Hybrid Sport Media

What does it actually take to build the fastest-growing sport on the planet?
In this episode of Hybrid Sport Media, we’re joined by someone operating at the very centre of the sport....HYROX Regional Director, HYROX365 APAC Operations Manager and Elite 15 Head Judge - Gee Robson.
Gee talks us through the day-to-day reality of scaling HYROX across the APAC region, how the sport is shifting fitness culture for women, and why HYROX is creating massive leadership and coaching opportunities across the industry, especially for females.
We also discuss the world of Elite 15 judging, where Gee breaks down what it takes to do the job under immense pressure, how she drowns out the noise to make split-second calls on world-class athletes and where the sport is heading over the next decade.

WE'RE BACK! The unintentional break is over and now we're back with even bigger and better episodes than before.
In this episode, we sit down with our favourite HYROX Elite 15 athlete - JK aka James Kelly (or Jimmy Jam) - to talk about what really goes through the minds of the elite and how he handles setbacks. James talks about the myth of the "flawless" elite performance and breaks down the brutal reality of racing at the highest level.
From blowing up early in the race to dealing with pre-race niggles and training anxiety, James shares his practical, no-nonsense mental tools that any hybrid athlete can use on race day and in life.

Tom Rodgers is one of the fastest HYROX athletes in not only Australia, but globally. After cementing his spot in the Elite 15 with a win at the Barcelona LCQ in 2025, and a massive 6th-place finish at the Chicago HYROX World Championships, he looked unstoppable. Then, the injuries happened...
In this episode of Hybrid Sport Media, Tom takes us behind the scenes of a devastating 12-month period. He breaks down the timeline of his dual setbacks: first being diagnosed with osteitis pubis after racing in Perth, followed by a sacral stress fracture just as he was preparing for his comeback at the APAC Regional.
Tom opens up about the frustration of back-to-back injuries, the brutal mental health challenges of losing the sport you love and how nutrition has played a major role in his recovery.
Tom shares the exact roadmap he is using to get back to the start line. If you are an athlete dealing with an injury, a setback, or just want to know what it truly takes to have the mindset of an Elite 15 contender...this episode is a masterclass in resilience from Tom Rodger!

In this episode, we're joined by one of the youngest, brightest and most resilient stars in HYROX racing - Elite 15 athlete Charlie Botterill.
Fresh off a massive breakthrough HYROX season, Charlie takes us behind the scenes of his Elite 15 rise, from going full-time in the sport to locking in an incredible 3rd place at the Melbourne Major and 4th place at the Stockholm World Championships.
But a breakout season isn't without its hurdles...
Charlie opens up about the tough mental tests in Phoenix and Warsaw and addresses the "elephant in the room" from Stockholm - the infamous wall ball camera debacle. Tune in to hear how he handled the wall ball moment, his take on the HYROX appeal and the ultimate lessons in resilience that proved he undeniably belongs at the very top of the sport.
We also dive into his doubles success with Ollie, that grueling 3rd-place relay finish,and what the future holds for Charlie's upcoming season.

Chris Bayens, founder of The Bayens Method, has built one of the fastest-growing coaching businesses in hybrid sport, working with everyone from first-time HYROX athletes through to Elite 15 competitors. In this episode, we dive into the coaching philosophies that have helped athletes perform at the highest level and explore why data is becoming one of the biggest performance advantages in fitness racing.
We unpack the role of HRV, resting heart rate, pacing and recovery metrics, discussing how Chris uses data to make smarter training decisions without losing the human element of coaching. Whether you're wondering if your low HRV means you should skip a session or you're trying to understand what metrics actually matter, this episode is packed with practical insights.
We also recap the latest HYROX Sydney results and what they mean for the Elite 15 points system before looking ahead to the future of HYROX, coaching and hybrid sport.
