Socal fitness festival, a large event for athletic people in Southern California to compete for fun in events of endurance and strength.

 

HUNTINGTON BEACH...Huntington Beach is a laid-back beach community and maybe its time to see how to get our bodies back into shape.

Last Friday, September 25, 2026 the historic Huntington Beach Pier and Plaza played host to a three-day fitness event in which over 2,000 athletes competed in weightlifting, strongman and Olympic-style events.

 

The idea was to bring world-class athletes and fans together for a three-day event that featured competition and fitness. This year Wodapaloooza has a new format: "Battle of the Camps," that featured four six-member teams — Brute, Prvn, Outcast and Training Think Tank with each team having three men and three women, with two captains.

 

During the day there was entertainment from Zach Telandar, Coastal, and the Fulltimers.
