From Partying to Purpose

Hunter's early years were marked by struggles with attention deficit disorder, substance abuse, and brushes with the law. 

These challenges set the stage for a remarkable redemption story. 

During a rehab stint, a logging job in Montana's vast landscapes began to shape Hunter’s physique and instill discipline.

But a fateful decision to participate in a local Spartan Race saw him finish just eight minutes behind world champion Hobie Call despite several beers that morning - igniting a spark that would forever change his trajectory. "That race was a wake-up call. It showed me what I was truly capable of," Hunter reflects.

Becoming a Hybrid Athlete

The supreme example of a hybrid athlete - someone who excels across multiple athletic disciplines, combining the best of strength, endurance, and agility. HYROX fits perfectly into this mold, pushing athletes beyond their limits. "HYROX is the ultimate test, challenging every ounce of your strength and endurance," Hunter shares.

Train Like Hunter

Cardio Workouts: 

Boost your stamina with intense cardio sessions on the Better Body Air Bike. It's not just about building muscle; it's about building endurance. Remember to maintain a steady pace and gradually increase intensity to build endurance effectively.

Strength Training:
