Set to perform: Nicky’s HYROX journey

“What started as recovery has become a pursuit of World Champs qualification. I’m in the best shape I’ve ever been.”

When Nicky first walked into Bodyset, she wasn’t chasing a personal best — she was chasing pain relief.

Training consistently 3–4 times a week, she began to experience chronic shoulder pain every time she lifted overhead. A referral to a consultant revealed impingement syndrome and AC joint arthritis in her left shoulder. Treatment included a steroid injection, followed by physiotherapy to rebuild strength in her rotator cuff.

But Nicky wasn’t just focused on recovery — she had a goal. “I set Bodyset the challenge of getting me ready for my first HYROX mixed doubles in Barcelona.”

Working with Bodyset physiotherapist Nadine, Nicky started a rehab plan tailored not just to healing — but to performance. Every session helped her build strength, restore movement and train smarter.

“Their expert care not only relieved my pain — allowing me to perform wall balls with a 6kg ball for the first time since my injury — but also helped us complete the race in 1 hour 10 minutes, something we did not expect.”

Motivated by the comeback, Nicky entered HYROX Riga just one month later — and beat her time by 5 minutes, finishing in 1:05 and narrowly missing out on qualifying for the HYROX World Championships in her age group.

Now, with three more races lined up this year, Nicky is all in.

“What started as recovery has become a pursuit of World Champs qualification. I’m in the best shape I’ve ever been.”

And we’re staying with her every step of the way. “Bodyset is now a key part of my training routine — I couldn’t stay this active without them.”

At Bodyset, we don’t just treat injuries — we build performance from the ground up. Because prehab is just as powerful as rehab when you’re training for something as tough as HYROX.

Let’s get you moving better, feeling stronger and set to go all in.
