Race Day Replica incoming! 🏃‍♂️

Saturday, November 21. The TFE In-House HYROX Simulation.

With HYROX Melbourne approaching, we’re bringing our athletes together for an opportunity to put their preparation to the test, experience race-day conditions and get a clearer picture of where they stand heading into the final stages of training.

But this one’s not just for our HYROX squad - We’re opening the floor to our wider TFE membership, along with their partners, friends and family, for a morning of training, supporting one another and experiencing something a little different.

Whether you’re preparing for Melbourne, have competed before, or have never experienced Hyrox and simply want to give it a go, there’s a place for you.

Multiple waves, allocated start times, plenty of support from our coaches and experienced athletes, and a few extras (coffee, slushies, merch & prizes) to make the morning worthwhile.

Free coffee on us too.

A few things to know:

Saturday, November 21
5:45am - GPP as usual
7:30am - HYROX Simulation begins
Multiple waves throughout the morning
Members & invited guests only

Our Melbourne HYROX athletes will receive priority wave allocation as part of their race preparation.

This isn’t a public event. It’s something we’re putting together for the people who make up TFE, and those they’d like to share the experience with.

Members, let the coaching team know if you’re joining us so we can organise your start time.

Looking forward to a good morning with good people.

All athletes of all ages have a baseline. Know yours.

Introducing TFE Athlete Performance Assessments, powered by VALD technology.

Through objective performance testing, we’re able to measure key physical qualities including strength, power, force production and asymmetries, providing a clearer picture of an athlete’s current capabilities.

But the real value isn’t simply in collecting data. It’s understanding what that data tells us, identifying opportunities for development and using those insights to inform purposeful training

Whether you’re a developing junior athlete, competing at a high level, or simply looking to better understand your physical capabilities, the process remains the same.

Better performance doesn’t solely come from collecting data. It comes from knowing what to do with it.

The technology measures, the coaching interprets, the training develops.

Athlete Performance Assessments are now available in-house at TFE, Jamisontown.

Get in touch to find out more or book your assessment.

We Hit The Ground Running, Literally. 🔊
Episode 9, now live on your favourite streaming platforms.

08/11/2026

Our new training cycle the Hybrid Peak Block has just begun 2 weeks ago, but you can still start with us this week. You haven’t missed the start, you’ve just found yours.

You don’t need the perfect starting point. More often than not, the “perfect time” doesn’t actually exist. You just need to start - where you are, as you are.

Start where you are. We’ll build from there.

7 days free, now available.

Before the week is out, we’d like to acknowledge a group of TFE athletes and their achievements on the competition front last weekend.

Across the Husky Half Marathon, Husky Marathon, Battle of Benton, Husky Triathlon and Noosa Triathlon, we had members putting themselves to the test across a pretty diverse range of pursuits.

Competition asks things of you that can be difficult to replicate in everyday training. It challenges your preparation, your ability to manage discomfort, make decisions under fatigue and discover what you’re capable of beyond the familiarity of your gym.

But something we think is important to distinguish is that training doesn’t need to revolve around competition to be meaningful.

We don’t program with the expectation that everyone should be preparing for their next event, nor do we encourage moving from one competition to another without consideration for rest, recovery and long-term development.

Training for everyday life, health and enjoyment is just as worthwhile.

That’s a big part of why we believe in General Physical Preparedness (our GPP). Developing strength, aerobic capacity, power and movement competency gives people a physical foundation that extends beyond any single sport or event.

And while competition can require its own specific preparation, we back our programming to develop the qualities that allow our members to approach whatever they choose to pursue with confidence.

For some, that’s simply being stronger, fitter and more capable in everyday life. For others, it’s a marathon, triathlon or stepping onto a competition floor.

Neither pursuit is more important than the other.

But to those who continue to put themselves out there, challenge what’s familiar and discover what they’re capable of - we love seeing it, and we’re incredibly proud of you.

The work happens here. What you choose to do with it is entirely yours.

Team TFE. 💚
