HYROX Manchester - EMA Take Over

The EMA Hit HYROX Manchester with a BANG!

What a weekend for the EMA!!!

Last weekend several members from the EMA HIT the HYROX dance floor in Manchester and... KILLED it!

We are extremely PROUD to say that we not only had Head Coaches Alex & Sarah compete but we also had 10 EMA members take on a HYROX event this past weekend! From relays to singles & doubles - The EMA was represented on ALL starting lines in Manchester!

The results from each and every member that raced were INCREDIBLE and we could not be more proud to see you all reap the rewards of all the blood, sweat and tears that went into getting to the START LINE!

The weekend was off to a flying start with the MyProtein 'Friday Night Lights' Relay Races taking place! Here we saw the EMA represented on 2 Female Relay teams; Lilley Orme, Imogen Shepley & Amy Betteridge. As well as a Males Relay team including; Dan Hough & Luke Stinson! For some it was their first taste of HYROX and after SMASHING it...are EAGER for more!

We also saw Alex & Sarah finish in 3rd place for the Mixed Relay with a WHOOPING time of 55:57 minutes!

Of course being the EMA we had some SAVAGE wins, finish times & PBS across the entire weekend!🤩

Alex & Sarah competed in Mixed Doubles and finished with a PB and an INCREDIBLE time of 1:02 🎉
Dan Hough & Natasha Roberts competed in Mixed Doubles, crossing the line with a PB and overall time of 1:06 🎉

These events yet again proved to us just how SPECIAL the EMA COMMUNITY is... The support, encouragement and congratulations that was shown to everyone is what this is all about! Everyone WANTING each other to be the BEST they possibly can be...to PUSH as hard as they can to ACHIEVE their goals was truly INSPIRING! How lucky are we to be part of such an incredible COMMUNITY & TEAM?
