About this episode

In this episode, we sit down with Mark Lammas from Body Burn Fitness in Halesowen - one of the very first Deadly Dozen affiliate gyms - to unpack what it really takes to build a thriving hybrid fitness community. From early Hyrox experiments to going all-in on functional fitness racing, Mark shares how hybrid training reshaped his gym, coaching philosophy, and results.

We explore:

  • Why hybrid training is about more than racing

  • How conjugate strength training builds elite performance

  • Balancing Deka, Hyrox, and Deadly Dozen in one program

  • Creating a real community and training with intention

  • The long game of programming, pace, and passion

Whether you’re a gym owner, coach, or competitor, this episode offers actionable insight into training smarter, building better athletes, and staying fired up for the long haul.
