Five years ago nobody had heard of HYROX. Now it's sold out in every major city and your feed is full of orange bibs. So what actually happened?

In this episode of Between Sets, Vic and Matt break down the race that's taken over fitness culture — and they're being honest about what deserves the hype and what doesn't. Is HYROX genuinely the new marathon, or is it the CrossFit of 2025 — massive for a moment, then gone?

From a trainer's perspective and a regular gym-goer's perspective, this is the conversation the fitness world is actually having right now.

In this episode: ✅ What HYROX actually is — broken down simply for everyone ✅ How it exploded from one city in Germany to a global phenomenon ✅ Is it actually comparable to running a marathon — or is that just marketing? ✅ Who's really doing HYROX and why ✅ Is it good or bad for fitness culture overall? ✅ The CrossFit comparison — same trajectory or different outcome? ✅ Would Vic and Matt actually do one? (Honest answer inside) ✅ Hot takes — including whether wall balls should be illegal
