Complete Spectator’s Guide to 2025 TYR Wodapalooza Miami

It’s January in Miami, and you know what that means — it’s time for TYR Wodapalooza! 

• The weekend of January 23-26 will see the city transform into a fitness hotspot for all levels. 

The competition has moved across the bay to 801 Ocean Drive in Miami Beach, and you can expect quite a show for the new location’s debut.

Dylan Malitsky, Loud and Live’s Vice President of Sports and Managing Director of TYR WZA Miami and TYR WZA SoCal, hopes that Miami Beach will become the long-term home of TYR Wodapalooza and help it grow into an even larger space. 

• “The event is going to be between 6th and 10th Street on the beach, on Ocean Drive on the sand,” Malitsky told Morning Chalk Up. “This just opens up the playbook for us to really ideate and create this thing exactly as we see fit. [With] Bayfront Park, we were sort of locked into a certain type of logistical flow.”
