Industry News 📰

Hyrox Sold to an L Catterton-Led Group at a Reported ~$700M Valuation

Infront Sports & Media sold its majority stake in Hyrox to a consortium led by L Catterton, with co-founders Christian Toetzke and Moritz Fürste staying on as partners. Terms weren't disclosed; Bloomberg had previously reported a valuation of roughly €600M (~$697M). Hyrox expects more than 2 million athletes in the 2026/27 season. Hybrid racing is now a category serious money is betting on. Coaches who can program for it, and gyms that offer it, are positioned for where members are headed.

The government just cut its job-growth forecast for trainers

The latest BLS numbers put the median annual wage for fitness trainers and instructors at $47,160 as of May 2025, with employment projected to grow 7% from 2025 to 2035. That's still faster than average, but it's down from the prior forecast, which projected 12% growth from 2024 to 2034 on a median of $46,180. The takeaway: pay is inching up while projected demand growth is cooling, so the best coaches will get more selective about where they work.

GLP-1 users are exercising less, and that's an opening for coaches

A study presented at ENDO 2026 found that adults losing weight on GLP-1 medications significantly decreased their physical activity, even though these drugs reduce lean muscle along with fat. Meanwhile, one industry tracker reports 13.2% of U.S. adults have now taken a GLP-1, and 23 fitness clubs have launched GLP-1-related programs as of July 2026. The takeaway: members on these meds need strength training to protect muscle, and many aren't getting it. Coaches who can program for this group have an underserved market.
