The W in WTF
Brings the style, the moustache and a quiet belief that hip flexibility is optional.
Est. age 50
Four fifty-year-olds. One HYROX relay. Absolutely no intention of acting our age.

…until we find out whether Steve was right about all of this.
WTF, Steve?!
Why the name?
William, Tony and Frank had a group called WTF, after the first letters of our names. Innocent enough.
Then, after a dinner involving copious amounts of Moutai, we decided to take on HYROX with Steve. Steve is by far the fittest of us, and would regale us with incredible feats of fitness. There was only ever one reply:
“WTF, Steve!!!”
And the rest is history. Now we’re turning 50 into the fittest chapter yet, and taking you along for the ride.
The crew
The W in WTF
Brings the style, the moustache and a quiet belief that hip flexibility is optional.
The T in WTF
Mostly training so Steve stops sending him screenshots of his watch.
The F in WTF
The one who registered the domain. Currently negotiating with his knees.
The reason we say WTF
By far the fittest of us. Casually mentions feats of fitness that make the rest of us put our drinks down.
The race
HYROX is a fitness race: eight 1 km runs, each followed by a workout station. In the relay, the four of us split it between us: each of us runs two kilometres and takes on two stations. Here’s who’s doing what (Tony drew the sled push).

The mission
Train for real events and show up for each other, especially on the days we'd rather not.
Share the journey honestly: the training, the setbacks, the wins and the ice baths.
Living fully doesn't stop at 50. Middle age is a number, not a reason.
Where we can, we'll turn events into fundraisers for causes we care about.
