They get into prize money, qualification paths, and the business behind gym partnerships, including how gyms can actually make money running events and where the model is evolving. The conversation then shifts to HYROX and what's happening right now with ticket demand.

Amber Tait and Chelsie Grant are two of the most decorated athletes in the DEKA and the co-founders of Build Method, an online training platform they launched in February 2026. We cover how their partnership started, what they've built together, and where it's going. Matt sits down with Eric Botsford to break down the next evolution of fitness racing, including the launch of The Gauntlet under Wodapalooza. The new format introduces five distinct stages with built-in recovery, a central "terminal" for athletes and spectators, and a more gamified, festival-style experience aimed at a broader audience. They also get into the bigger picture. HYROX hitting a tipping point in America, why it took so long, and what most people still misunderstand about growth in the U.S. fitness market. The conversation expands into gym trends, why Nike's fitness concept didn't last, and the constant cycle of what's "hot" versus what actually works Amber and Chelsie How a low-expectations doubles race in 2023 turned into a world record partnership Setting two Deadly Dozen female pair records in a single night Breaking down the full Deadly Dozen format and what makes it different The Build Method origin story and why they built it together Eight programs, targeted pacing, and how it delivers one-on-one results at scale Chelsea's background in web development and how it shapes the brand The virtual DEKA masterclass and what athletes will actually learn DEKA Toronto on Halloween and why the date isn't the problem people think it is The Deadly Sprint, breaking news courtesy of Amber Eric Botsford from WZA Sports. What The Gauntlet actually is and how it's different Five-stage format with mandatory rest periods Why most hybrid races are starting to look the same The "terminal" concept and spectator experience How HYROX finally hit the tipping point in the U.S. Why Americans were late to adopt hybrid racing Wodapalooza expansion and global festival strategy Nike gyms shutting down and what actually happened Fitness trends vs real training (Pilates, biohacking, etc.) Why strength training always comes back Today's episode is sponsored by Wodify.

Elite 15 briefing culture and verbal rulebook tension Warsaw penalty situation with trash and littering enforcement Mid-season rule shifts versus consistency debate Rapid cooling rule clarification and enforcement Athlete perspective rules are clear in briefings even if not public Fan perspective lack of written rulebook creates confusion Grid versus non-grid racing chaos and safety concerns Course factors behind fast times cold weather sleds and layout World record inflation discussion and athlete skepticism DEKA Sacramento preview and format differences versus HYROX Flat Out UK race breakdown and format innovations LT Games preview and elite matchups This episode centered on the growing disconnect between how HYROX communicates rules internally to Elite 15 athletes and how those same rules are understood publicly. According to Elite athlete Marcus Wallace, enforcement in Warsaw was extremely clear in the mandatory briefing, including a strict two-minute penalty for littering, with exact trash can locations shown and emphasized. The issue, as Matt and the crew pushed, isn't whether athletes knew the rules. It's that those rules have changed mid-season and aren't documented in a consistent, public-facing way. That creates a situation where penalties can decide world championship qualification, while earlier races allowed the same behavior without consequence. The broader conversation widened into familiar territory: inconsistent conditions, inflated times, and the credibility of "world records" in HYROX. Even athletes themselves are treating times cautiously, recognizing that course setup, sled conditions, and temperature can swing results dramatically. At the same time, the sport continues to evolve quickly, experimenting with formats, layouts, and enforcement. The tension is clear. HYROX is trying to be responsive and flexible, while the audience increasingly wants structure, transparency, and consistency as the stakes rise. Today's episode is sponsored by Wodify.

Today's guest is Will “Hoss” Ratelle — former All-Big Sky linebacker turned strength and conditioning coach, with experience at the University of North Dakota, the NFL, and the CFL. Known for his intense, results-driven training style, Hoss blends his pro football background with evidence-based methods to build size, speed, and resilience in athletes. He's also the creator of popular programs like “Hoss Concurrent” and a respected voice in the online performance space. Most fitness and training education tends to be rigid, centered around fixed sets, reps, heart rate zones, and prescribed loads and timing. While this structure has value, athletes eventually need to move beyond it and enter a more adaptive, natural rhythm of training. Sets and reps can serve as a starting point, but great coaching gives training a feel, one that fosters ownership, problem-solving, and deeper athlete engagement. On today's episode, Will Ratelle shares practical strategies for building training protocols that allow for flexibility and athlete autonomy. He discusses how to keep athletes dialed in during strength and power work, while also diving into topics like hamstring rehab, velocity-based training, and more.

Will adapts by simplifying programming indoors and accepting seasonal fluctuations in volume and intensity. What to try: Plan for seasonal ebbs and flows, especially in outdoor-heavy programs. Shift to more controlled indoor environments during harsh weather periods. Keep aerobic and speed elements alive through creative indoor alternatives like tempo sleds or circuits. The Role of Giant Sets in Strength Training – [9:35] Will uses giant sets to create training flexibility. These allow athletes to autoregulate volume, manage energy, and work at their own pace without strict rep schemes. What to try: Build sessions around circuits of 3–4 movements: main lift, jump, core, mobility. Set time limits (e.g., 20 minutes) instead of strict sets/reps. Let athletes self-select volume based on daily readiness. Building Competition and Problem-Solving into Small Group Training – [15:11] Will's small group setups naturally encourage problem-solving, teamwork, and friendly competition—all without over-coaching. What to try: Create circuits or mini-competitions that require collaboration. Encourage athletes to solve challenges together (e.g., team med ball throws for max reps). Keep coaching cues minimal—let athletes figure things out. Time-Based Plyometrics for Better Autoregulation – [18:05] Will prefers time-based plyo sets to help athletes naturally regulate their own volume and quality of output as they warm up and fatigue. What to try: Run 30-60 second blocks for depth jumps or hops instead of fixed reps. Encourage gradual build-up in intensity within each b...
