Could fear of judgment be stopping more people from getting healthier than lack of motivation?

HYROX has exploded globally as one of the fastest-growing fitness races in the world, combining running and functional workout stations into an accessible challenge for everyday people.

Yet behind the rise of fitness culture sits a quieter reality: many people are too intimidated to even start. 

Africa Melane is joined by fitness enthusiast and mental wellness coach Liezel van der Westhuizen, who recently returned from Hong Kong where she volunteered as a HYROX judge before completing her own mixed doubles event. 

Early Breakfast with Africa Melane is 702’s and CapeTalk’s early morning talk show. 

Experienced broadcaster Africa Melane brings you early morning news, sports, and business, with in-depth interviews featuring politicians and analysts to help make sense of the world. He also enjoys conversations with guests from the lifestyle and arts spheres.

Thank you for listening.
