The NLI Series is a fitness competition crafted for athletes of all walks of life and should be used as a testing ground and stepping stone. It is designed to be a test of one’s physical ability over a series of 3-single day events spanning 6 months. We have the Summer series, which runs January through June and the Winter series which runs July through December. Our goal is to provide  a great experience and a great day of competition. We do not adhere to conventionality. There are tests of every kind. We do not limit ourselves or work from a biased starting point - at least we make an effort not to.

The NLI is an athletic event. We want to be outside, in nature, and not holed up in a warehouse or a gym. We want the sun, the breese, the rain... the hail... because it adds to our experience. With that said, every event will be done rain or shine; so prepare as necessary. 

 We refuse to accept that fitness is confined to a certain group of movements, or an energy system. We've all been exponsed to improperly designed workouts containing unreasonable weights or skill requirements meant, seemingly, only to shock and awe. We are looking to TEST, and do it intelligently over time (6 months).

Your philosophy may be different than ours. And we accept that.  

We categorize our athletes into Division I, II, and III.  Division I is the most advanced, while Division II and III are less advanced. We offer these Divisions so athletes can be compared to their peers and have a progression pipeline as they gain competitive experience and become stronger, faster and better… Our philosophy is that having a funnel of progress will give the most people possible a platform to improve as athletes and humans - under pressure, in front of stranger, in the heat of summer or the chill of winter . As the field of athletes increase, this becomes necessary as the spread of skill and ability is absolutely vast.  

The majority of athletes out there are Division II and III - these athletes can do most things but have trouble with heavy weights or high skill movements etc. Our focus is to give everyone a chance to compete, not just the elite athletes. We want everyone to experience competition. We want everyone to have a chance to become legendary...
