From F45 to Race Day: How your training with Hysoxs can elevate your performance

In the ever-evolving world of fitness, hybrid events have gained immense popularity, combining endurance and functional strength to challenge even the fittest athletes. If you’re into fitness and do F45, it is safe to say that you’re already on the right path to excel in these competitions. In this blog, we explore what F45 is, how it's inspired one of our ambassadors and how F45 and our racing grips socks can set you up for success in your next hybrid events.

What is F45?

F45 stands for Functional 45-minute training sessions designed to test and improve your full-body fitness. With a mix of HIIT (High-Intensity Interval Training), circuit training, and functional exercises, F45 are known for building the strength, endurance, and agility needed for various hybrid events.

Elevate Your Performance with Hysoxs Racing Grip Socks

While F45 training sets the foundation, the right gear can further enhance your performance. Enter Hysoxs Racing Grip Socks, designed to provide optimal traction, compression, comfort, and support during high-intensity activities.

1.Improved Traction:

The anti-slip grip patterns on Hysoxs Racing Grip Socks ensure you stay stable during quick movements and high-impact exercises. This is crucial when transitioning between different workout stations, preventing slips and enhancing your confidence.

2.Enhanced Comfort:

Made from moisture-wicking materials, Hysoxs keep your feet dry and comfortable, reducing the risk of blisters and foot fatigue. This is especially important during endurance events where comfort can significantly impact performance.

3.Injury Prevention:

The added support and stability from Hysoxs help prevent common injuries associated with high-intensity training. By providing a secure fit, these socks ensure that your feet remain firmly planted, allowing you to focus on your performance.

4.Performance Boost:

With improved traction and comfort, you can push harder and go faster. Whether it’s powering through a sled push or maintaining pace on a SkiErg, Hysoxs Racing Grip Socks help you perform at your best.

Inspired by Kelly Sidebottom

One of our ambassadors, Kelly Sidebottom, is an experienced F45 goer and swears by our grip socks for her intense workouts. Kelly’s journey in the fitness world is truly inspiring. As an ambassador and hybrid athlete, she understands the importance of having reliable fitness gear that supports high-intensity training. Kelly knows how training with Hysoxs can elevate your performance, not just for F45 but for race day too.

Kelly joined F45 Blackhorse Lane in July 2021. Since then, she has completed just under 750 classes, and is one of the studio’s longest standing members. She joined F45 due to proximity, but quickly fell in love with the style and variety of training, the community, the members and the coaches. Her fitness levels have transformed since joining F45 Blackhorse Lane – in terms of strength (pull ups in particular!), cardio fitness, aesthetics (significant fat reduction and muscle growth) and running PBs (her 5km PB has come down from 24 minutes to 19 minutes and 51 seconds since joining).

About a year into starting at F45, Kelly was introduced to hybrid races by one of the trainers and she signed up to a popular hybrid race with 8 stations and 1km (1,000m) worth of running in between each station (her first doubles race) in November 2022. Since then, she has competed in 6 of these hybrid races (4 women’s open and 2 women’s open doubles) and will be racing women’s open in the F45 sponsored event in London in November 2024. She is working towards her first women’s pro race in Manchester in January 2025.

Kelly is a Rox Queens MVP for the London area. She collaborates with Kim Mansell, the local Rox Queens Ambassador to create engaging and accessible events for the community, alongside being there to support Rox Queens in any questions they may have around hybrid training and race day. They just hosted an absolutely fantastic Rox Queens event at F45 Blackhorse Lane on 2nd November, ahead of the F45 sponsored event in London, which grows the hybrid community even more. Rox Queens are also a Hysoxs partner and can be seen on our partners slide on our website homepage.
