Dominique & Bre, Athlete Gym - Building a community & training in Dubai
Athlete is a Hyrox gym based in Dubai run by Michael Logue, an incredible athlete himself. We were lucky enough to talk to his fiancee Dominique and one of the coaches at the gym, Bre, to find out a little more about the Hyrox community in the Middle East. Dom & Bre recently competed in Sharjah, together in the relay and separately in their own races - a solo for Dom and a mixed doubles for Bre. It was great to get their insight into Hyrox as a sport and how it has taken off in the Middle East. Athlete as a gym has a big focus on community, we dicuss how training with like minded people can really elevate your performance, how inclusive Hyrox is and that EVERYONE is an ‘athlete’. This episode is down to earth, relatable and a great representation of what Hyrox is all about.
