    HYROX Points System Explained with Kris Rugloski and Fahsy Fit

    Topics HYROX's new Elite 15 points system and why it replaces time-based qualification How points are earned, counted, and retroactively applied Why course variance made the old system unsustainable Strength of field and how tiebreakers will work What this means for Elite Singles and Elite Doubles athletes Increased racing demands and injury risk concerns North America vs Europe race access imbalance Summary Cheryl and Matt sit down with Kris Rugloski, the 2022 HYROX World Champion, to break down HYROX's newly announced Elite 15 points system. The new framework shifts qualification away from raw finishing times and toward race placement, consistency, and points earned across multiple events, with results retroactively counting back to last season. They discuss why the change was necessary, how strength of field and tiebreakers factor in, and what this means for athletes trying to qualify in regions with fewer races. Later in the episode, Kat Fahsbender shares her perspective on how the new system could reshape elite racing, scheduling, and long-term sustainability for athletes. This episode breaks down what matters, what's still unclear, and why this change represents one of the most significant competitive shifts HYROX has made to date.

    Should HYROX Say No More + KOTSK Episode 1 Review

    Topics  Garage gym setups and why home gyms win for hybrid athlete The HYROX Cruise pricing, capacity, and who it is really for bunq banking and whether race day perks are worth switching banks Surf dating and why fitness dating apps struggle to land Gambling partnerships and the risks for a growing sport OnlyFans sponsorship backlash and what the reaction revealed Audience fatigue, teaser culture, and brand trust When a fast growing brand should say no to partners Matt, Cheryl, and Dave dig into the HYROX Cruise rollout, bunq banking partnership, Surf dating app, and gambling sponsorships, questioning who these partnerships are actually for and whether they add value for athletes or simply create noise. The conversation expands into sponsorship fatigue, teaser culture, and the growing tension between growth and trust. The episode closes with a candid discussion about the backlash surrounding an OnlyFans sponsored HYROX athlete, how quickly audiences jump to moral judgments, and what it says about the state of the community. The core question remains whether HYROX is building a meaningful ecosystem or stretching the brand too far. Then Matt is joined by Bryan from House Darling to discuss the first episode of A Knight Of The Seven Kingdoms Guest Links: Ugly Dave | Cheryl Snow | Bryan Darling Listen on Apple or Spotify Support us through The Cup Of Coffee Follow Hybrid Fitness Media on IG

    Welcome To Lindyland

    Cole Lindbergh has lived a life that sounds improbable. Amusement park folk hero, This American Life subject, air guitar champion, game show contestant, musician, podcaster, and relentless starter of creative projects. In this conversation, Cole and Matt trace how curiosity, saying yes, and embracing weirdness led to opportunities that rarely arrived on schedule, but arrived nonetheless. They talk about early brushes with attention, missed reality TV moments, and the discipline of building a long body of work without obsessing over numbers. Cole breaks down air guitar culture, what it takes to win, and how becoming Slappy Nutz unlocked a new creative chapter. The episode also explores loss, disappointment, patience, and the strange emotional aftermath of being eliminated from a major game show, before closing with Lindy Land and the belief that if something feels interesting, it is worth doing, even if you do not yet know where it leads. • Cole Lindberg's path from amusement park ringleader to air guitar champion • The This American Life story and how sudden attention reshaped his life • Fame opportunity and why some doors close before the right ones open • Air guitar culture competition and winning the US Championship as Slappy Nutz • The reality of game shows 99 to Beat early elimination and emotional whiplash • Building a body of work versus chasing downloads • Creative identity starting things and letting projects end • Lindy Land property projects barn restoration and long term vision • Patience appreciation and trusting what comes next • Friendship shared history and following what genuinely interests you Guest Links:  Cole Lindbergh Listen on Apple or Spotify Support us through The Cup Of Coffee Follow Hybrid Fitness Media on IG

    Is HYROX Filling A Gap Crossfit Left Behind with John Wooley

    John Wooley returns to the show to unpack why fitness racing has taken off and why CrossFit never fully leaned into a format that was right in front of it. We talk about how HYROX filled a gap for everyday athletes who wanted measurable competition without complex gymnastics, why certain body types thrive in fitness racing, and why HYROX training has proven more sustainable for long term health and performance than traditional CrossFit cycles. The conversation also covers judging standards, pacing mistakes, the appeal of age group podiums, and how athletes actually get smarter race to race. We then zoom out to the bigger picture. The CrossFit sale, shrinking affiliate numbers, media missteps, and whether newer projects like World Fitness Project can survive in a crowded fitness economy. Less hype, more honesty, and a clear look at what is actually working right now in fitness racing.

    HYROX Elite 15 Kits, Doubles Chaos, and the HYROX Cruise

    Matt and Cheryl break down the latest HYROX developments, including the new Elite 15 plum and black kits, what that does for sponsors trying to match colors, and why HYROX giving athletes 24 hours to respond to certain emails feels aggressive in a global sport. They get into doubles roll downs and reshuffled pairings, why doubles is harder to follow than singles, and the latest curveball: the HYROX cruise, its heavy marketing push, and the fine print that appears to limit participation to EU and UK permanent residents. The conversation also moves through a spoiler-heavy Pluribus discussion, the "agreeable AI" problem, and an unexpectedly useful detour into relationships, trust, and the idea of deposits and withdrawals. Topics include: HYROX Elite 15 kits and broadcast clarity Sponsor kit matching, hex codes, and enforcement The 24-hour email window and why roll downs carry real risk Doubles roll downs, partner swaps, and narrative challenges HYROX cruise details and residency restrictions Pluribus spoilers and agreeable AI The trust bank and the 5 to 1 ratio Guest Links:  Ugly Dave | Cheryl Snow | Listen on Apple or Spotify Support us through The Cup Of Coffee Follow Hybrid Fitness Media on IG
