YOUR HYROX
COACH

Hi, I'm Wayne Naude — HYROX Ready Trainer and two-time national champion. I understand the journey from doubt to dominance because I've lived it.

HYROX isn't just about fitness—it's about proving to yourself that you can commit, adapt, and achieve what once seemed impossible.

With over 8 years of coaching experience and HYROX certification, I've helped hundreds transform not just their bodies, but their entire approach to challenge and growth.

I only work with 18 athletes at a time because transformation requires total commitment—from both of us.
