Tia-Clair Toomey - 7x Fittest Woman on Earth Chats HYROX
In this week's episode of the Rox Lyfe podcast I get to chat with the legendary Tia-Clair Toomey (@tiaclair1).
Tia is surely one of the greatest athletes of all time: seven-time CrossFit Games champion, 2016 Olympian for Australia, Commonwealth Games gold medalist, and even a qualifier for the Winter Olympics in bobsleigh.
Having Tia on the podcast has been a dream of mine since Rox Lyfe began, and this conversation did not disappoint. We dove into her preparation for HYROX Melbourne where she’ll compete in mixed doubles with former guest James Newbury on 15th Dec 2024. We also got to speak about her incredible mindset, the traits that have fuelled her success, and lots more.
Tia doesn’t do a huge number of interviews so to be able to speak to her like this is rare, it was an absolute privilege and I really hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

HYROX Elite Athlete and Coach: Rebecca Mason
In this week’s episode of the Rox Lyfe podcast I got to speak with Rebecca Mason (@becmasonpt).
Rebecca is one of the fastest ever women in HYROX, she won her age group at the 2022 in Las Vegas, and then finished 6th in the Elite 15 at the Manchester World Championships the following year.
Unfortunately, she recently had to retire from competing in the sport due to a long-term injury, so I talk to her about how she has dealt with this and progressed into the next stage of her HYROX career as a coach.
She shares tonnes of great tips on improving your performance in HYROX, both through training and some excellent tips on mental resilience. It was a great chat with a legend of the sport!

"I couldn't breathe!" - HYROX Elite 5 Athlete: Rylan Schadegg
In this week’s episode of the Rox Lyfe podcast I got to speak with Rylan Schadegg (@ryalnschadegg). Rylan recently qualified for the Elite race at the HYROX World Championships after an incredible 3rd place finish at the Elite 15 Major in Amsterdam. What makes his performance even more remarkable is that he's been battling serious health challenges over the past year—and heading into Amsterdam, he thought it might be his last race for a while. In this candid conversation, Rylan opens up about everything he's faced since we last spoke—how he’s navigated the physical, mental, and spiritual aspects of recovery and competition. This was an honest and inspiring chat with a phenomenal athlete who, if all goes well, is a major contender for this season's HYROX World Championship.
