National Fitness League hosts competitive fitness events across Northern Ireland, built for beginners and established athletes alike.
A place to compete together, not train alone.
National Fitness League was started by Sam and Mitchell, who missed the team side of competing that they had in football and rugby. They built NFL so fitness goers of every level could line up together, push each other and race for something that matters.
It starts in Bangor, Northern Ireland, and it is growing into a nationwide league.
