Press & Speaking
The short version
Hunter McIntyre — "The Sheriff" — is a 3x HYROX World Champion, 6x OCR World Champion, and the most recognizable force in hybrid fitness. He set a world record of 53:22 that stood for more than two years, went undefeated across three seasons of national television, and now builds the category's infrastructure: HAOS Training, BLDR, and the Cresthooch 127.
He has spent over a decade performing with the cameras on — CMT's Steve Austin's Broken Skull Challenge, CBS's Million Dollar Mile, documentary features, and years of podcasts and interviews — and the same decade coaching everyday athletes through the system that built his titles. The résumé is athletic. The job has always been communication.
"The three-time HYROX world champion who turned a decade of professional suffering into a performance system anyone can train inside."

Speaks on
Not a personality trait. How it's trained, tested, and transferred — from world finals to boardrooms.
Why the strength-vs-endurance divide is dead, and what that means for products, programming, and brands.
What a decade of professional discomfort teaches about pressure and performing when it counts.
Building HAOS, BLDR, and Cresthooch 127 — credibility into companies, without renting his name out.
