Faisal Abdalla on HYROX, PMA, and What He’s Learned as a HYROX MC
In this episode of the Rox Lyfe podcast, I’m chatting with Faisal Abdalla. You’ll likely know him as one of the HYROX MCs and the voice you hear at finish lines around the world, but he’s far more than that. Faisal trains hard, races regularly, and recently completed a half Ironman while juggling HYROX events, coaching, and family life. We talk about how he approaches the role, how his PMA philosophy guides him on and off the mic, and the insights he’s gained from watching thousands of athletes race, struggle, and finish right in front of him. We also get into the moments that stand out after years inside the arena, what it takes to give that much energy every weekend, and how he’s built a career that spans Barry’s Bootcamp, coaching, film sets, and some of the biggest HYROX stages in the world. It was a fun and honest chat, and I think you’ll really enjoy it.🔗 Subscribe for more episodes💥 Supporters of this Episode🏅 MyProtein – Affordable, high-quality supplements to support your HYROX training.
