On this week's bumper end-of-year edition, we review the biggest stories, shifts and stand-out moments from fitness racing in 2025.

We're joined by Neil Marsh from the On the Rox Podcast and veteran athlete Wendy Williams to break it all down.

We discuss how HYROX evolved over the year, from changes at the Elite level through to developments affecting everyday athletes. We explore the rise of DEADLY DOZEN, growing from a local event into a touring race across the UK and beyond. We also cover DEKA's expansion, including its first UK arena DEKA FIT and the continued growth of its affiliate gym network.

Finally, we give a shout-out to some of the other fitness races that made their mark on the UK scene in 2025.
