PA Games combine competition with community spirit.
The 2025 PA Games will take place on Saturday, 1 November, at Parkes Athletic, 2/36 Boyd Circuit, Parkes. Athletes will compete across a range of functional fitness workouts inspired by HYROX, Gymnastics , Olympic lifting, and Strongman. Expect to see everything from barbell lifts and gymnastics work on the rig to running, rowing, and classic partner challenges.
Parkes Athletic (PA) is a communitybased fitness facility in Parkes focused on helping people of all ages and abilities build strength, confidence, and a love for movement. They offer a range of programs including Functional fitness-style training, Olympic lifting, HYROX, group classes, kids and teens fitness, and recovery services — all in a welcoming, team-driven environment.
The PA Games began in 2023 as a friendly in-house competition for our members, designed to challenge athletes across a variety of fitness domains — strength, endurance, and teamwork.
Since its first year, the PA Games has grown significantly — more competitors, more sponsors, and a bigger spectator crowd each time. Everyone is welcome to attend. Whether you’re a fitness fan, family member, or just curious to see the action, we encourage the community to come along, cheer on the athletes, enjoy a coffee, and soak up the atmosphere. Entry is free for spectators.
The PA Games will run from 8am to 3pm.
Spectators can grab a coffee, hang out or jump into a recovery session.
