Mindset Over Muscle: What Our First HYROX Race Taught Us About Strength & Commitment

Allison Arruda Episode 125

Back with a brand new episode after Matt and I crossed the finish line of our first-ever HYROX race in Atlanta! What a ride! In this episode, we are reflecting on one of the most physically and mentally demanding challenges we’ve ever taken on together, and the unexpected lessons that came with it. From pushing our limits, to shifting our mindset, committing to the unknown, and celebrating what it means to grow as a team, this race was about so much more than fitness. Whether you’ve heard of HYROX before or not, we hope this episode leaves you fired up to commit to something hard and go all in on yourself.

Tune in to hear more about:
• Why we signed up for HYROX as part of a business mastermind wager—and what that meant to us.
• The mental battles and breakthroughs, we experienced during the race.
• What training together revealed about our marriage and teamwork.
• Redefining what success looks like when doing something completely new.
• The power of commitment, consistency, and why sometimes you just need to pull the band-aid off and go for it.

If you’ve been thinking about doing something outside your comfort zone, whether in business, fitness, or life, let this inspire you to take that first step. You are more capable than you think, and sometimes the best way to prove it to yourself is by showing up for the hard things. We’re always cheering you on, would love to know what you are taking on so head over to our socials @AlliArruda and @Matt_Arruda!
