The World Fitness Project is heating up — here’s what you need to know.
Last updated on May 19th, 2025
The World Fitness Project kicked off its inaugural season at Tour Event I in Indianapolis earlier this month. Fans enjoyed exciting races and a tight leaderboard.
Check out the full season leaderboard below. If you’re still wondering how the WFP Tour works, we’ll explain that next.
- Also, take a look at our key takeaways from the first tour stop here.
WFP Season Structure
First, the WFP Tour is divided into three competitions throughout the calendar year:
- Tour Event I – Indianapolis, IN, May 9-11.
- Tour Event II – Phoenix-Mesa, AZ, August 29-31.
- World Fitness Finals – Copenhagen, Denmark, December 18-21.
For the inaugural year, the World Fitness Project team selected 20 men and 20 women as signed “Pro” athletes.
- The signed athletes include well-known names such as Pat Vellner, Laura Horvath, Austin Hatfield, and Alex Gazan.
Before each Tour Event, the WFP holds an online qualifier. The top 10 athletes in the online qualifier compete in the Pro Division alongside the signed athletes, while the next 20 qualifying athletes form the Challenger Division for that Tour Event.
- In both divisions, Pros and Challengers, the on-site goal is to compete for a podium finish and to hold the big check at the end.
However, that isn’t the goal of the season-long tour.
The goal of the season is to earn a Pro Card for the following season, which includes a guaranteed contract and an exemption from the online qualifiers.
Athletes need to accumulate points throughout the season to earn a Pro Card.
- Worth noting: The WFP announced last week that Colten Mertens and Fee Saghafi would receive invitations into the Pro Division at Tour Event II “by virtue of being the highest finishing Pro Qualifiers in their respective divisions at WFP Tour Stop I.”
Because the Challengers are required to qualify for the Tour Events online, the fields of both the Challengers qualifying in the Pro Division and the Challenger Division itself will likely shift and change from tour stop to tour stop.
World Fitness Project – Points Table
Tour Stops I and II
The Pro Division’s points range from 500 for first place to 270 for 30th place. For the Challenger Division, points range from 250 for winning to 155 for finishing in 20th place. Thus, it is a major benefit for athletes in the online qualifier to place in the top 10 and earn a berth in the Pro Division.
World Fitness Finals
The points are all doubled, so in the Pro division, the points range from 1,000 for winning down to 340 for placing 30th at the tour stop. In the Challenger division, the points range from 500 for winning down to 310 for taking 20th at the tour stop.

Points Standing After Tour Stop I
In the Pro Division, Alex Gazan and Austin Hatfield won Tour Stop I and were awarded 500 points each for their season totals. If they were to sweep the whole season, a pro could potentially earn 2,000 points.
For the Challenger Division, Tudor Magda and Jennifer Muir won and were awarded 250 points for their season totals. They could potentially reach 1,750 points if they qualify for the Pro Division in Mesa, AZ, and win both Tour Event II and the Finals.

- Note that points are only awarded to athletes who compete on the floor at the Tour Stop. Simply qualifying or being a Pro Card athlete does not grant points.
- The asterisk (*) next to the athlete’s name denotes that they are a Challenger who qualified for the Pro Division. The top Pro Qualifiers were Colten Mertens, who placed ninth, and Fee Saghafi, who placed 11th.
The following athletes qualified or were signed but have zero points as they did not compete at the Tour Event I.
- Haley Adams – Signed Pro (withdrew) – 0 points.
- Emma McQuaid – Signed Pro (withdrew) – 0 points.
- Kyra Miligan – Challenger (withdrew) – 0 points.
Currently, the points totals align with the rankings from the first tour stop, but after Tour Stop II in Mesa, things will begin to heat up significantly.
All eyes are on the next online qualifier this July – registration is open now – to see who remains focused on a spot in the Pro Division and who is trending in the points race for a 2026 WFP Pro Card.
