POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

From a Letdown to Victory: My First Hyrox Journey 🏁 Part 2

I arrived in Italy with one hour of sleep, swollen feet from work & a body running on pure willpower.

But here’s what I learned: All those intimidating stories?
I realized it was all just noise.
Yes, Hyrox challenges you!
Don’t get me wrong, it wasn’t a cakewalk, but there are too many people discouraging beginners from a race that’s literally designed for EVERYONE, for EVERY FITNESS LEVEL.
The beauty lies in showing up and refusing to quit.
@hyroxworld made something so incredible & nailed community building by making it accessible and inclusive for everyone, which is why their massive success feels so well-deserved.

If this sleep-deprived, overworked dreamer girl can cross that finish line, so can you.
Do it, do it, do it !!!

My heart overflows with gratitude to:
🙏 @breathestudio.in by @shivani_rajput & @subtle.strength for getting the ball rolling with my Hyrox training
🙏 @king.kong.club for giving me a home & awesome community (my fam) for Hyrox. Thx @w.dans 🙏

Die Halle @diehalle_modernfitness , (specifically Coach Konstantin @konstantin_marxx ), for the invaluable tips & encouragement.
🙏 My last-minute discovery, Hyrox Coach Alex Ebner @alexfithyrox at @mygym_fitness , whose voice was constantly in my head during the race with all the guidance from our PT session for @hyroxitalia !

🙏 But most of all, my biggest cheerleader—my sister @tiradark , my entire world—who flew down all the way to Rome with fever just to scream her lungs out with the most loving “abuses,” inciting me on till that finish line 🏁

HYROX Rome 2025 ✅ 🇮🇹
Open Women | 2:05:17
First race solo. Done. 🔥
I won’t sugarcoat it, I was terrified. My stomach was in knots before the start line. I wasn’t the fittest in the room or most experienced. I had 5 weeks of intense HYROX classes in Europe and 2 before in India. Few runs in India 🇮🇳. 2-3 runs in Austria 🇦🇹 That’s it.
After my 10K, my business took over and training took a backs. But I showed up anyway.

People looked at me with concern: “You’re not ready yet.” “Don’t rush into HYROX so soon.” “Just go have fun,even if you don’t finish, it’s okay!”

2 hours, 5 minutes, and 17 seconds later, I crossed that finish line. 🏁

Not perfect. Not easy.
But hopeful & motivated even more, knowing I would have had a saved a few more minutes if I hadn’t been nausea of the energy gel.🤣

This is for everyone who’s been told they’re not ready. Who’s juggling a demanding career and fitness goals. For anyone who’s ever felt unprepared but showed up anyway. You just need courage to start. ✨

I’ve got so much to learn and so much room to grow and I’m EXCITED for it. To everyone who supported & believed in me… THANK YOU. You’re part of this victory. 🙏🏽
Here’s to starting before you’re ready. Here’s to surprising yourself.
Let’s GO. 🚀

Grazie mille Italy ❤️

(Hyrox Mumbai I ll still come for u 🫵🏻 )

From a Letdown to Victory: My First Hyrox Journey 🏁 Part 1:

I worked incredibly hard for Hyrox Mumbai & it broke my heart when I couldn’t participate. But I refused to let my efforts go to waste & I wasn’t returning to Mumbai without crossing the finish line. It became my obsession, my stubborn mission, I needed to prove my dedication to myself and show that I’m not a quitter. Come what may.

The journey wasn’t pretty: 11-hour work shifts on my feet at my business, 3:30 AM wake-ups for @unlock.hq Live Training sessions by @shivani_rajput @subtle.strength , 90-minute Hyrox sessions three times a week at @king.kong.club , @diehalle_modernfitness & a insightful PT sesh with @alexfithyrox at @mygym_fitness and zero days off from being an entrepreneur.

I took the word “World” literally in Hyroxworld.
I got my entire world together to make me compete at Hyrox.
The last time I was this excited to get my worlds together was my job at an app which blew up during COVID where I felt the same energy.
Hyrox, you made me feel alive again.

To reach here…

I had to go through lots of pain and

more pain.2 Weeks before Hyrox, A Bike ran over me leaving me with scars, blood, bruises and mild concussion on the road. But that didn’t stop me.

Friends cheered me up.
So how can I not recover in speed light when I have such caring and loving people around me. Thank you my darling @journeyswithjeet for such beautiful flowers 💐 You made my working day so much better with this pain.

With such a beautiful view this became my peace spot at work to overcome my pain and stress.

Love these fabulous people. What an amazing couple. @janet.vidhi & Raghav are. Power couple indeed 🫶🏼Thank u @jamwalraghav for all the help and support during the 4 days Event and a walk around the venue.
Glob Collaboration soon 🔥🤌🏻

What an honor to meet you seeeeerrrr 🫡
Hyrox Bhutan in the making 🤐😲

My favorite people at the Help Desk.
Took time out to calculate my actual timing ⏱️
Yes am an idiot who lost count of the laps and managed to add almost 8 mins extra. (Where was my mind, seriously 😒).
So my actual timing would be anywhere around 2:02:45 and 2:03:45.

Once I reached the finish line a bright light came at the end of the tunnel and I saw an angel. (Yeah it really felt like am dying of the pain in my feet)
That guardian angel was @theresa__charlene who patiently helped me walk again after 30 mins of extensive pain in my feet. Can’t forget those cramps. Thank u for tolerating me crybaby so much.

Puma’s local Mumbai train left us at the station with this stuff. Thank u @pumaindia & @hyroxindia for these memorable goodies. 😲

Step’s waterfall couldn’t stop from reaching my Hyrox Simulations at 6262 Fitness.🦾
Karlo joh karna hai. 🤌🏻 hum toh jayenge.

Glow says enough.

The ones who dont make it on Instagram are these photos 🙈🤌🏻
Was not all smiley smiley easy peasy. 😮‍💨

Thank u @6262fitness for helping me in all ways possible to participate in mumbai with my injuries and health issues.
Loved the event @hyroxindia , finally participated in India 🇮🇳❤️ taken in Mumbai, Maharashtra by @1stnatasha

HYROX Mumbai 2026 ✅ 🇮🇳2nd Race. Almost didn’t happen.
Open Women | 2:11:13
2 weeks before this race, a bike hit me.
I could’ve used that as my out. I’d already missed Mumbai last year & every reason to sit this one out was right there, waiting.

@hyroxindia I told ya I ll come for you no matter what 🤌🏻❤️

I didn’t take it. (Screaming here out of pain in my feet 👣)

A body that was still healing from an accident. None of it left much room for training or for confidence at the start line.Massive work load with 13/14 hours shifts. Endometriosis making some days harder than others.

I showed up anyway.

I wasn’t racing the clock.
I was racing every voice, including my own, that said maybe not this time. You are gonna injure yourself more.

Crossed that finish line anyway. 🏁

Not perfect.

Not easy.

Built through pain,

exhaustion & pure stubbornness.

This one’s for anyone who’s been handed a hundred reasons to quit before they even started.

You just need to show up keeping your health in check.

Training this time was entirely in India 🇮🇳
Different from Austria 🇦🇹 in every way for @hyroxindia :
Mumbai’s humidity & 6262 Fitness’s brutal slope !!!
Despite my health issues over the past few months, giving up was never on the table.
Less time to prepare, destiny throwing every obstacle my way.
Beating my own time was the dream. But this time, the goal was simpler: The finish line, injuries and all, even when nothing was in my favor.

Out of @6262fitness , so many of us made it to the podium 🔥 because the coaches here don’t just train you, they know you.
Mindful, skilled and they push exactly as much as your body can take.

Grateful to @poojarajpalofficial @coachamitdahiya , Coach Shashank, Coach Varun & all other coaches for the modifications during my workouts after the road accident, without ever compromising on the goal. taken in Nesco Goregaon by @1stnatasha
