How our BoxPlus classes help you break through training plateaus.
How our BoxPlus classes help you break through training plateaus.
I have been talking a lot about the goal of the challenge been establishing good habits before the Christmas Crazy-season and really just gettting back on track post winter 'lock-down'...but talking to people throughout the weigh-ins, well - the reality is people are doing the challenge because they want to lose weight. Which is cool of course - but because so many people are targeting that outcome I thought I would put together this quick little blog post covering off some key 'actions' to take if weight loss is your goal!
This Sunday, East Perth plays in our second consecutive WAFL Grand Final. Now, I know some of you already know that I work with the footy club — but a lot of people probably don’t. Most days, I leave the gym in the afternoon and head straight to training, team meetings, or match reviews. In fact, coaching at this level is a solid 20-hour per week commitment — and that’s on top of running the gym.
In 2024, I entered HYROX solo with exactly zero preparation. It went about as well as you’d expect. By the fourth run I knew I was in deep trouble, and unfortunately I was right. To be fair, I’d signed up knowing full well it clashed with the footy finals. I was 99.99% sure I wouldn’t even get to the start line. But when the season turned out better than expected and we had HYROX weekend off…well, suddenly I was in. Sadly, “no prep” wasn’t exactly the smartest race plan, and the event went exactly the way “no prep” events usually do.
This weekend, a big crew from Round 1 will be lining up at HYROX Perth — and we couldn’t be prouder of the work they’ve put in over the past few months. But while race day is one highlight, it’s not the end of the journey. HYROX at Round 1 has always been about more than a single event — it’s about building long-term fitness, balancing new ideas with our Round 1 traditions, and making sure there’s a pathway forward for everyone.
