HYROX Chicago recap. DEKA announces big new cities.
Today we talk to Patrick from Flat Out UK, covering their race format, every station, how judging works for open vs pro athletes, and why Flat Out is becoming a popular gateway into hybrid training across the UK. They talk accessibility, realistic expectations for first-timers, pacing strategies, and what separates fun community races from serious competition.
Flat Out Fitness Race
• DEKA relay strategy lessons and pairing by strengths • The rower power curve and why drive then pull matters • Halloween and HYROX Atlanta numbers vs schedule saturation and pricing • Flex Pass and resale logic, what should change • U.S. travel and time off realities vs Europe • Athex format overview and why it could push HYROX • BBJ judging fix with consistent lane lines • Shoes for training and race day Summary: Matt, Cheryl, and Dave break down a DEKA relay that exposed how partner strengths can flip your plan, then get nerdy on the rower power curve as a live form check you should actually start with. They argue why HYROX Atlanta’s slower sales were more about a crowded schedule and price than Halloween, debate the Flex Pass and how transfers should work, and talk through why U.S. race planning needs longer lead time. Matt walks through the ATHX format and why it could be the right kind of pressure on HYROX. They wrap with a simple fix for BBJ judging using tighter lane lines and some quick gear talk on shoes.

Atlanta HYROX Interviews
opics Covered: • From Cairo to Rutgers: Ali’s soccer journey and how he discovered fitness • How CrossFit shaped Egypt’s early fitness scene • The birth of AlphaX: a new hybrid race format for the Middle East • Hosting an international event beside the Pyramids • Why the Grand Egyptian Museum launch matters • Event design, pricing, judging, and accessibility • Comparing AlphaX to HYROX Open Summary: Matt talks with Ali and Adam, the founders of AlphaX Egypt, as they prepare for their debut race at the Grand Egyptian Museum. Ali shares his path from pro soccer in Egypt to a D1 scholarship at Rutgers and then back home to build in fitness. Adam explains how an ACL rehab at the U.S. Olympic Training Center pulled him into CrossFit and eventually into running Egypt’s largest functional fitness events. AlphaX blends endurance, strength, and power across the year, culminating in “X,” a ten-station race with 800-meter runs between stations. Movements include sled push and pull, farmer carry, bear hug carry, burpee broad jumps, box jump overs, lunges, wall balls, row, and ski. Loads and flow are designed to be inclusive and comparable to HYROX Open, with singles, pairs, and relay divisions. Judging focuses on clear standards at high-variance stations like burpees and lunges, with one-to-one judging where needed. Pricing is intentionally accessible for the local market (about $20 USD early bird). Beyond the race, they talk about opening global eyes to Egypt’s fitness scene and using iconic locations like the Grand Egyptian Museum to showcase the region. Event Date: December 6, 2025 Location: Grand Egyptian Museum, Cairo
