I started taking my health and fitness really seriously nearly twelve months ago to the day. 

‍

2021 - end of 2023, I was playing tennis, playing five-a-side football, I got married in the May so I'd had a PT running up from December to May.

But I’d mentioned to the guy that I spoke about in my last blog who was taking some clients away for warm weather training, that I'm not getting what I used to get out of my activities

I'm throwing the tennis ball up and I'm thinking about emails that I should be responding to. It’s the same with football, I’d been playing five-a-side for a couple of years at that point and I wasn’t getting that block out from the wider world all the time that I used to. 

‍

And for me, having some time away from the business and closing everything out or shutting everything out is really, really important - and different people get that from different things in their life.

Then he said to me “Have you heard of fitness racing or Hyrox? Have you ever thought about doing a triathlon?”

Honestly, I hadn't. I just thought it was too scary and probably too hard and had never heard of Hyrox or functional fitness training. 

I was quite happy just coasting around, playing a couple of games of tennis a week and a couple of five-a-side football matches, but the fitness really kicked off in September 2023 when I walked into my first class with Adam (LINK). At the time I remember thinking initially that I was quite fit… 45 minutes later I realised I was not fit at all.

"All I could think about was that next row, the next lunge.. It was exactly what I’d been looking for."

‍

I think the clarity that it’s continued to bring me, training four or five times a week in these classes and being able to block out work and the busyness of the consultancy, has given me a new lease of life again because it's been a very exciting but very challenging sort of four years. 

But we're here now with a new brand and a new service that everybody's really excited about! 

The growth mindset principles behind Hyrox, and the time I’ve spent with Adam, have really translated and breathed a new life into me and into the business, and I can’t wait for others to feel those benefits. That’s the real reason behind the events.

Let's get more Founders focused on their health.
