Why We Signed Up for Hyrox (And What It Gave Back)
Eight kilometres of running. Eight stations in between: sled push, sled pull, burpee broad jumps, rowing, wall balls and more.
On paper, it's a fitness race. Ask anyone who has crossed the finish line and they'll tell you it was about something else entirely.
This month, two Prime Midlife friends share what really happened when they said yes to Hyrox!
Jim, in his 50s, raced solo in Bangkok in August and has already signed up for two more, in Hong Kong and Bangkok in early 2027.
Ieva, in her 40s, did her first race in doubles with her husband and goes solo in November. They'll share their real stories: why they started, the moment they wanted to stop, and what it changed far beyond the gym.
You don't need to be a runner. You don't need to love training. You just need to be curious about what your body is still capable of, and what it might teach you about the rest of your life. Come and hear them out. You may change your mind about what your body can do, at any age.
