What Is Hyrox, and Why Did I Decide to Do It? 💪

I embraced the challenge of Hyrox—now it’s your turn to reflect: What’s your next step?

Read Time: 3 mins ⏱️

This week, I’m sharing my Hyrox experience—a journey into endurance, strength, and stepping far outside my comfort zone.

As I unpack my lessons, I want you to reflect on something:

  • What do you do to challenge your body and mind?

  • How do you create space for growth and resilience?

Let’s dive in!

1️⃣ What Is Hyrox, and Why Did I Do It?

Hyrox is an endurance fitness event where running meets functional workouts. Think sled pushes, running, lunges, rowing, and more—.

So, why did I sign up?

  • To test myself beyond my norm: It’s easy to fall into comfortable habits, but that’s where growth slows. I have been doing CrossFit for a while now, so anything over 1hour of exercise is completely different for my body!

  • To build resilience: Hyrox forced me to embrace discomfort and adapt, change my routine and types of workouts - mentally and physically.

  • To see what’s possible: Could I do it challenge? What could I learn from it?

Now, ask yourself: when was the last time you truly challenged yourself?

8km of Running - 8 Stations of Exercise

2️⃣ Why Pushing Limits Builds Resilience

The thing about challenges that test us, is that they reveal your untapped potential.


Here’s what I learned:

  • My body is more capable than my mind

  • Mental toughness is key - determination over motivation

  • Discomfort sparks growth, that takes you to the next level

  • I CAN DO THIS

Flip the lens: What discomfort are you avoiding? How could leaning into it make you stronger?

3️⃣ Adapt to Grow: The Power of Change

  • Variety is essential: Repeating the same routines won’t push you to new heights.

  • Patience is part of progress: Adaptation doesn’t happen overnight, but consistency drives results.

  • Resilience is built in the struggle: Each rep, each lap, each challenge adds to your strength—not just physically but mentally too.

Now it’s your turn: How could you bring variety into your life—whether in fitness, work, or mindset—to spark growth?

CONCLUSION

Hyrox wasn’t just about the competition; it was about the journey of challenging myself to grow stronger, more adaptable, and more resilient and shake things up for my body.

It’s a reminder that stepping outside your comfort zone is where real transformation happens.

So, I leave you with this:
What are you doing to challenge your body, your mind, and your limits this week?
