Rich Ryan

I'm Rich Ryan, an elite athlete, hybrid racing coach, podcast host, and a nerd for fitness and endurance performance.

When I first saw Hyrox, I thought, "This is what I have been waiting for my entire athlete career." I thought I'd be an instant success.

I was wrong.

My first few attempts were humbling.

I went to the lab and got to work, I applied the principles, I have learned in my 10+ years as an endurance coach, CrossFit coach, and personal trainer.

I got stronger, better at the movements, and stayed fast. I added 40 lbs to my squat and deadlift and dropped 7 minutes from my time in just over 6 months, going from 1:07:22 to 1:00:35 and a 7th place finish at the Elite World Championships in Las Vegas.

As a result, I learned what work moves the needle and what is a waste of time. Now I've applied these methods to each workout in this group.

The last thing you should know is this group of athletes is not f#cking around.

Everyone in this group is willing to see if they have what it takes.

This program is HARD and it works.
