We said goodbye to Sahel atmosphere. Things are going back to boredom with the same hangout places. The new thing is always the opening of a strange cuisine restaurant and the new events taking place range from food to music making it difficult for fitness freaks to have a place. However, this won’t be the case this year as the event many people have marked their calendar for is coming back for the 4th year respectively, ELFIT Reebok!
ELFIT Reebok is the first & biggest fitness competition in Egypt and one of the leading fitness events in the Region. It was created and is managed by In The Zone Sports.

ELFIT started in Egypt in February 2013. It became an urgent need for health and fitness to take the lead. It’s becoming a common thing, everybody wants a sexy body, and healthy is the new sexy, everybody wants to get fit and try new sports. However it’s not about getting people to work out or helping them to find the suitable venue. People already passed this stage, they want more. They want an aim, a goal to reach, and a destination. This is one of the main aims why ELFIT was created, it’s a perfect opportunity for all people who keep working out all year long to come at the end and measure their performance, know if they are on the right track, and challenge themselves with others.
Everybody wants to get fit! Yes! But they don’t want it to seem like a serious appointment with the dentist. They want to have fun and feel motivated while getting fit. Although the organizing of ELFIT is as professional as any formal sports championship, people play with certain t-shirts and IDs and there are judges, it doesn’t lose the fun convenient part. It’s one of the very few events that gathers almost all athletes in town so they feel familiar to the community. It motivates participants to join as there a reward for the winners at the end. Besides, any fit person with whatever level of professionalism has place there as teams are divided to include a place for professionals, and other for intermediates and beginners.
