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.
