Unit 5

04/06/2026

Last weekend we hosted the Hybrid Team Trials.

Teams of 4 (2 males, 2 females) took on three very different tests:

Trial 1 – Strength
Trial 2 – Endurance
Trial 3 – Metabolic Conditioning

But this wasn’t just about who was the fastest or strongest. It was about strategy, teamwork, and figuring out how to get the best out of every member of your team.

The sun was shining, the atmosphere was unreal, PBs were flying around, and every team left it all out on the floor.

At Unit 5, we believe fitness should challenge you, but it should also bring people together. Competition can be hard, but it can still be fun. The best days are the ones where you push your limits, cheer on your teammates, celebrate each other’s wins… and finish it all off with a burger and a beer.

A huge thank you to everyone who took part, supported, judged, and helped make the day what it was.

This is what Unit 5 is all about. Community.
Effort.
Fun.

Our next event is our Hyrox Simulation on 11th July, we’re hoping to make it the biggest event to date.

Our next HYROX Simulation is now live.

Whether you’re chasing a PB, preparing for an upcoming race, or just want to see what HYROX is all about, this is your chance to test yourself in a race-day environment.

A huge thank you to for supporting our Hybrid Team Trials this weekend.

Every competitor will receive a FREE burger and pint after the event, and Taylor’s have kindly supplied all of the meat to make it happen.

As a local family business, they share the same values we do at Unit 5, supporting the local community and bringing people together.

If you’re looking for quality meat, fantastic service and a business that genuinely supports local events, make sure you pay them a visit this weekend.

See you all on the dance floor

Another busy weekend for Unit 5 members, putting their fitness to the test.

Over the Bank Holiday Weekend we’ve had members competing across the country in marathons, half marathons and fitness races including National Finals.

We had members qualify for the Deadly Dozen National Finals in Birmingham, unfortunately not all original teammates were available so 2 of our members stepped in last minute. A good reminder that broad-based fitness and being ready for anything is never a bad thing.

At the Edinburgh Marathon Festival, we had athletes tackling both the marathon and half marathon in brutal conditions, with Evie knocking an incredible 7 minutes off her Half Marathon PB.

Closer to home, we sent four teams to CR Fitness in Lincoln for the Deadly Erg 2. Congratulations to Sol and Danny on taking the win in the men’s pairs and Darren and Ben for finishing second. Outstanding performances all round.

What we love about this isn’t just the results. It’s seeing our members willing to step onto a start line. Some of these athletes have raced countless times, others were competing for the very first time.

Different events. Different Goals. Same mindset.

Train hard. Support each other. See what you’re capable of!

Well done everyone 💪.crossland1 ,Kev,Danny and Jess!

Unit 5 members hit the road again this weekend.

HYROX Cardiff 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 was a tough one — but you wouldn’t have known it watching this lot.

First races.
Sub-60 chases.
Mother & daughter doubles.
Old guy doubles
Solo racers

No drama, no noise… just people getting it done.

That’s what Unit 5 is about.

You don’t have to race when you train with us. No pressure, no expectations.

But if you stick around long enough…
you might just find yourself on a start line you never saw coming.

Well done to everyone who stepped up.
We are so proud of you all 👊🏽.

This morning’s HYROX class at Unit 5 got a little confusing.

We’re celebrating Head Coach .straw.hybrid.coach 21st birthday (again) 🎂
Although somehow he’s managed to age 30 years overnight 🤷‍♂️

Everyone turned up in full fancy dress but the real highlight? A room full of Mark’s face staring back at him from every angle 😭😂

Imagine trying to coach a session when 20 versions of you are judging your every move… tough morning.

All jokes aside, if you’re still moving like that at “21”, we’ll take it 💪

Happy Birthday Mark 🎉 You’ve still got it… just with a bit more experience 😉

Darren and Mark are stepping up this bank holiday weekend at HYROX Cardiff competing in the Pairs category.

Combined age: 99 years

Let that sink in. This is exactly what we’re about. Not just talking fitness. Not just selling it. But Living & Breathing it. Showing up and putting it on the line.

They’re not doing this to take it easy. They’re doing it because it’s who they are. The same standards we expect inside the club are the standards they hold themselves to outside of it. This is leadership.

If you’ve ever thought “I’ll start when I’m fitter” or “it’s too late for me” this is your reminder that it’s not.

We don’t just build members. We build people who are willing to test themselves.

Let’s get behind them this weekend.
