The Pocket with Chris Griffin EP 61: Hunter McIntyre: From World Class Drug Doer To World Champion
Welcome to episode 61 of The Pocket with Chris Griffin.
Today I sit down with Hunter McIntyre—one of the greatest endurance & hybrid athletes of our time, a three-time HYROX world champion, and an all-around larger-than-life character.
Hunter is known for his insane fitness, unmatched competitiveness, and his jock-like persona online. But behind the records and the bravado is a wild story of rebellion, struggle, and transformation.
He opens up about his troubled teenage years—getting into trouble, bouncing in and out of rehab centers, and being prescribed nearly every medication under the sun. It was a chaotic time that could have easily sent him down the wrong path permanently.
We talk about the turning point—when everything changed and how he took control of his life, channeling that restless energy into becoming one of the most dominant endurance athletes in the world. He shares the lessons he learned along the way, from pushing physical and mental limits to understanding what truly matters in life.
This was one of my favourite conversations to date. Hunter brings an insane amount of energy, honesty, and wisdom, and I think you’ll get a lot out of this one.
