I think that Hyrox is a great test of fitness, the same way that I think a triathlon is. What I don’t agree with is that a workout that never changes can be considered the future of fitness.

To me it’s like saying “is Murph is the future of fitness?” Yes, if a person trained for Murph year round they’d be in great shape, but there’s no variance, so that’s all they’d be good at.

My answer is no, not the future of fitness, but a still a great way to get fit.
