DESCRIPTION:
Matt opens with a full rant on CrossFit, hybrid fitness, and why the internet keeps pushing fake "versus" narratives. He breaks down why CrossFit staying tied to "forging elite fitness" limits mainstream appeal, how HYROX and hybrid races exploded by meeting regular people where they are, and why the future of fitness is community-driven, social, and Accessible, not elite only movement standards.
He then shifts into his conversation with Patrick from Flat Out UK, covering their race format, every station, how judging works for open vs pro athletes, and why Flat Out is becoming a popular gateway into hybrid training across the UK. They talk accessibility, realistic expectations for first-timers, pacing strategies, and what separates fun community races from serious competition.
