Everyone's talking about HYROX and everyone seemingly wants a HYROX.
But what's it all about?
As a veteran of a few foreign HYROX events, this episode puts Andy under questioning as both a coach and participant to get into the nitty-gritty of the fitness world's obsession with all things HYROX.
What's involved in an event? Do you need to be fit and strong to take part? Just how do you train for a HYROX event? Is it just the latest 'shiny object'? What if someone comes along with an event that offers 7k runs instead of 8k runs? And why are we all going crazy for HYROX?
From chasing fads and trendy competitions to feeling industry pressure to move and adapt, there's a lot to unbox in this episode.
We're not saying functional fitness is being monopolised, but those patches are pretty sweet. It's all about balance in the end, right?
Whether you're considering a HYROX event, already have your patches from previous events, or you're in the business and wondering should you start hanging HYROX signs in your gym, give this a listen and get our take on it all.
Dubbed as 'the World Series of fitness racing', you can find more about HYROX by visiting hyrox.com and of course, closer to home, you can find out more about Urban Gym by visiting urbangym.ie.
