Client Testimonials
Kirsten Hines
Partnering with Kara for my debut HYROX was transformative. She crafted a bespoke schedule that balanced my hectic lifestyle with performance goals, leading to a sub-90-minute result that nearly matched her exact forecast. Beyond the numbers, her expert mentorship boosted my self-belief and completely redefined my relationship with running.

Working with Mike has been a game changer. As a busy OBGYN surgeon and mum of two, I wanted to know my limited training time was being used as effectively as possible, and his coaching has helped me PB every race, move up to HYROX Pro Women, and qualify for the Pro Doubles World Championships. More than the results, he's taught me to trust the process, train smarter, and believe in myself

Joining Hybrid Athlete gave me the structure and accountability I was missing after years of coaching myself. The balanced programming has made me stronger, fitter and more well-rounded than I was in my 20s and 30s, giving me the confidence to jump into almost any hybrid or endurance race and perform. If you're considering a coach, commit to the process, trust the plan, and you'll be amazed at what you can achieve over time.

I joined Hybrid Athlete because I knew I needed more than just hard work—I needed structure, accountability and coaches who understood how to get me where I wanted to go. Over the last year, working with Maria has completely changed both my performances and my mindset. I've taken almost 20 minutes off my HYROX Pro Solo time, built the endurance to complete an IRONMAN 70.3, and become a much more confident athlete, but the biggest change is learning to trust the process and actually be proud of my performances instead of only focusing on what I could have done better. Having a coach—and a whole team behind you—has made me realise just how much more you're capable of when someone is in your corner.
Kerry Lamarche
Working with Mike has completely changed the way I train and what I believe is possible. After being told I'd never run or jump again following a serious knee injury, I've become stronger, faster and pain-free, rebuilt my confidence, and even healed my relationship with food by learning how to fuel properly. The biggest difference is that I trust the process—Mike takes the guesswork out of training, and all I have to do is show up, put in the work, and keep chasing bigger goals.
Ali van Yzendoorn
Working with Maria has given me the structure, confidence and accountability I was missing. In just four months I've set a new 10K PB and went into my first HYROX Pro Solo feeling prepared, all while balancing two part-time jobs and full-time study thanks to training that's tailored to my life. Having a coach who explains the 'why' behind the plan has helped me trust the process and discover a level of physical and mental strength I didn't know I still had.
Kayla Mooney
Working with Mike has completely changed what I thought I was capable of. In just a few months I've taken my HYROX Open time from 1:23 to 1:06, improved my Pro time to 1:09, run a 1:35 half marathon, broken 19 minutes for 5K, and done it all while getting stronger. More than the results, I've gone from dreading running to loving it, and I've realised that with the right coach your potential is probably far greater than you think.
