Coaches
Meg Jacoby and Rich Ryan

Hyrox takes strength, endurance, and speed.

The concept is simple, but programming for high-level performance has proven complicated. Most athletes are repeatedly humbled.

**But Meg Jacoby is not like most athletes. **

Meg was familiar with the concept of Hybrid Racing before there was no name or competition.

So when she stepped to the start line, she had the fitness from over a decade of hard work.

Meg also knows how to develop rock-hard mental toughness through program design.

Through her training, Meg learned how to develop incredible fitness with an unbreakable spirit.

All she needed was some specific direction and sharpening.

it was a perfect match when Meg linked up with DEKAFIT Champion Hyrox Elite Rich Ryan.

The two developed a program that helped Meg reach some of the highest performances Hyrox has ever seen.

As a coach, Rich has a proven record of developing effective programs that allow athletes to compete at the highest level.

This program is tested and proven to work.

But it's not for everyone.

This program is hard, progressive, and built for athletes who want to work hard and perform well.

FAQs
How many hours a week would you recommend I dedicated to this program?
At minimum you will need 14 hours per week. 15+ hours per week wold be more comfortable, but less is doable.
What if I don't have some equipment.
If are not willing to get access to most Hyrox equipment then this program is not for you. This is for dedicated athletes who are willing to make it happen. Exceptions and movement substitutes can obviously be made for certain areas, but there is a point where you should do the work as written.
How fast should I be at Hyrox for this program?
There is no specific time an athlete should accomplish before coming to this program, but you should have a considerable amount of training experience. Recommended: roughly 5-6 years of training experience as a fitness athlete or competitive team athlete. This is not be good for a beginner.
What makes this "Advanced" compared to other Meg Jacoby programs?
Advanced training is much more demanding. You will have multiple workouts most days of the week. This program is for the dedicated who will prioritize training.
