Hyrox World Champs Qualified on my debut pro race!
One of the biggest lessons I learned getting there is you can’t beat race day experience!
Yes it was my 1st actual pro race but I’d already learned the sport inside out with 10 previous races over varying different divisions.

No matter how fit you are, race day exposes everything: Pacing, mindset, focus, self-belief, transitions, technique efficiency, breathing, and how well you handle pressure.

Most Hyrox competitors don’t need more training.
They need better training & more structure, smarter strategy, clearer intent & guidance from someone with quality race experience.

If HYROX 2026 is your goal and you want to show up feeling:

* Fitter
* Calmer
* More confident
* Race day ready
* Fully prepared
* Inspired👌🏻

DM me “HYROX” and let’s start building it now.

Opening up limited online coaching spots to kick off the New Year!
Suitable for all fitness levels & Hyrox Goals!
Time to start 2026 by investing in your goals and yourself 🙏🏻🙌🏻👊🏻🫶🏻

Finishing off 2025 with a Hyrox Pro debut winners flag!
Physically, the thing I’m most proud of in life.
Not because of the achievement it self but the way I achieved it.
The last 3-months have been the first time I’ve committed to a goal with 💯 focus, discipline, determination & belief.
It’s the first time I’ve really felt an unwavering passion, purpose & fulfilment for a goal!
It’s also the first time I haven’t had to battle my own inner saboteur, negative self-talk or self-doubt to achieve what I wanted.
I’ve been ALL IN with mind body & soul & loved every second of the journey!

I finished 2025 with:
* 7 Personal Bests out of 8 races!
Pro: 1:07:33, Open: 1:02:56, Doubles: 56: 47
* 5 Podium places out of the last 7 races!
* 3 Age Division wins. Including back-to-back white flags for the last 2 races.

The biggest win of all though is I learned to truly believe in myself!
This wasn’t a ‘Let’s fake it until you make it’ or ‘Let’s do this to prove to yourself or to others that you can’ mentality!
This was all passion, fulfilment, enjoyment and belief.
I enjoyed every second of the journey without ever having to question myself.
And the best bit is this feels just like the start!

Shoutout to @novafitnessretreat for providing the most incredible environment to work and train in!
And thank you to everyone who has been a supportive part of my journey, no matter how big or how small!

Remember to be courageous enough to believe in yourself, brave enough to change direction when needed & vulnerable enough to pursue the things you love!

More to come…….

What an incredible end to an insane month!
4 Hyrox Races, in less than 4 weeks, in 4 different countries resulting in 3 personal bests, two 3rd Place podium finishes & two more 4th place for Age!
28/09: Rome 57:54 (Doubles with Luke) 3rd
04/10: Hamburg 1:04:38 (Solo) 3rd
18/10: Valencia 1:04:54 (Solo) 4th
22/10: Birmingham 56:47 (Doubles with Vlad) Currently 4th.
I honestly don’t even know where to start with my reflections.
It’s been a crazy month. I’ve learned so much both about Hyrox as a race & competition but more importantly myself!
When I first signed up to 4 in 4, I didn’t really think it would be that hard but I under-estimated the challenge.
Physically it was difficult but mentally and emotionally it was even harder due to the travel, lack of sleep, lack of routine, poor recovery, limited training & increased expectations I placed on myself.
Having said that, I loved it all.
Every race offered completely different experiences.
Unique challenges!
New lessons to learn!
I love Hyrox for many reasons.
Firstly, I love competing in something I’m good at.
I love challenging myself both physically & mentally.
I love dissecting the race. Understanding the tactics, techniques, rules, strategy & pacing!
I love the training. I love the community.
I love how I can test all the above, not only against the general masses, but also against people in my own age division.
I love seeing others, both friends & strangers, succeed in the sport in so many varied & unique ways.
And I love passing on my passion, experience, mindset & knowledge to other people.
After winning Cape Town for Age back in July in a 5-minute PB time of 1:05:19 I decided to solely focus my training for Hyrox competitions to see what I’m capable of.
So far so good! But hopefully I’m just getting started.
Now its time to rest up & then get back to training to see what next year brings.

Hyrox World Champs qualified for a second season!
Not my fastest race - but by far the one I’m most proud of.
I had to overcome some big mental & physical hurdles to get that win!

2nd consecutive World Champs qualified.
5th Age Division Win!
6th consecutive solo podium finish. (Excluding Worlds)
9th podium in 18-month!

Shoutout to @lukiedamen & @marzena_grabiec for smashing their own PB’s & being the ultimate support crew.
There’s no way I would have made the start line - let alone pulled off the win without them! 🏆

I became so good at wearing a mask that most people couldn’t tell.

But I could.

Being authentically myself hasn’t always come easily.

Growing up gay when “gay” was so often used to mean weak, immoral, perverted or ‘lesser than’, I learned to prioritise protection.

Being unapologetically myself wasn’t even secondary, it was far down the list.

I became so good at wearing a mask most people couldn’t tell.
But I knew who I truly felt safe to be myself around.

Only a select few saw beneath the bravado, the jokes, the ego and the smile.

Over the years, I’ve learned to own my identity, regardless of who’s in the room.

I learned to love myself.
And, just as importantly, to like myself.

But I’d be lying if I said I never struggle.

I still want to be accepted, valued, liked and loved. And that’s OK.

I still get triggered by judgement, by being misunderstood, by feeling I have to prove my worth.

I’m still scared of failure.

Over the years my need to prove my worth has helped me achieve much more than I could have ever imagined.

But my fear of failure and judgement has also stopped my achieving much more than I am capable of.

I don’t know who needs to hear this.

But this post is just a reminder to take life a little less seriously.

To care less about what others think and to care more about what makes your soul sing!

To follow your joy, to live the life you want ti live, not the life you think you should live.

To be vulnerable enough to love yourself and be true to yourself.

Just remember to be kind and a little more empathetic to others along the way.

You never know who’s still wearing a mask to feel safe. by @jamesinghamofficial

TRAIN HARD. RACE SMARTER. 🔥

My final HYROX workshop of the year is coming to London — Sunday October 18 @mflondon_fitness

Want to learn where you’re losing time, wasting energy and making your race harder than it needs to be?

Join me for a 90-minute masterclass covering:

✅ Efficient station technique and transitions
✅ The hidden energy cost of each station
✅ Pacing that leaves you strong enough to finish
✅ Doubles strategies built around your strengths
✅ Ways to save time without having to get fitter

Whether you’re preparing for your first HYROX or chasing a new PB, you’ll leave with practical strategies to take into training and race day.

I’m James — a HYROX Specialty Coach and Age Division World Championship athlete.

Across the last season, I competed in 12 Pro and Open races, achieved 10 PBs, won my age division four times, earned eight podiums and raced at the World Championships in Stockholm.

Alongside my coaching qualifications, I’ve spent countless hours studying the sport and learning from elite athletes and experts.

This workshop brings together that research, coaching knowledge and firsthand race experience — with the focus on what you can actually use.

📍 Military Fitness London, next to Wandsworth Station
📅 Sunday October 18
⏰ 11:30am | 90 minutes

Options to join the @mflondon_fitness HYROX class beforehand.

New Hyrox workshops announced at Newbury CrossFit, in Newbury, Berkshire on Saturday October 17.

My name’s James.
I’m a Hyrox speciality coach & Age Division World Championship athlete.
Last year I competed in 12 races across Pro & Open divisions.
I set 10 new Personal Bests, won 4 age division races, had 8 podiums (+ 2x 4th place finishes) & raced at the World Championships in Stockholm.

On top of my professional qualifications I also ‘studied’ the sport inside and out for my own pleasure, as a fan, as a coach, and as a competitor.

Now I’m going to share all the knowledge I’ve learned:
1. From my own personal experiences racing.
2. From my science backed studies.
3. From all the elites & experts I’ve listened to.

I’ve handpicked what I believe to be the most valuable bits of information and crammed them into a 90 minutes masterclass to help competitors of all experience & ability improve at Hyrox.

The workshops will take place at Newbury CrossFit on Saturday October 17th.
10:30am tailored for Hyrox first-timers.
12:30pm for people wanting to improve their PB’s.
You can book your place directly with @newbury_crossfit or DM me here on Insta.
Spaces are limited.

Pls also share this post with anyone who is interested in Hyrox.

Any questions just ask. Thanks James.

We often put too much pressure on ourselves to know exactly where we are going in life.

To have all the answers.

But life isn’t preplanned.

It’s supposed to be organic.
It changes as we change.
Success, peace, fulfilment is not linear but evolves, as we evolve.

You don’t need to have your entire future figured out.

You just need to make choices today that move you towards the person you want to become.

Because you don’t plan your future.

You plan today’s actions and they decide your future.

For over 15-years I used to turn up to the gym pretty much every day without a clear purpose!
I enjoyed it!
I wanted to be fit!
I enjoyed pushing & challenging myself in training.
I made me feel good.
I did the odd fitness challenge or run but that was it.
Fast-forward to now and fitness is shaping my life. Both professionally and personally.

I’m a big believer in trusting your gut.
Move in the direction of what feels right!
Learn the lessons along the way.
Listen to your own inner guidance.
And trust that if you continuously show up for yourself - then life will show up for you in return!

Keep believing in yourself.
Keep evolving.
And don’t forget to enjoy the adventure on the way! taken in London, United Kingdom by @jamesinghamofficial
