Are you ready to unlock your true athletic potential and build a body that’s not just strong for the gym, but fit for life? Welcome to The Hybrid Code, the official podcast from Fit for Life and The Hyrox Lab offering online training globally or in person in Upper Ferntree Gully, Victoria.
So many fitness routines promise the world but deliver burnout and boredom. We’re here to change that. Each week, we decode the principles of hybrid training, showing you how to intelligently combine High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) and dedicated strength work (LIFT) to achieve incredible results.
Whether you're a seasoned athlete training for your next Hyrox event or just starting your journey and want to move with confidence and strength, you're in the right place.
Join us as we explore:
- Actionable Training Strategies: Master your HIIT and LIFT sessions with expert tips you can apply immediately.
- The Science of Performance: Understand the 'why' behind hybrid training, fat loss, muscle growth, and endurance.
- Mindset & Motivation: Cultivate the resilience and discipline to stay consistent and build a truly sustainable, fit for life mindset.
- Real-World Application: Learn how to translate your gym efforts into a stronger, more capable life outside of it.
Forget quick fixes and endless cycles of starting over. It’s time to crack the code on your fitness.

We sit down to recap a massive year for the studio and all of you and reveal what is in the pipeline for 2026. From becoming a Hyrox affiliate to the introduction of the new "Trifecta" goal, this episode covers everything you need to know to hit the ground running in the new year.
In this episode we cover:
- Hyrox 2025 Recap: We discuss becoming an official affiliate and the massive success of the Melbourne event where over 20 members competed.
- Hyrox 2026 Plans: We have locked in three simulation events for next year. We are also targeting Hyrox Brisbane in April and Hyrox Melbourne in December.
- Challenges: The "Team vs Team" format was a huge hit this year. Next year we will run three main challenges (February, Winter, and End of Year).
- New Nutrition & Training Approach: We are shifting the focus to empowering you to build your own meal plans for long-term sustainability. Running programs will also become more specialized with zones based on 20-minute time trials.
- The "Trifecta" (please give us a new name!!): A new annual goal for members to complete one 6-week challenge, one Hyrox program/simulation, and one 10-week running program. If you can come up with a cool name for this, you could win three PT sessions!
- Studio Upgrades: A shoutout to Marty for the help with the new sled track. We also discuss the new Concept 2 equipment, kettlebells, teal mats, and the InBody Scanner.
- Team Updates: This year we had Benny out with a broken leg, then backkkk in action after it healed up super fast and Fleur has been a seamless addition to the team, and Jess continues to be the child whisperer in the crèche.
