Today, Friday, 15 November, Apia Park will come alive with excited spectators and determined athletes as CrossFit Fatu Toa hosts its 9th annual Toa Competition. On Saturday, the competition moves to Fatu Toa’s gym in Vaitele for day two, marking another chapter in what has evolved from a small in-house event to one of Samoa’s premier fitness competitions.
This year’s theme, “Fitness, Your Shield Against Sickness,” emphasizes that true fitness represents “super health.” Health markers like blood pressure, heart rate, and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) improve as fitness strengthens, building resilience against illness and aging. CrossFit Fatu Toa proudly partners with sponsors to present Toa 2024, Samoa’s leading fitness showcase.
Since its launch in 2016, the Toa Competition has expanded tremendously, drawing athletes and fitness fans from across the region. Co-owner and Coach Brandon Sefo reflects, “It’s amazing to see how this event has grown. What began as a simple team challenge for our gym community to celebrate progress has become a major event on Samoa’s fitness calendar.”
More than a test of strength and endurance, the Toa Competition is a celebration of community and inclusivity, welcoming athletes of all fitness levels and backgrounds and creating a space where everyone feels valued.
“We’re thrilled to welcome new athletes competing for the first time, alongside familiar faces returning to the Toa Competition,” Coach Brandon shares. “Our goal was to create an event that not only challenges athletes but also brings people together to share their passion for fitness. Whether you’re an experienced CrossFit athlete or a newcomer, there’s a place for you here.”
Over two days, athletes will face intense workouts testing strength, stamina, and agility, providing an opportunity to showcase the results of their dedication.
We are deeply grateful for the invaluable support of our sponsors, whose contributions have made the 9th Toa competition possible and continue to strengthen our event: National Bank of Samoa, Ah Liki Wholesale, Sublime, Taula Beverages, Petroleum Products Supplies, Eveni Sport, JJ Hansell Electrical Engineering, Faleolo Airport Lounge, Adira Sports, Ministry of Sport and Recreation, and Fatu Toa Nutrition.
Join us at Apia Park on Friday from 4:30 pm and at CrossFit Fatu Toa in Vaitele on Saturday from 8:30 am to cheer on competitors in their quest for the Toa Championship, as we foster a culture of strength, resilience, and community. Together, we can inspire one another to pursue active lifestyles that keep us strong and prepared for whatever life brings.
