If you're going to come at the “king of the online sports nutrition market,” you better not miss! THG (aka the company formerly known as The Hut Group) recently updated the public markets by releasing its 2025 Q1 trading statement. I'll be utilizing that financial information, along with notes I took listening to the earnings conference call, and any relevant publicly disclosed information to obviously update you on the recent performance of THG Nutrition division that includes the world's largest online sports nutrition brand MyProtein, but also utilize everything to provide insights surrounding the global supplement markets. For those unaware, after the THG Ingenuity demerger...THG would now be described as a global, cash generative, health and wellness consumer brands group. During the first quarter of 2025, divisional revenue for THG Nutrition was approximately $196 million, which was basically flat YoY. And while those aren't necessarily great results…THG leadership noted that the segment saw month-on-month sales improvement throughout the quarter. Moreover, momentum was said to be demonstrated in categories outside of the core protein range, especially in activewear, vitamins, bars, and snacks. But I'll dive into several strategic decisions impacting MyProtein including: its global digital sales channel strategy, retail partnerships in physical retail, global "in real life" community events (i.e. HYROX and MyProtein Move Club) and let's just say A LOT is riding on the success of the MyProtein global rebrand. But basically 18 months after the start of its initial staggered market rollout, the transitionary impacts from the rebrand are now behind Myprotein. THG leadership reaffirmed that customer feedback continues to be promising, with unaided brand recognition for MyProtein now at its highest level to date. More importantly though…THG Nutrition leadership needs to pay close attention to key commercial metrics over the next year because to continue moving upstream in positioning (and unlocking sales channel diversification opportunities within the U.S. market) it needs to ensure this rebranding decision is well received by and generates brand affinity with those less price-sensitive customers. Interestingly, THG leadership noted that MyVitamins, which makes up around 9% of the total THG Nutrition online revenue, delivered record quarterly growth. But what's maybe most intriguing is how different the customer demographics of MyVitamins are compared to MyProtein…and its possible synergistic value with the other THG branded products segment THG Beauty. Finally, about a week prior to this earnings release, the board of directors at THG rejected an unsolicited proposal to acquire Myprotein. According to reports, THG turned down the (upwards of $800 million) offer from Selkirk, an investment vehicle, saying it “fundamentally undervalued” the MyProtein business. Additionally, the deal structure carried significant execution complexity and risks...but maybe the most interesting element was that Selkirk is run by a former THG board member and backed by Kelso Group, an activist investor in THG.

Whether dumping Tapatio into its whey protein or getting the most famous British girl group to become advisors is the ultimate answer…THG Nutrition must do something to “spice up” its strategy! THG (aka the company formerly known as The Hut Group) recently updated the public markets by releasing its 2024 Q4 interim trading statement. I'll be utilizing that financial information, along with notes I took listening to the earnings conference call, and any relevant publicly disclosed information to obviously update you on the recent performance of THG Nutrition division that includes the world's largest online sports nutrition brand MyProtein, but also utilize everything to provide insights surrounding the global supplement markets. For those unaware, after the THG Ingenuity demerger...THG would now be described as a global, cash generative, health and wellness consumer brands group. During the fourth quarter of 2024, divisional revenue for THG Nutrition was approximately $181 million, which was down 9.5% YoY. If we look at entire full-year of 2024, THG Nutrition didn't perform much better…generating revenue of approximately $722 million, which was down 8.7% YoY. So, what's up with these poor growth rates when the overall global supplement market continues to grow? I'll dive into several strategic decisions impacting MyProtein including: its global digital sales channel strategy and retail partnerships in physical retail, and let's just say A LOT is riding on the success of the MyProtein global rebrand. Early results of the biggest rebrand in the 20-year history of MyProtein is said to be promising with brand awareness, consideration, and perception all demonstrating YoY improvements. More importantly though…THG Nutrition leadership needs to pay close attention to key commercial metrics over the next year because to continue moving upstream in positioning (and unlocking sales channel diversification opportunities within the American market) it needs to ensure this rebranding decision is well received by and generates brand affinity with those less price-sensitive customers. But the final portion of my latest first principles thinking content will analyze how the THG Ingenuity demerger will directly (and potentially indirectly) impact THG Nutrition. With the projected significantly improved free cashflow profile, providing MyProtein with expansive strategic optionality...I'm examine likely areas of benefit like increased brand marketing investments and offsetting whey protein commodity market price inflation that has been happening over the last year.

It was a great chat with a couple of fantastic athletes, and knowledgeable coaches, with inspiring stories, and I think you'll really enjoy it.

I'm Greg, and in this episode, I'm excited to bring you my chat with HYROX athlete, Charlie Hendrie (@commando_charlie). Also known as Commando Charlie, this week's guest has quite the story. We talk about his time in the marines, to being a bodyguard for Elton John, to being arrested for a £1m drug deal, and then to HYROX – where has just won his age group in the Pro division in Manchester.

She shares tonnes of great tips on improving your performance in HYROX, both through training and some excellent tips on mental resilience. It was a great chat with a legend of the sport!

THG Nutrition is currently on a five quarter “losing streak,” but will an upcoming corporate restructuring move change its outlook? THG (aka the company formerly known as The Hut Group) recently updated the public markets by releasing its 2024 Q3 trading statement. I'll be utilizing that financial information, along with notes I took listening to the earnings conference call, and any relevant publicly disclosed information to obviously update you on the recent performance of THG Nutrition division that includes the world's largest online sports nutrition brand MyProtein, but also utilize everything to provide insights surrounding the global supplement markets. For those unaware, THG is self-described as “a vertically integrated, digital-first consumer brands group, retailing its own brands in beauty and nutrition, plus third-party brands, via its complete digital commerce solution, Ingenuity, to an online and global customer base.” During the third quarter of 2024, divisional revenue for THG Nutrition was approximately $174 million, which was down 10.5% YoY. So, what's up with these poor growth rates when the overall global supplement market continues to grow? I'll dive into several strategic decisions impacting MyProtein including: its global digital sales channel strategy and retail partnerships in physical retail, and let's just say A LOT is riding on the success of the MyProtein global rebrand. Early results of the biggest rebrand in the 20-year history of MyProtein is said to be promising with brand awareness, consideration, and perception all demonstrating YoY improvements. More importantly though…THG Nutrition leadership needs to pay close attention to key commercial metrics over the next year because to continue moving upstream in positioning (and unlocking sales channel diversification opportunities within the American market) it needs to ensure this rebranding decision is well received by and generates brand affinity with those less price-sensitive customers. But in the final part of my latest first principles thinking content, I'll breakdown why THG Ingenuity will demerge into a standalone independent private entity. And I'm less concerned about analyzing the recent performance of THG Ingenuity, its expected enterprise value, or how it's getting funded…instead I'm more interested in how this demerger will directly (and potentially indirectly) impact THG Nutrition. And with THG Ingenuity essentially being the master switch that “powers” THG Nutrition and THG Beauty...neither can survive without the other entity. So, something like a ten-year contract was put into place that reportedly started in 2022. Regardless, the demerger will simplify the organization.

In this week's episode of the Rox Lyfe podcast I got to speak with Rylan Schadegg (@ryalnschadegg). Rylan recently qualified for the Elite race at the HYROX World Championships after an incredible 3rd place finish at the Elite 15 Major in Amsterdam. What makes his performance even more remarkable is that he's been battling serious health challenges over the past year—and heading into Amsterdam, he thought it might be his last race for a while. In this candid conversation, Rylan opens up about everything he's faced since we last spoke—how he's navigated the physical, mental, and spiritual aspects of recovery and competition. This was an honest and inspiring chat with a phenomenal athlete who, if all goes well, is a major contender for this season's HYROX World Championship.

In this week's episode of the Rox Lyfe podcast I get to speak with Nick Bare (@nickbarefitness). Nick is an incredible athlete, and entrepreneur who has taken on a variety of fitness challenges and built a huge social following in the process. Weighing in at 90kg, he has completed a sub 2:40 marathon, taken on many Ultras, competed in body building shows, and now he has turned his attention to HYROX. Set to compete in Dallas in November 2024, there's a lot of buzz in the fitness community around what can this man do. We talk about his training, mindset, and what it's like to dive into HYROX for the first time. It was great chat, with a seriously impressive athlete - I think you'll really enjoy it!

In this episode of the Rox Lyfe podcast I chat with Lauren Smith (@ls_sports). You'll likely know Lauren from the HYROX live streams where she is part of the team presenting on the Elite 15 races at the Majors and HYROX World Championships. She also regularly presents on many other sports including CrossFit, rugby, rowing, cycling and much more. In this chat, Lauren tells us how about her journey in the world of sports presenting, how she copes with pressure, she shares some great tips for any aspiring content creators and then we look to the HYROX season ahead – explaining the Elite 15 race structure and discuss who we think some of the favourites in the Elite 15 field are for the 24/25 season!

In this week's episode of the Rox Lyfe podcast I get to chat with Paul Rimmer (athlete_lab_uk). Paul is an expert in testing athletes to help them find their true performance capabilities. I went to see him recently for lactate threshold testing and I thought it would be useful to get him on the podcast to talk about the work he does with athletes. We cover different ways to determine your lactate threshold pace, how this testing can influence your HYROX training, the steps you can be taking to improve your threshold running pace, and lots more. It was a great chat with loads of good information to help improve your HYROX performance.

In this episode of the Rox Lyfe podcast I chat with Clare Rafferty. Clare wears many hats in the world of HYROX. She is an athlete, a coach, an ambassador, a race director and part of the Global Master team!

It's my belief that business strategy is at its highest impact when you also consider timing and cadence of decisions. So, what major strategic decision left me questioning if THG leadership is aligned with that principle? THG (aka the company formerly known as The Hut Group) recently updated the public markets by releasing its 2024 H1 trading statement. I'll be utilizing that financial information, along with notes I took listening to the earnings conference call, and any relevant publicly disclosed information to obviously update you on the recent performance of THG Nutrition division that includes the world's largest online sports nutrition brand MyProtein, but also utilize everything to provide insights surrounding the global supplement markets. For those unaware, THG is self-described as “a vertically integrated, digital-first consumer brands group, retailing its own brands in beauty and nutrition, plus third-party brands, via its complete digital commerce solution, Ingenuity, to an online and global customer base.” During the first half of 2024, divisional revenue for THG Nutrition was approximately $399 million, which was down 8.5% YoY. So, what's up with these poor growth rates when the overall global supplement market continues to grow? I'll dive into several things going on here at MyProtein including: its global digital sales channel strategy and retail partnerships in physical retail, integration of supply side acquisitions, the effect the previous pricing strategy had on the sports nutrition brand's customer file, and let's just say A LOT is riding on the success of the MyProtein global rebrand. Early results of the biggest rebrand in the 20-year history of MyProtein is said to be promising with brand awareness, consideration, and perception all demonstrating YoY improvements. More importantly though…THG Nutrition leadership needs to pay close attention to key commercial metrics over the next year because to continue moving upstream in positioning (and unlocking sales channel diversification opportunities within the American market) it needs to ensure this rebranding decision is well received by and generates brand affinity with those less price-sensitive customers. Additionally, I've provided a few recent marketplace actions made by MyProtein (i.e. HYROX partnership and line extension product strategy) that could be associated with unlocking future winning chess moves. Finally, I questioned why THG Nutrition ramped up net profitability to record levels last year (when they could have aggressively pulled acquisition levers again), but assumed it was mostly to pad financial metrics for a segment spin-off and IPO. With that looking less likely now because of the THG Ingenuity demerger…it seems like THG was intentionally creating a larger financial buffer (from the protein input cost deflation) for upcoming downside risks of the rebrand rollout process that was a bit mismanaged. While I might be seeing it wrong, it just feels like they've been chasing a few earlier strategic mistakes and now at the stage where they hope everything rebounds in the back-half of 2024 against weaker comparatives.

In this episode of the Rox Lyfe podcast, HYROX co-founder Mo Fuerste is back to explain everything you need to know about the all-new HYROX Pro Doubles Elite 15 competition, as well as discuss the new rule changes for this season, the growth of the sport, and the qualifying process for the HYROX World Championships! It's a great, informative chat about all the changes coming up in this great sport!

In this week's episode of the Rox Lyfe podcast I get to speak with Lukas Storath (@lukefithyrox). Lukas is a bit of a HYROX legend. He was the first man to break 60mins in the Pro division, and was the winner of the first ever HYROX World Championship (in Oberhausen). But at the age of 44 he continues to perform at the highest level in the sport. He was the winner of last season's Last Chance Qualifier in Anaheim, he is the 40-44 age group Pro world record holder and is part of the mixed relay world record holding team. In this chat we talk about his training, the changes he's made to his training over his time in the sport, how he still manages to compete at the highest level despite a busy job and being a dad, his mindset, and much more. It was great to be able to chat with him and I think there's loads you can take away from it.

In this episode of the Rox Lyfe podcast, we get to speak with Paul Gillingham. Paul is one of the most experienced HYROX athletes in the world. At the time of writing he's completed 39 races, in 12 countries, and has competed at the last 3 World Championships. He is one of the top performing athletes in his age group, and is part of the over 40 age group Mixed Relay World Record team. He has also been a personal trainer for 18 years and is the coach who works with our clients at Rox Lyfe, as well as being the person who wrote our 12 week training plan. He has helped literally hundreds and hundreds of athletes from Elite level to complete beginners drastically improve their performance and health, and he has so much wisdom and experience to share. It was great to be able to get him back on the show - I loved chatting with him and I think you'll really enjoy it. You can follow Paul on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/paulgillingham_/

In this week's episode of the Rox Lyfe podcast I get to speak with Marc Dean (@marcdean_). Marc won the Men's Doubles at the 2024 HYROX World Championships in Nice, along with Jake Dearden (who has also recently been on the show), against some incredibly strong competition, winning in a time of 52:34. He is a seriously impressive athlete with his eyes set on the Elite 15 – despite having 4 children to look after, and working full time. In this chat we talk about his experience winning the Doubles in Nice, tips he has for people racing doubles, how he manages to train around everything else he has going on in his life, his running times, what he's focused on in training and much more. I really enjoyed chatting to Marc and think you'll enjoy listening to it!
