The fine print

Every attempt is judged by the Death Fitness team. Tap a section to open it.

Who can enter
  • 18 or older, and a legal US resident to claim the prize.
  • Individuals only. No teams or shared decks.
  • Official Upper Body, Lower Body, and Core & Cardio decks only. No substitutions.
  • Unlimited attempts, one active submission at a time.
Filming requirements
  • Shuffle each deck on its own, then combine all three and shuffle again, on camera.
  • One continuous take from the shuffle to the last card. No cuts, edits, or angle changes.
  • A timer stays visible on screen for the entire attempt.
  • Every card stays visible as you pull it.
Reps, form, and time
  • Complete every card in all three decks, 210+ in total.
  • Full rep counts, and full time on timed moves like 45 second holds.
  • Rest whenever you want. The clock never stops.
  • Skipped cards, shortcuts, or poor form can disqualify you.
How reps are counted

The number on the card is total reps, not per side. Split left and right however you like. 3 lateral lunges can be 2 left and 1 right.

The only exceptions: side jumps, Russian twists, and bicycles count left + right as 1 rep. So 30 Russian twists means 30 left-right pairs.

How to submit

Option 1, preferred: live verified attempt. Do it in person or on a livestream with our team, set up ahead of time.

Option 2: raw video. Send one uncut video that meets the filming requirements above.

Either way, email challenge@deathfitness.com with the subject line "Death Fitness Challenge Submission."
