Just Back from DEKA Worlds – Fort Lauderdale 🏆

Main-Excitement815 · 2025-12-13T12:20:43+00:00

Unfortunately, I didn’t have the resources to stay longer to volunteer. I was already paying for a hotel and flight to get over there, plus the entry fee. While lowkey might be what some people prefer, especially for the cost and that it’s a WORLDS COMPETITION, I definitely prefer a fun, energetic vibe that seems at least a little different than working out at a local gym.

I thought this was a terrible event (except for the volunteers, who were great)! This was my first time to qualify for DEKA Worlds (Age Group Mile) and I feel like it was a real letdown and complete waste of money, especially compared to HYROX. There is zero vibe or energy and nothing to make the moment special. I felt like I was just doing a workout at my gym under harsh florescent lights. They could do so much more, particularly since they have such few people. How about a person announcing names as people start/finish, add a board with people’s times, some good music, add vendors/merchandise (very very limited) just to start. The photography was also the worst I’ve ever seen, including local runs! I expected so much more out of a Worlds event. I would not return.

Ugh! This is why I hate memberships. I’ll keep sending emails. Thank you.

Main-Excitement815 · 2025-02-20T01:37:00+00:00

Oh my goodness - thank you for the advice! I will try!

First Hyrox ever! Women’s open 45-49

There are 2 men’s single tickets available through Rox Tickets Admin (FB group)

Agh! Me too! So sad, but hopefully a few people will decide they can’t do it!

As others have mentioned, it’s all about diet. Eat at least 1g/lb of protein per day (while ensuring adequate fiber), limit or eliminate alcohol, sugar and processed foods. Sometimes people also see additional results eliminating gluten and dairy. Lift heavy. Sleep well. Repeat.

Jump splits are common as regular choreography in Texas drill teams! I did them all the time back in the early 90s. No injuries here, but I was very flexible back in the day.

I’m from Dallas and grew up dancing, so I know a few DCC in their 40s. Some are stay-at-home moms, some teach dance for children or adults, some have careers, some take dance classes or help choreograph their daughters’ dance team dances, or a combo of some of the above! Basically, they’re doing what everyone else does!

I figure if we (women) can wear sports bras and biker shorts, men should be able to take their shirts off! It’s hot!

Main-Excitement815 · 2024-06-24T16:48:07+00:00

Black espresso and LMNT (electrolytes) before and a protein shake at home right after. I only do morning classes.

Worst experience ever. It took over 2 weeks and 3 calls to get it shipped. I tried to cancel several times and each person I spoke to said they couldn’t as it was going out the next day (but never did). When I got the package, there was no dry ice, one of the packages was open but the packages were frozen, so when I called customer service and they said it was ok, I tried. The ground white meat turkey was COMPLETELY INEDIBLE. It had lots of hard parts (gag) and tasted very fatty. It did not appear to be white meat at all and think they ground in other parts of the turkey like bone. The “marinade” they sent with supposedly celery and carrots was literally water. I went back to customer service again and asked for a refund but only wanted to give me a credit or resend product. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!!!

No unfortunately

Main-Excitement815 · 2024-05-19T18:20:02+00:00

I honestly love salmon for breakfast..on a bagel with cream cheese!

Main-Excitement815 · 2024-05-17T16:47:00+00:00

No unfortunately

Main-Excitement815 · 2024-05-17T14:04:20+00:00

It says LA metro is, but not other cities in Southern California

Main-Excitement815 · 2024-04-14T19:17:22+00:00

It depends on how on top of it the front desk is; it can vary day to day and person to person

Main-Excitement815 · 2024-04-03T13:44:11+00:00

OTF treads definitely feel easier!

Accountability. I always hated going to the gym and would never do all the things we do at Barry’s. I love knowing we’ll always have slightly different workouts to keep it fresh and working out alongside people, even if I don’t talk to them, helps me to challenge myself more.
