After 16 years in CrossFit, here’s my honest perspective on HYROX—what it is, who it’s for, and how it fits into the bigger picture of fitness. This isn’t about choosing one over the other. It’s about creating more opportunities for people to move, grow, and challenge themselves.

When it comes to the CrossFit Open, everyone focuses on the workout—but how you fuel can make just as big of a difference. Most Open workouts are short and high-intensity, which means your body needs quick, usable energy. Showing up under-fueled can lead to an early crash, while overeating can leave you feeling sluggish.

Stick to what you know works. Eat normal meals, have a simple carb-focused snack with a little protein 1–2 hours before the workout, and consider a small carb boost closer to start time. No need to try anything new—just give your body the fuel it needs to perform.

Motivation gets you started—but discipline keeps you going. We’ve all felt that spark after a big PR or a new pair of training shoes, but that feeling doesn’t last forever. The truth? Long-term progress doesn’t come from chasing motivation—it comes from showing up, even when you don’t feel like it. In this post, Coach Nicole breaks down why discipline always wins, and how building consistent habits is the real key to lasting results in and out of the gym.
