Palestra World
PALESTRA is a combat fitness world inspired by ancient Roman warrior training arenas, blending functional fitness with combat sports.
A fully integrated platform
Powered by ClubRight, Palestra World offers membership, bookings and payments in one ecosystem — event scheduling, athlete rankings, training content and automated payments for athletes, with attendance tracking and marketing tools for organisers.
Built on ClubRight's network
Integration with ClubRight's network of over 1,200 gyms, including combat sports clubs, enables scalable growth, grassroots engagement and global accessibility — a connected community with a data-driven event management system.
How a Palestra event runs
Athletes go off in waves on a common start time and work through three zones in the same order — speed, power and endurance. It is non-contact throughout: the challenges are timed and reactive, borrowing the demands of combat sport without anyone taking a punch. Performances are measured and ranked to produce an overall winner, and results feed into global rankings. The setting is a fight-style arena rather than a field or a gym floor, which is most of the appeal.
Something for members to train towards
For a club, the value is a date in the diary. Members who have plateaued train differently when there is an event coming, and because it is non-contact, boxers, martial artists and ordinary gym members can all enter without needing to be fighters. Events run as nationwide competitions and pop-up roadshows, so there is usually something within travelling distance. Sending a group turns it into a club trip rather than an individual entry, which is where the retention benefit sits.
Powered by ClubRight for membership, bookings and payments across a network of 1,200+ gyms — an arena-based competition format blending boxing, wrestling and grappling with functional fitness.
