If you’ve been around me for more than five minutes, you know I don’t do things halfway. When I commit, I commit — and that’s exactly how I approached my first Hyrox. My partner Sarah told me she wanted to compete back in July, and without even knowing what Hyrox really was, I said yes. Because when my people want to level up, I’m right there with them.
So I trained. I studied. I got certified. I watched athletes at the event.
And what I saw — honestly — surprised me. I realized really quickly that the way most people train for Hyrox is… off.
Not “bad.”
Not “wrong.”
Just imbalanced.
And ultimately, not setting athletes up for their best performance. That’s when I knew I needed to build something different. Something smarter.
Something hybrid. Today, I’m excited to officially introduce my brand-new program:
A strength-first, science-backed training method that prepares you for race day — without burning you out before you get there.
If you’ve followed Hyrox athletes on social, you’ve probably seen the same type of workouts repeated over and over:
And look — doing the movements you’ll face in the race matters.
But doing ONLY those movements? Constantly? At full intensity?That’s where athletes get into trouble.
Hyrox is a strength-endurance race.
It’s not just endurance.
It’s not just conditioning.
It’s not just “how much pain can you tolerate.”
Yet most training programs treat it that way — as if repeating the race over and over will magically make you perform better.
But that’s not how the body works.
In fact, it’s the fastest way to:
And the kicker?
The more you hammer the same movement patterns, the less efficient and powerful you become at them.
This is exactly why I wanted to take a different approach.
The Hybrid Hyrox Strength System™ is built on the belief that strong, durable athletes race better.
They move better.
They fatigue slower.
They recover faster.
They perform under pressure.
When you build true strength first, and THEN add strategic conditioning on top, everything gets easier:
✔ Sleds feel lighter
✔ Runs feel smoother
✔ Wall balls feel more stable
✔ Heart rate stays controlled
✔ Technique stays intact
✔ Fatigue hits later
✔ Confidence skyrockets
Strength is your foundation — and your competitive edge.
Here’s the science behind everything I saw and felt in training:
Yes, you need to practice Hyrox movements — but NOT all the time. Too much specificity actually causes maladaptation.
You only get stronger by gradually increasing load, reps, or intensity.
Hyrox-only circuits don’t do that — they just exhaust you.
If you hammer the same muscles with the same patterns, your body loses power, responsiveness, and efficiency.
Hyrox requires a blend of:
Think about it:
Wall balls → shoulders & knees
Sleds → quads, hips
Running → calves, hamstrings, hips
Lunges → knees, glutesIf you ONLY train these… you’re asking for tendonitis, tight hips, or a blown ankle.
Movement variety isn’t optional — it’s necessary.
This is where my program stands out.
The weekly structure looks like this:
Big lifts. Posterior-chain power. Balanced pushing and pulling.
This builds tissue capacity, improves running economy, and makes stations easier.
Lateral work, rotational core, single-leg strength, stability training.
This prevents the overuse injuries so many Hyrox athletes deal with.
Short, spicy finishers performed after strength — mimicking how you’ll hit stations tired on race day… without frying your body.
Zone 2 for your aerobic engine.
Controlled high-intensity bursts to improve speed and resilience.
Not every day.
Not every week.
Just strategically when your body is ready — so you’re peaking, not crashing.
I built this because:
Something that allowed athletes to train hard and show up on race day feeling strong, confident, and ready.That’s exactly what Tapp’d In: Hybrid Hyrox Strength System™ is designed to do. This isn’t just another “Hyrox simulation program.”
This is a hybrid performance system rooted in strength, science, and smart conditioning.
Honestly, I was a little nervous going into the competition with Sarah because our training style looked so different from what everyone else seemed to be doing. We weren't drowning ourselves in endless Hyrox circuits or beating our bodies into the ground every day. We were lifting. We were moving smart. We were prioritizing strength — even when it didn’t look “Hyrox enough” compared to what I saw online. And here’s the wild part: we left the race feeling like we had more in the tank. We weren't sore the next day. We were ready to do more. That’s the power of keeping strength at the center of your Hyrox prep. It builds durability, protects your joints, and gives you a reserve that most athletes never tap into because they’ve burned through it in training.
Whether you're:
This program was made for you.
I’ll guide you step-by-step through a true hybrid progression that supports your joints, your strength, your performance, and your longevity — not just your ego on “burnout days.”
Tapp’d In: Hybrid Hyrox Strength System™ is officially here.
If you want details, early access, or to be added to the launch list, just reach out — or drop “HYROX” in the comments.
Race day is coming.
Let’s make sure you’re strong enough to crush it.
