#111: Why Training for an Event Like Hyrox Builds Complete Fitness
Fri Feb 06 2026
Many people train until they look good, then they lose interest and quit. In this episode of The Supra Human Show, Ben Olliver and Ryan Stevens and Dr. Taylor Waters explain why aesthetic-only goals eventually stall motivation and why training for real events like Hyrox changes how you approach fitness. Preparing for something concrete forces better programming, builds real conditioning, and creates momentum that lasts. Instead of chasing optics or restarting plans every few months, event-based training gives structure, accountability, and a reason to keep showing up. If your workouts feel repetitive, flat, or directionless, this episode explains why performance goals bring energy back into training.
