From first time challenger to HYROX finalist

See how Dan rediscovered purpose through HYROX — and now uses it to inspire his clients.

7-day cooling period

Reigniting the spark

For Dan, training had lost its spark. As a PT, he coached structure, discipline, and progress for his clients-but for himself, workouts had become routine, lacking purpose. Mentally and physically, he was at his unhealthiest in years.

Then he found HYROX.

The challenge he needed

Within 12 months, Dan threw himself fully into the sport, completing nine races. His first time? 1 hour 45. Since then, he’s pushed harder, cutting it down to 1 hour 15, testing himself across every open division, and preparing for his first Pro category solo race this season.

Everyone’s got big smiles. It’s very inclusive — people smiling — and if you don’t have that welcoming atmosphere, it affects your training. My goal is constantly evolving, and the Fitness First community helps me see the next step.

Real progress

But for Dan, the real wins aren’t just his. Every doubles and relay race he’s entered has been alongside his clients, sharing the sweat, the grind, and the finish line. HYROX gave him back control, and now he uses it to inspire and empower others to do the same.

From lost focus to Pro competitor, Dan’s story proves that progress is always possible—especially when shared.

What Dan found here:

A welcoming, inclusive community
HYROX-ready kit and a clear challenge
Accountability and constant progression

At Fitness First, we believe progress isn't linear, results don't come from quick fixes, it's about showing up, again and again. It's not about perfection, it's about progress. Every rep, every class, every choice adds up to real change. Whether you're taking your first step or your next leap, progress is waiting. Because when you choose progress, you don't just change your body - you change what you believe is possible.
