CrossFit & HYROX: The New Era of Fitness Competition w/ Matt Chan

In this episode, Jason and Matt dive into the evolution of fitness competitions and why events like HYROX are bringing a new wave of people into the world of training. From aerobic conditioning and long-term durability to pushing yourself in competitive environments, this conversation explores what real fitness looks like as the industry continues to evolve.
The group breaks down the challenge of maintaining high-level fitness over time, adjusting expectations as you age, and how experiences like HYROX force people to confront limiting beliefs in real time. They also discuss why problem solving under stress matters both inside and outside the gym, the role shared interests play in relationships, and what’s ahead for the podcast and TRAIN HARD community.
