Have you heard of Hyrox Fitness competitions?

I like it better than CrossFit.

HYROX is an indoor fitness competition that combines 8 kilometres (5.0 mi) of running and 8 workout stations, alternating between running and functional exercises.

It bills itself as “The World Series of Fitness Racing” and “A sport for Everybody”

Launched in Germany 2018.

CrossFit athlete Emma Lawson

Only 18-years-old, Emma Lawson finished 2nd in the 2023 CrossFit Games.

CrossFit women are the athletes most closely matched with female gymnasts in terms of relative strength.

I’m interested to see how Emma got so strong at such a young age. She trains with coach coach Josh Woolley.

Emma can’t believe how well she’s doing in this sport already.

The winner in 2023 was 26-year-old Hungarian, Laura Horvath. She started in climbing.

Reebok cuts ties with CrossFit

  1. CrossFit “workout of the day” is bad coaching.  Every person training should have an individual prescription designed to meet their fitness goals.
  2. CrossFit CEO Greg Glassman has long been controversial.

It’s time to reevaluate the company.

Fitness brands including Reebok have cut ties with CrossFit after the company’s CEO posted a tweet making light of George Floyd’s death. …

Mr Glassman has now apologised, saying CrossFit “will not stand for racism”. …

Since Mr Glassman’s tweet about George Floyd, hundreds of affiliate gyms have removed CrossFit from their branding. A spreadsheet tracking all of the gyms that are rebranding currently lists 227 fitness centres distancing themselves from CrossFit. …
