We started off with our memories of Rylan before heading into the news of the week. Love you all. 

Ben from ROXFIT joins the show to talk about his journey from rugby to HYROX and how that path led to creating the ROXFIT app. We cover his athletic background, why rugby players often transition well into hybrid fitness, and the story behind building ROXFIT from an early MVP to a platform now serving over 100000 users.. He also shares insights on: • How ROXFIT is different from other HYROX data platforms • Live race tracking, pacing tools, and new AI features • The future of hybrid fitness apps beyond HYROX • Balancing performance with fun in the content they create Guest Links: Ben | RoxFit Listen on Apple or Spotify Support us through The Cup Of Coffee Follow Hybrid Fitness Media on IG Watch On YouTube  

We start in Texas with DEKA FIT Austin, where athletes packed the arena for two full days of racing. Cheryl and Dave share first-hand stories from the floor, including the atmosphere, judging struggles, and how the relay and elite heats played out. Across the Atlantic, DEKA FIT made its UK arena debut in Derby. Ian Kay reports back on what worked, what still needs refining, and how it stacked up against the strong Spanish events. From course layout to volunteer shortages to new equipment, the UK launch had the buzz of early HYROX days. Kevin Gregory, AKA Bubbles joined us to give lots of his takes on the latest news as well. Then we move into one of the most talked-about topics in HYROX right now — the introduction of “fast lane police.” What started as a viral photo turned into a serious debate about fairness, pacing, and how crowded courses should be managed. We break down what it means for athletes at sold-out races and whether it's the right solution. Along the way we also cover: • Why new DEKA machines in the UK felt faster or harder depending on the erg • Equipment differences between Europe and the U.S. • The problem of judging consistency across waves • How event growth is changing the community feel in both DEKA and HYROX • Whether five-day HYROX events are a great experience or just too big It's a full recap of DEKA Austin, the first DEKA FIT UK, and HYROX's latest move to control race flow.

Wes Robertson outlines the launch of LT Games at the Target Center in Minneapolis on October 25–26. He walks through the 17-station format including machine runs, barbell and dumbbell work, wall balls, box jump-overs, ski and row segments, with a choose-your-own-adventure loading system to hit total weight targets. We cover judging, heat structure, equipment from Torque, the expected field size of around 250 athletes, and Lifetime's long-term plan for more hubs, qualifiers, and eventually a national championship. Hugo Inglis (Olympic hockey, High Impact Athletes) explains how his Rio Olympic experience led to founding High Impact Athletes, an athlete-led movement connecting pros and now HYROX racers to vetted global charities. He details how Race for Impact works inside HYROX ticketing, how charities are selected by independent evaluators, and the current focus areas: global health, mental health, climate solutions, and women's empowerment, or animal welfare.

This week's Not So Live Show covers HYROX's new athlete license (anti-doping, code of conduct, first wave access, cost), what it means for the Elite 15 and the broader field, and whether Rally West Virginia or something like it could grow into a true mass participation alternative to HYROX and DEKA. We also get into: – Event formats: what works and what doesn't – Sponsor realities for hybrid events big and small – The DEKA Relay test — what we liked and what we're still unsure about – The new DEKA UK velodrome course and how it changes race flow – Whether this is a reset moment for hybrid competition Guest Links: Ugly Dave | Cheryl Snow Watch on YouTube Listen on Apple or Spotify Support us through The Cup Of Coffee Follow Hybrid Fitness Media on IG

Michael Dalton has lived the creative grind, from sleeping in vans on tour, to running lights for a band, to shooting weddings and eventually making the leap into CrossFit media. Over a decade with the CrossFit Games, he contributed to every “Fittest on Earth” documentary before moving into his own client and brand work. In this episode we talk about: Touring days and working odd jobs to get by Building a career in creative work without losing yourself CrossFit media, from Savon to Tia to Fraser Why paying people what they're worth matters Organization, burnout, and finding balance as a dad and business owner Guest Links: | Michael Dalton |  Watch on YouTube Listen on Apple or Spotify Support us through The Cup Of Coffee Follow Hybrid Fitness Media on IG  

Things get heated as Matt, Cheryl, Dave, and special guest Jay (joining from the UK) tackle the fallout from Deadly Dozen's latest event. What started as a couple of Instagram clips spiraled into thousands of views, dozens of comments, and a full-blown debate about judging, movement standards, and world record legitimacy. The crew digs into why the community reacted so strongly, whether “bad reps” can ever be waved off, and how Deadly plans to fix judging issues before prize money and championships hit in 2026. Plus, Jay calls his shot: UK athletes will dominate unless U.S. elites step up. We also hit on: Why hybrid fans might just be bored post-Worlds. Dave Parkin's lightning-fast Deadly performance (and its controversies). How Deadly Dozen is investing in judges, pay scales, and head-judge systems. The bigger picture: building culture, enforcing standards, and handling criticism. Cheryl's DEKA Mile at Camp Rhino and finding joy in fitness when times are tough. The Lifetime Games tease: 17 stations, big volume, and no hiding. HYROX Atlanta ticket sales — slowing demand or just timing issues? The new HYROX Conditioning Test (HCT) from Lauren Rantala.

Oscar Moreno spent 18 years in the Army with tours in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Guantanamo. After retiring in 2020 he found DEKA FIT in 2022 and went all in, competing everywhere, qualifying for Worlds, and eventually opening Flagal Fitness in the San Fernando Valley. From there he launched the San Fernando Valley Games, a new strength and endurance race format, and now he is hosting a HYROX simulation weekend in Sylmar, CA on October 18 and 19. Day one is HYROX Strong, all stations with no running. Day two is the full simulation with solo, doubles, and relay divisions. Timing chips included. John Hickey is the creator of Best of LinkedIn, the account that skewers corporate cringe and fake “my kid said this” posts. What started as parody became a career shift. John moved from ad sales into directing major ad campaigns. We talk Made Up Kid Monday, the infamous crying CMO, where satire ends and doxxing begins, and why people melt when their thought leadership gets exposed.

Lauren Rantala has been in the hybrid fitness racing scene since 2021. She and her husband, Marc, were the original U.S. team visiting gyms and inviting people to try this new thing called HYROX. Since then, she's moved on to work with Output Sports and was brought out this week for the first-ever Red Bull Coaches Camp. We talked about the new HYROX Conditioning Test (HCT) she helped develop, broke down the Coaches Camp, took a trip down memory lane to those early HYROX days, and much more.

We get into how it all started, what makes Turf Games different from CrossFit and HYROX, and what's next for the brand in places like the U.S., Dubai, and beyond. We also talk about: • Why Turf Games was built for people who don't fit the CrossFit mold • The shift from high-skill fitness to more accessible formats • Creating a festival experience, not just a competition • Balancing family and event life • Marketing, social media, and building FOMO • Launching new formats like Turf Engine • Expansion plans for the U.S. Listen on Apple or Spotify Support us through The Cup Of Coffee Follow Hybrid Fitness Media on IG

There's a full HYROX Sim happening in Windsor. Gideon from Hesman Athletics and Performance came on to talk about how they “built this event from the ground up to mimic the real race-day experience — from the venue to the pacing, transitions, and judging standards.” He also shares how they're making the sport accessible for everyone, including 200-pound women and 300-pound plus dudes. That includes a division that swaps Assault Bikes in for running, and the launch of a TRYROX division — featuring “shorter runs, lighter weights, and a supportive environment focused on completing, not competing.” Then we chat with Rich Ryan, shortly after he got back from this year's HYROX World Champs in Chicago. His singles and doubles races didn't go as planned. We talk about our shared experience in Chicago, how those races went down, and what we think of some of the new HYROX announcements for next season.

I first met Gus at ATHX in Birmingham. Actually, I first heard him. This powerful voice with a fascinating accent was coming through the loudspeakers while I was pushing myself to exhaustion during ATHX two years ago. I later learned that he brings that booming voice and big personality to fitness races and competitions all over the world. I wanted to bring him on the show to hear more about his story and how he ended up in this space. What I got was so much more. He shared how he came to the UK with hardly any money and no English, did whatever it took to survive, and eventually thrived as a coach and business owner. Plus, we talk about the new training program he's launched with Chris Hinshaw. Today's episode is sponsored by Amazfit – Amazfit is the official timekeeper and wearable partner of HYROX.
