Hyrox Melbourne was my first experience shooting this high energy fitness event! Held at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre in December 2025 this event is a gathering of super fit people ready to push themselves to the limit.

While there were plenty of local athletes - and many competing at Hyrox for the first time - there were also many athletes who had come from overseas. This brought a very diverse and international feel to the event, almost like a global gathering of the super fit!

It was inspiring and motivating seeing the athletes pushing themselves, and it did make me wonder about the hours they had put into preparation. With eight 1 kilometre runs you could see these who were strong runners benefiting. While the 8 stations in between were great tests of strength.

Thanks to Nadine and Beatriz for having me along to photograph your competition. I'm already looking forward to the next Hyrox event.
