Why I signed up for Hyrox Manchester

Over the past year, I let my health and fitness slide. Between work, injuries, and a busy schedule, I stopped making time for myself and gained over 2 stone.

Then, on June 28th, we found out we’re expecting our first baby - due February 2026. That news changed everything. I realised I needed to take control of my health and fitness before he arrives, so I can be the best version of myself when the little man arrives.

So, I signed up for the Every Move Academy’s 3-month programme following a friend’s recommendation and registered for Hyrox Manchester in January 2026.

This will be a huge challenge for me - I’ve never done Hyrox before, and I’m starting from scratch (and then some!) but it’s a goal that gives me focus, purpose, and accountability.

I’m aiming to raise £400 for MacMillan, and every bit of support - whether it’s a donation, share, or message - means so much and goes towards helping people who need it most.

Thank you for helping me make this journey count 💪
