June 26, 2025Ever wondered how it feels to take part a HYROX? From early alarms to finish-line goosebumps, Sylvia Gambino and Twan Nieboer, two of our PUMA colleagues, share their full World Champs experience with us. Follow their day step by step — and feel the thrill like you’re there! 🥵
PUMA employees at the HYROX World Champs? You heard that right! At PUMA, it’s not only possible, it’s happening — and with serious success! Silvia and Twan both crushed the Pro Doubles at HYROX Worlds — and each walked away with a new personal best!
We could describe the vibe… but it’s better you feel it! Roll the tape! 🎬 Feel the race come alive! 🔥
To get the overall HYRO experience watch the full recap here.
From the early wake-up call to the start line and all the way to the finish — Sylvia and Twan take us through every thought and feeling along the way:
Twan Nieboer
Sales Operations Manager (PUMA Benelux Leusden)
Silvia Gambino
Manager Racewear Graphic and Design (PUMA Italia, Torino)
And what’s next?
As they say — after the race is before the race. When asked whether it’s time to recover or go straight to the next goal, both had the same clear answer: Straight to the next goal!! 🔥
Silvia is heading to the Ironman in Nice, while Twan is jumping into his first CrossFit competition at the Change Games. 🥵
Thinking about trying HYROX yourself?
Maybe we sparked your interest? Silvia and Twan have some first-hand tips for anyone looking to dive in:
Just sign up! Don’t overestimate HYROX. Just two years ago, I was a skinny guy who had never touched a weight. Now I’m competing with the best in the world. If I can make it to the World Championships, you can definitely crush your first HYROX!
Also - don’t train too hard. Focus on steady progress instead of going all-out every session. HYROX is more about endurance than strength, so build your engine slowly rather than just hitting high intensity all the time.
Start running 🤪 You actually make up time on the 8K run!
Maybe next year, we’ll be writing about you! 🤪
