Atalanta

On this week’s episode, we’re joined by CrossFit Games athlete Holly Tynan. Holly finished 17th at this year’s Games, becoming the highest-placing female rookie.

We talk through Holly’s journey to the Games — from previous injury, to the qualification process, and how she secured her spot at her first CrossFit Games a year earlier than expected.

We get to hear first-hand what it’s like competing at the Ranch and in the Coliseum alongside the best athletes in the world. Holly shares her favourite moments, lessons learned and top tips for competing across back-to-back events.

This is a great episode which we LOVED recording. Holly lives just down the road from us, so getting to sit down in person over a cuppa made it even better.

A top girl, incredible athlete and very humble human — we hope you enjoy listening. Thanks, Holly! ❤️

This week we’re joined by Camille Grimes — coach, athlete and co-owner of Phase 7 alongside Lauren Calvert.

Camille takes us through her journey from working in construction to becoming a full-time coach, discovering HYROX before it exploded, and building the community that would eventually become Phase 7.

We chat about creating the growth of Phase 7, the infamous Death Camps and track sessions, the challenges of building a business, and why community has always been at the heart of what she does.

Camille also shares her thoughts on coaching, the pressure to compete as a coach, rebuilding fitness after time away, and the importance of not letting other people tell you what you can and can’t do. A proper honest, funny and inspiring chat with a woman who has built something pretty special.

This week on the Atalanta Podcast, we’re joined by Amelia Ellery (@meelspt) and Lauren Harris (@loz_visuals) — two women who have carved out their own space in the fitness, hybrid and content world.

Amelia is an online coach specialising in strength, running and HYROX, while Lauren is the photographer and videographer behind Loz Visuals, creating content for athletes, brands and events around the world.

We chat about how their careers have evolved, from Amelia building an online coaching business and community, to Lauren turning what started as filming a HYROX race on an iPhone into a full-time career behind the camera.

We get into the reality of working and travelling together, how their different personalities and skill sets complement each other, the growing demand for content in the hybrid fitness space, and what actually goes on behind the scenes at a race weekend.

We also talk about creating content for women, why having more female videographers in sport matters, the importance of community, taking opportunities when they come your way, and why sometimes you just have to say yes and figure the rest out later.

A really honest conversation about building careers that fit your life, taking risks, and creating your own opportunities.

This week we’re joined by Emilie Dahmen — Elite 15 athlete, Nike athlete and 7th place finisher at the 2026 HYROX World Championships.

We catch up with Emilie after a huge season that saw her qualify for the Elite 15 at the final opportunity in Warsaw before going on to finish 7th at Worlds in Stockholm.

We talk about the pressure of qualifying, racing with the expectation of knowing you should be there, and how Emilie learned to trust her own race rather than getting caught up in what everyone else was doing.

We also get into life as a Nike athlete, the team now behind her training, why she chose to take a longer off-season, and what she’s working on to find the next few minutes in her performance.

With more strength to build, running to improve and big goals in mind, Emilie is just getting started.

This week we're joined by Hannah Heggarty — HYROX athlete & ambassador and coach at Elation Gym. Hannah shares her journey from studying sports coaching and working in a leisure centre to taking the leap into self-employed coaching, joining Elation Gym and discovering HYROX.

We chat about her first HYROX, going from taking nearly 90 minutes in her first race to a podium finish in Valencia, racing singles, doubles and mixed doubles, and the pressure that came with getting better and wanting to constantly chase the next PB.

Hannah opens up about losing some of the enjoyment in training and racing, putting too much pressure on herself, and the mindset shift that helped her find the fun again.

We also dive into her experience completing a backyard ultra — covering 140km over 21 hours — what she ate to keep herself going, and how her HYROX experience helped her mentally when things got tough.

Alongside her own training, Hannah talks about coaching women, working with mums and why she believes there's no need to rush back to the gym after having a baby. We also discuss nutrition, fuelling, confidence and the importance of not comparing yourself to what you see on social media.

A really honest conversation about finding balance, backing yourself and remembering why you started in the first place.
