Hyrox CEO Christian Toetzke, who previously founded and sold a cycling event company, has returned to entrepreneurship with Hyrox, a growing fitness event brand. His company stages races that blend running with rigorous workouts, designed for mass participation. Toetzke argues that large corporations stifle creativity with their lengthy decision-making processes, making startups more conducive to innovation. Excited about shaping his vision, he expresses that his entrepreneurial journey feels less like work and more like a daily adventure fulfilling his passion for sports.
Toetzke believes that 'big ideas just do not happen at big corporations' because the lengthy decision-making processes stifle innovation and creativity, making small startups essential for original concepts.
Reflecting on his journey, Toetzke considers his role at Hyrox not as 'work' but as a fulfilling endeavor where every day brings new challenges and opportunities for creativity.
His entrepreneurial spirit was ignited after just six months at an advertising agency, leading him to create a successful cycling event, proving his ability to innovate.
Toetzke now sees Hyrox as a platform to build a mass participation sports event that combines running and fitness, reflecting his passion and dedication to sports.
