Raising the standard of HYROX coaching at CFM

We’re incredibly proud to announce that CFM Functional Training coach Ash Badcock has achieved his HYROX Academy Level 2 – Mastering Performance qualification.

This is a huge achievement for Ash and an exciting milestone for CFM.

HYROX continues to grow rapidly around the world, combining running with functional fitness movements to create a unique and demanding fitness race. As the sport continues to evolve, so does the importance of having coaches who understand not just how to put together a tough workout, but how to properly prepare athletes for the demands of HYROX.

That’s where Ash’s new qualification comes in.

A Qualification That Sets Ash Apart

The HYROX Academy offers a structured coaching pathway, including its Foundation, Level 1 and Level 2 courses. Level 2, Mastering Performance, is focused on taking coaching knowledge and performance programming to a higher level.

Achieving Level 2 is not something every HYROX coach has. In fact, HYROX’s official coach directory identifies Level 2 coaches specifically as HYROX Performance Coaches, making this an impressive qualification to add to Ash’s coaching credentials.

For CFM, it means our members have access to a coach who has taken the time to further his education and specialise in the demands of HYROX performance.

What Does This Mean for CFM Members?

For anyone training for HYROX at CFM, Ash’s qualification means even more knowledge and experience behind your training.

HYROX requires more than simply being fit. Athletes need to develop:

Running efficiency and endurance
Strength and power
Movement efficiency
Pacing strategies
Work capacity
Exercise technique
The ability to transition between running and functional stations
The mental resilience required to perform under fatigue

Having a coach who understands how these elements work together allows training to become more purposeful and specific.

Whether you're preparing for your first HYROX, chasing a new personal best, competing in Doubles or looking to take your performance to the next level, Ash can bring that specialised knowledge into your training.

More Than Just a Qualification

At CFM, we believe great coaching is about continually learning.

A qualification isn't just a certificate on the wall. It's about taking that knowledge and using it to make our members better, stronger and more confident.

Ash has always been passionate about training and helping people improve, and this qualification is another step in his development as a coach.We're excited to see him bring that knowledge into CFM and continue helping our HYROX community improve.
