It’s Official … HYROX AUCKLAND 2026 is finally here🔥 And F45 Whakatāne has some amazing individuals taking part so we wanted to give them a shoutout! We are all so incredibly of everyone who stepped up and wanted to challenge themselves by competing🙏🏽 LESSHGGOOOO!!
First up is our Thursday Racers!!! Below is also their “why” as to why they have decided to do Hyrox this year:
• 3 G3n3rations - Better lead by example; can’t run a gym and not take part 🤣🤣 And we’ve been training and competing in things together for years, even generations! 3 generations of us in the Jan touch tourney, national surf comp, national Maori touch and now Hyrox!
• Rach - This year is all about intention. I’m so ready to get out there and give it everything with my amazing teammate, Bethan. 🙌 Mahi tahi in action!
• Bethan - I’m taking on HYROX Wāhine Doubles Aotearoa 2026 because I’m always up for a challenge. I live by the idea of getting 1% better every day, and honestly, HYROX felt like the perfect way to bank the year 😅 The training, the goals, the hype, the vibe, and the friendships you build along the way are all pretty awesome side effects too. Karawhiua e hoa mā—come give it a go!
• Dani & Kiki - Our reasons for doing hyrox is, just to tick it off our bucket lists and to be amongst the atmosphere 😅
• Tai - My ‘why’ is my family - I want my babies (current and unborn 🤰) to look back later and think that if their Mumma can achieve HYROX, they can do anything they put their minds to ❤️
• Kimi - I wanted to push myself a bit more from doing relays last year! Hyrox is a vibe! And even better when doing with the best people! ❤️
• Char - To prove to ourselves that we can do ALL things by just believing in ourselves 😊
• Penni - Love the hyrox community, vibe, all shapes, sizes and ages. Hyrox will humbly test my own taniwha/mental strength 💪 and endurance. Totally gonna smash my time next year 2027💪
