A practical first-timer’s guide to the ten stations, event flow, results and what to bring to your first VITRO Vitality Games.
A practical first-timer’s guide to the ten stations, event flow, results and what to bring to your first VITRO Vitality Games.
Your first VITRO Vitality Games is not about proving that you are the fittest person in the room. It is a structured way to find out how your fitness performs across ten different stations, then leave with a benchmark you can use.
The event looks beyond one lift, one run or one impressive number. It brings endurance, strength, control and cardiovascular output together, producing a Vitality Score out of 100 and a Vitality Age at the end.
Do I need to be an experienced athlete?
No. First-time participants begin at Foundation level and do not need a previous VITRO result. The aim is to establish your starting point. Your score is information you can use, not a pass-or-fail judgement.
Before you arrive
Your booking confirmation should contain the exact venue, arrival and wave information for your event. Before setting off:
Read the event and booking information in full.
Wear comfortable training clothing and suitable trainers.
Bring water and anything specifically requested in your booking instructions.
Arrive with enough time to check in without rushing.
Tell the event team about anything relevant to your safe participation.
If you are unsure whether an event is suitable for you, contact VITRO before booking or taking part.
How the day works
1. Arrival and check-in
The event team confirms your booking and explains where you need to be. Follow the timing in your booking confirmation rather than relying on a general event-page estimate.
2. Briefing
You will be shown how the assessment works and what is expected at each station. Ask questions before beginning if any instruction is unclear.
3. Ten fitness stations
The ten stations cover Heart, Pull, Push, Handstand, Squat, Hinge, Core, Single Leg, Lungs and Balance. Together they create a broader picture than testing only running speed or lifting strength. You can explore the full VITRO test before taking part.
4. Scoring
Each station contributes up to ten points. Your station results combine into a Vitality Score out of 100.
5. Your result
At the end, your score and Vitality Age give you a clear benchmark. You can see where you performed strongly, where there is room to improve and what to work on before a future Games.
What are the four pillars?
The stations sit across four broad pillars:
Heart — steady aerobic endurance.
Lungs — higher-effort cardiovascular output.
Strength — pulling, pushing, squatting, hinging and single-leg performance.
Control — core control, handstand strength and balance.
The event is a fitness assessment and benchmark. It is not a medical diagnosis.
What should I bring?
Comfortable training kit.
Supportive trainers.
Water.
Your booking confirmation.
Any event-specific item listed in the joining instructions.
Can I fail the VITRO Vitality Games?
No. The purpose is to establish where you are now. A lower result in one station simply identifies an area you may choose to develop.
What happens after my first Games?
Use your result as a baseline. You can return to a future Games, compare like-for-like results and see whether your training has changed your overall score or individual station performance.
