    The App That’s About to Change Hyrox Forever | MindSets Podcast | Episode 99

    How ROXFIT Built a HYROX App with 500,000+ Users | Joey Allott & Ben Wilson This week, Angus is joined by ROXFIT founders Joey Allott and Ben Wilson to uncover how a single text message became one of the world’s fastest-growing HYROX and hybrid-fitness apps reaching more than half a million users in under two years. Before meeting the boys, we break down another wild week in sport, covering the biggest stories from tennis, the European Athletics Championships and football. We also discuss Mark Dowdle’s extraordinary Last Soul Backyard Ultra victory after running for almost four days. Then we dive into the ROXFIT story: the original problem Ben and Joey wanted to solve, how they transformed an early idea into a real product and what it took to grow the platform at such incredible speed. We also get an exclusive look at the exciting next chapter: ROXFIT Ultra. This new premium offering will give hybrid athletes deeper insights into their training and race data, allowing users to compete against themselves and the wider ROXFIT community, analyse their performances and receive intelligent race predictions, pacing targets and actionable performance insights. After this week’s Grind My Gears, Joey and Ben face our HYROX challenge. How well do the founders of ROXFIT actually know the HYROX rules—and can they remember their own race performances? If you’re interested in HYROX training, race-day pacing, performance analytics, fitness technology, startup growth or the future of hybrid racing, this episode is for you. 🎙 Follow Joey, Ben and ROXFIT ROXFIT website and ROXFIT Ultra:https://roxfit.app/ Download ROXFIT on the Apple App Store:https://apps.apple.com/app/roxfit/id6476465403 Download ROXFIT on Google Play:https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=app.roxfit.app ROXFIT Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/roxfit.app/ 🎙 Follow and Support MindSets Listen elsewhere:https://linktr.ee/mindsets_podcast MindSets Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/mindsets_podcast MindSets YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@mindsets_podcast MindSets Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/5SEejjwgNTIAsJO7c56T0b MindSets Apple Podcasts:https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-mindsets-podcast/id1727225675 Angus:https://www.instagram.com/anguscook TikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@mindsets_podcast Hosted by Angus Cook. 👕 Official Partners Hystyle (@hystyleclo)Hysoxs (@hysoxs)PodiumChasr (@podiumchasr) Get 15% off your order using code: MINDSET15 SEO Keywords: ROXFIT, ROXFIT App, ROXFIT Ultra, Joey Allott, Ben Wilson, HYROX app, HYROX training app, HYROX race tracker, HYROX race predictions, HYROX performance analysis, HYROX pacing, HYROX rules, hybrid fitness, hybrid racing, fitness technology, sports startup, workout tracking, Garmin HYROX, Apple Watch HYROX, Mark Dowdle, Last Soul Ultra, backyard ultra, European Athletics Championships, sports news, MindSets Podcast. #ROXFIT #ROXFITUltra #HYROX #HYROXTraining #HybridFitness #HybridAthlete #FitnessTechnology #SportsTech #RaceDay #RacePacing #PerformanceAnalysis #WorkoutTracking #GarminFitness #AppleWatchFitness #BackyardUltra #MarkDowdle #EuropeanAthletics #SportsNews #MindSetsPodcast

    The Protein Problem and Why You Fall For it | MindSets Podcast | Episode 98

    Welcome back to The MindSets Podcast! With Charles still away, Angus is joined by his partner Amy for an episode all about one of the most talked-about, and heavily marketed, parts of modern nutrition: Protein. We kick things off with the biggest sports stories of the week, including: LeBron James going to play for the Philadelphia 76ers. UK Sport pulling funding from British snowsports. A roundup of the Commonwealth Games. Nike releasing a new hybrid training and HYROX shoe. Plus more news from across the sporting world. Then we get into the main topic: How much protein do you actually need—and are high-protein products worth your money? We break down how the body uses protein, why exercise is essential for building muscle and what happens when you consume more protein than your body needs. We also discuss: UK protein recommendations versus the needs of performance athletes. How protein supports muscle growth and recovery. Whether your body can use more than 30g of protein in one meal. Why the post-workout “anabolic window” is largely exaggerated. The benefits of spreading protein intake throughout the day. How protein can support fullness, fat loss and muscle retention. Protein’s effect on hunger hormones and GLP-1. Whether protein could become the next major weight-loss marketing trend. The difference between “source of protein” and “high protein” claims. How collagen and different protein sources affect the headline number. The environmental impact of producing protein. Why protein powder has become so expensive. Angus also introduces his simple Protein 10 Rule for assessing whether a protein product offers good nutritional value: Multiply the protein by 10 for the calorie limit.Divide the protein by 10 for the maximum price in pounds. For example, a product containing 20g of protein should ideally contain no more than 200 calories and cost no more than £2. It isn’t a perfect nutritional formula, but it provides a quick way to compare protein bars, yoghurts, cereals, snacks and ready meals without being distracted by the marketing on the packaging. We also share our favourite protein snacks before another edition of Grinds My Gears, featuring online deals appearing immediately after you have already ordered, the relentless UK heat, the confusing name “full-fat Coke” and gym TVs taking over the speakers when everyone would rather hear music. To finish the episode, Amy takes on a blind taste test with a difference. She tries a selection of meals and snacks and has to decide whether each one is a specially marketed protein product or the normal version. Expect some surprising comparisons, questionable flavours and very honest ratings. Whether you’re trying to build muscle, lose weight, improve your sporting performance or simply stop wasting money on overpriced protein snacks, this episode will help you look beyond the headline protein number. 🎙️ Hosted by Angus Cook, with special guest Amy 🎧 Listen Everywhere:https://linktr.ee/mindsets_podcast 📸 Follow MindSets: MindSets Podcasthttps://www.instagram.com/mindsets_podcast/ Angus Cookhttps://www.instagram.com/anguscook/ Charles Ingellhttps://www.instagram.com/chucks_life_/ TikTokhttps://www.tiktok.com/@mindsets_podcast 📩 Business Enquiriesmindsetspod@gmail.com 🤝 Official Partners Hystyle Clothinghttps://www.hystyleclo.com Use code MINDSET15 for 15% OFF Chapters 00:00 – Angus & Amy Introduce the Episode01:35 – Sports News: LeBron, Snowsports, Commonwealth Games & Nike05:26 – Protein: How Much Do You Actually Need?38:40 – Grinds My Gears55:10 – Protein Food Blind Taste Test #MindSetsPodcast #Protein #HighProtein #ProteinFoods #SportsNutrition #MuscleGrowth #WeightLoss #FitnessNutrition #ProteinPowder #HYROX #HybridTraining #SportsScience #NutritionMyths #GymNutrition #Podcast
