The second WFP Challenger Qualifier has concluded, and unofficial results are in. World Fitness Project Tour Stop II produces unofficial Challenger qualifier results that show Jamie Simmonds of New Zealand and Nick Mathew of the United States currently leading their divisions. Pending final video review, both athletes are set to advance to the Pro Division event in Mesa, Arizona, scheduled for August 29–31.
This Tour Stop is more than just a qualifier. It offers prize money, ranking points, and a coveted chance to compete in the Finals in Copenhagen, Denmark, this December. The Copenhagen Finals will crown Pro Card winners, award salaries, and secure athlete spots on the 2026 tour.
Nine men and 11 women will qualify for the Pro Division and join 20 pre-signed Pro athletes. Each Pro athlete will earn between 270 and 500 points at every tour stop. Meanwhile, Challenger athletes will earn up to 250 points based on placement.
The Challenger Division leaderboard will decide which 20 athletes receive 2026 Pro Cards. Thus, Tour Stop II is critical not only for this season but for long-term careers in the sport.

Emma Lawson, Arielle Loewen, and Lucy Campbell continue to push the top ranks, making every upcoming event critical. Fee Saghafi leads all Challengers in 11th place, maintaining a narrow lead over several top competitors.
As Mesa approaches, every rep counts. The top 10 women listed below are positioning themselves not only for a Copenhagen invitation but also to lock in their place as future leaders of the sport.
| 🏅 Rank | Name | Division | Points |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Alex Gazan | Pro Card | 500 |
| 2 | Danielle Brandon | Pro Card | 485 |
| 3 | Aimee Cringle | Pro Card | 470 |

The Big Picture
Athletes like Colten Mertens and Fee Saghafi are nearly guaranteed Finals spots due to their current point totals. Mertens scored 410 points at Tour Stop I. Even a modest finish in Mesa will likely secure his ticket to Copenhagen.
Others such as Nick Mathew, Aniol Ekai, and Nate Ackerman have quietly risen through the ranks and could challenge for top-five positions. Mesa will be a key proving ground.
On the women’s side, the field is tighter. Jamie Simmonds and Oda Lundekvam look strong, but if Simmonds skips Mesa again, Lydia Fish may rise to Pro status. Every rep and every point could mean the difference between qualification and elimination.
