The first-ever World Fitness Project competition was this past weekend in Westfield, Indiana. Tour Event 1 hosted 100 athletes split between the Pro and Challenger divisions. On Sunday, Austin Hatfield and Alex Gazan won the Pro Division.
The Pro Division featured 30 men and 30 women. The field included the 20 signed pro athletes and 10 challengers from the online qualifier.
The Challenger Division included 20 men and 20 women from the online qualifier.
All athletes in both divisions are looking to earn as many points throughout the three-competition series this year with the goal to become (or stay) a signed Pro athlete. The top 20 athletes in points at the end of the season will get a pro card for the 2026 season.
With their win, Hatfield and Gazan each earned 500 points towards their season total. Both also received $30,000 for taking first place. However, I have been told that the prize money is netted against their base salary for being a signed pro athlete.
That is, if Hatfield’s base salary is $20,000 (no idea if it is or not), he would only take home $10,000 of that $30,000 prize purse. If his base salary was $30,000, he would not receive any additional prize money this weekend. But he would then take home any future prize money earned because his salary threshold had been met.

CHALLENGER DIVISION
The Challenger Division featured athletes who finished 11th through 30th in the online qualifier. There were, however, quite a few athletes who declined their invite. Because of this, athletes as far down as 52nd in the qualifier (Johnie Charles) were invited to compete.
The top 5 men and women did receive $1,000 each in the division. In addition, they earned points toward their season total.
