I enjoyed sitting down with Jack & Myles to chat everything Hyrox, CrossFit Foss Way and Midland Fitness Games.This month Myles and Jack are hosting the 9th Midland Fitness Games, so we find out the history of their competition, the difficulties behind the scenes and what we should expect to see at the same sex fours comp on Sunday 12th September.If you competing you’re definitely in the right place as we get some insights in to workouts, new equipment and 1 naughty toes-to-bar buy in! Enjoy.

In the episode I sat down with Dan Hespe the founder of OnYa app & merch store. Over the next hour we find out what inspired Dan to build a complete merch store solution, helping hundreds of functional fitness gyms around the UK.If you own, coach or simply train at a functional fitness gym, this conversation has to be one you listen to! New gym merch coming to a CrossFit gym near you.

Being in the supplement space I was really interested tohear about the process behind launching a pre workout energy drink brand.Ryan Weekley (who you may have seen on Love Island) &Ben Stevens both worked in the military together. After deciding to leave the military at the exactly the same time to pursue a business idea they are both passionate about was really inspiring. They’ve created a great product (peach & and raspberry is my favourite flavour) & I’m really looking forward to seeing how the brand grows over the next few years. Enjoy this episode!

Rumour has it, Sam West is one of the fastest people around the Nuclear Fit course, so I had to go down to Essex and get some tips ahead of my first race.With a background in semi pro football, personal training & now Hyrox coaching, Sam has had a very active lifestyle. Fitness has been a consistent part of his life & I really enjoyed this conversation discussing his recent progress in the fitness racing scene.

Sam Bilbie is the reining & defending HYROX Age GroupWorld Champion & Hyrox World record holder.In this episode I met Sam down at the Nuclear Fit HQahead of the Nuclear Fit season to discuss her journey in to fitness racing & her plans for Chicago Hyrox World Champs. In light of my agreeing to race in Nuclear Fit in July I thought I’d ask a world champion fitness racer for her top tips. If you are doing a Hyrox or Nuclear Fit race this year then I hope you enjoy this one!
