💥 FIRST OFFICIAL MEN’S SOLO HYROX 💥

What a weekend it was…
London ExCeL was absolutely electric ⚡️

Back in June, I bought the tickets.
By September, I’d pushed through my first simulation.
And on Saturday at 1pm, I stepped up to the mark and gave it everything I had.

Looking back at the results, it’s crazy to see that I was able to hold a rough 3:30/km pace on wobbly legs 🤯💨

And yep… the 100 wall balls did what they do best right at the very end 🥲
But I kept pushing, racing my own race, and crossed that finish line knowing I left nothing behind.

Nothing quite prepares you for the level of fatigue on race day — which explains why my legs are now officially apple-crumble 😂🍏

A massive thank you to Kate and Hayley for the support when the going got tough, and to all my clients & members who wished me luck for the big day 🙏

So now the real question is…

What challenge is next on the horizon? 👀

First ever Hyrox Men’s Solo Simulation ✅

Last weekend, I decided to dive headfirst into my first Hyrox simulation 🫡

After securing a ticket for my first official Hyrox Solo Race in December (London Baby 🇬🇧), I was notified of an upcoming event at Winners 2000 Gym in Newton Abbot. I figured this would be the perfect chance not only to test my strength and cardiovascular durability, but also to see how I handled the pressure of a real event 🏁

Most of the crazy ideas I’ve gone through with have been last-minute and usually done solo 😂

Walking into a brand new gym, with barely any idea of how the racecourse was set was a little daunting, but once the clock hit 9:42 ⏱️, the nerves disappeared. From there, it was all about focusing on the next station, the next breath, and avoiding a dreaded stitch😮‍💨

After Finishing the final 100 wall balls and crossing the line at 1:16 🎉 it reminded me heavily that spontaneousness and diving into deep waters is a recipe for self growth ‼️

Also though a real reminder that preparation pays off — even when you step into something new on your own 🙋‍♂️

“ Any plunge into the unknown is reckless - but that’s where the treasure lies “ 🏆

✨TRANSFORMATION TUESDAY✨

Meet Alan 🙋‍♂️ a Father 👴 Construction Worker 🚆 & Newly Appointed Spin Class Lover 😂🚴‍♂️

Roughly 10 months ago Alan came to me with just two goals…

1️⃣ Lose weight
2️⃣ Feel Great

Alan started on the scales at 16st 3lbs (103kg) & now weighs ➡️ 13st 0lbs (82.5kg) that is a whopping 20.5kg different‼️

In just 10 months, Alan has completely turned his life around! 🙌

As a busy father 👨‍👧‍👦 he decided to make his health a priority — not just for himself, but for his kids too ❤️ Through resistance training 🏋️‍♂️ countless spin classes 🚴‍♂️, and adopting a more high protein diet approach he has built consistency, strength, and discipline.

Now, exercise isn’t a chore — it’s a lifestyle. 
His energy is higher, his health is better, and he’s setting an incredible example for his children 👏

Huge respect to Alan for proving what can be achieved in just one year 🙏
