At 74 years old, Annie Reid has earned her place at the HYROX World Championships in Stockholm, calling it a “once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.”

After completing HYROX London in 2:11:56, Annie qualified for Worlds following months of structured, age-appropriate training — proving that consistency, belief, and smart preparation matter at every stage of life.

From first HYROX start line to the world stage — an inspiring reminder of what’s possible.

This morning we had BBC Radio Suffolk visit the studio to interview Annie and Vicky, shining a light on Annie’s journey and the thinking behind her training.

The conversation went beyond races and results. It focused on ageing well, building physical resilience, and why staying curious about what your body can do is one of the most powerful tools we have as we get older.

Annie trains with a simple philosophy:
not to compete with others, but to stay strong, capable, and independent for as long as possible.

Every session, every rep, an investment in her future health.

We’re incredibly grateful to BBC Radio Suffolk for giving space to a story that challenges assumptions and encourages people of all ages to rethink what’s possible.

Last night, Annie’s journey reached living rooms across the county on ITV News - and the response has been incredible!

What makes this moment so special isn’t just a race completed or a championship qualification. It’s the conversation it sparks:
about ageing well, about physical resilience, and about what’s possible when you maintain a curiosity for what your body can do.

Annie doesn’t train to beat anyone else. She trains to stay strong, capable, and independent for as long as possible.

“Every rep is paying into my health pension.”

This is why we coach the way we do. And this is exactly the message we’re proud to stand behind.

Thank you to ITV News for helping share a story that truly matters. ✨

✨🎥 A VERY SPECIAL DAY AT THE STUDIO 🎥✨

Today we had the absolute pleasure of welcoming ITV News into the studio to shine a light on Annie and her incredible journey.

They spent time interviewing Annie and us, sharing the story behind her HYROX journey - from where she started, to completing her first Singles race at 74, and now qualifying for the HYROX World Championships.

We’re incredibly grateful for the opportunity to showcase not just an amazing physical achievement, but the message behind it:

that strength has no age limit, and that investing in your health now pays dividends for decades to come.

Annie’s philosophy says it all - Every rep, every session, every small step adding up to a stronger future.

🎥📺 The piece goes live tonight on ITV News 🤩

Thank you to ITV News for giving this story a platform.

We’re so proud to be part of Annie’s journey - and to help share what’s truly possible when people are supported, consistent, and brave enough to try. ✨

✨ANNIE’S HYROX JOURNEY CONTINUES ✨

Since completing her first-ever HYROX Singles race, Annie received an email that stopped us all in our tracks.

She has officially qualified for the HYROX World Championships 2026
…and has been invited to compete in Stockholm.

At 74 years young.

Last week, Annie came in to sit down with us, talk it through, and map out what this next chapter could look like. After thoughtful consideration, she said yes.

After Christmas, we’ll be dialling in her training towards the World Championships - and of course, as her coaches, we’ll be flying out to Stockholm to support her every step of the way. 🇸🇪✈️

We couldn’t be prouder to be part of this journey.

What makes Annie’s story so powerful isn’t placings or comparisons. Her motto says it all:
“Complete, rather than compete.”

This is a deeply personal journey - about testing her own limits, staying curious about what her body is capable of, and continuing to invest in her future health.

Annie often says:
“Every rep of every exercise is paying into my health pension.”

She’s doing the work now so she can continue to do more - not just next year, but for decades to come.

We absolutely adore the message this sends.
Strength has no age limit.
It’s never too late to begin.
And the goal doesn’t have to be to beat anyone else - just to keep moving forward.

Stockholm, here we come 🤩💪

✨ANNIE’S HYROX STORY✨

Meet Annie - 74 years young, endlessly determined and now officially a HYROX Singles finisher after completing her FIRST EVER HYROX race last Friday. 💥

Here’s the thing; although Annie’s been a keen gym goer for some time, the combined strength, running, & endurance requirements of something like a Hyrox made this goal a serious challenge! Where she is now is not where she was at the start of the year. She decided to test herself – and wow, what a journey it’s been.

And she smashed it. 🎉

With an incredible time of 2 hours and 11 minutes – although truthfully, just finishing it at all is an enormous achievement.

But Annie didn’t just grind through it. We’ve been working with her all year to ensure she’d be in the best possible position to excel – and that’s exactly what she did.

She tackled every station, every run, every challenge with pure stoicism and unwavering determination, achieving the enormous goal she set for herself.

And the best part?
Just days later, she’s already locking in her next targets.🎯

For anyone unfamiliar with Hyrox, it’s one of the world’s fastest-growing fitness competitions – a unique blend of strength & endurance. Competitors complete 8 physical challenges, each separated by a 1 km run.

It’s a serious physical challenge at any age – which makes Annie’s achievement even more extraordinary.

Based on everything we’ve been able to find, Annie is likely one of the oldest women globally ever to compete in the HYROX Singles category.

Not only is this an incredible personal milestone for her… it’s a powerful reminder of why we do what we do – helping people build strength, confidence, resilience, and the ability to keep doing the things they love for decades to come.

We are unbelievably proud to be part of her journey. 😊🤩

Let me ask you something...

You know that feeling where you promise yourself you’ll train three times a week, eat better, drink more water… and then suddenly it’s Friday and you’ve done none of it?


Yeah, you’re not the only one.

Consistency is one of the biggest things people struggle with. Not because they’re lazy or unmotivated, but because life is messy and trying to figure it all out on your own is exhausting.

Most people don’t need another “grind harder” speech. They need a bit of structure, some accountability, and a plan that actually fits into their life.

Here’s one thing that helps:

Lower the bar.

No, seriously. Most people fall off track because they set the bar so high they can’t hit it consistently. So they miss one session, feel guilty, and then ghost their whole routine. Or they have one “bad” meal and dive face first into the biscuit cupboard.

Instead, build a “bare minimum” version of your week. Something you can do even when life is busy.

That might be one short workout and hitting your protein target most days. Not perfect, but way better than falling off completely. And it keeps the habit alive.

If you want help building a routine that actually works for your life (not against it), we have a handful of coaching spaces opening soon.

If you’ve been thinking about getting started or need some support, now’s a good time to act.

To make your first steps even easier, for a limited time we are offering 20% off your first month when signing up for a minimum of 3 months.

Feel free to reach out and one of our team will be happy to discuss options with you.

Your body is like a bridge, but is it built to last?

Let me explain…

Bridges are engineered with precision to be resilient; to withstand pressure, weather, and time. Your body should be too.

As we age, poor posture, weak muscles, and joint instability begin to break down the “structure” of our bodies.

The result?..

Pain, poor mobility, and limited independence.

That’s why we focus on foundational strength, joint stability, and movements tailored to your unique body.

Think of it as reinforcing your bridge for decades to come. 🧱🛠️

If you’ve felt like your body is buckling under everyday tasks, it doesn’t have to be that way.

Feel free to reach out and one of our team will be happy to discuss options with you.

📏 Progress starts with what you can measure.

💡 You can’t optimise what you can’t quantify.

At E3 Fitness, every training programme starts with understanding you.

This is just one of the tools we use to measure and assess:
📈 Range of motion across key joints
💪 Muscle strength and force output in various positions

By analysing this data, we can start to identify:
🔍 Movement limitations
🔍 Imbalances or compensations
🔍 Areas that need targeted attention

But assessments can tell us even more. They can:
✅ Show your current status and baseline
✅ Help predict potential injury risks
✅ Highlight exactly what you need to work on
✅ Demonstrate your progression over time
✅ Reveal movement opportunities available

It’s not just about spotting “weak spots” – it’s about mapping your body’s unique movement profile so we can design training that’s precise, effective, and truly personalised.

Your body is unique. Your training should be too.

At our private studio, we help you move better, feel stronger, and perform with confidence, all in a welcoming, non-judgemental environment.

💥 Experience the difference for yourself. Join our waiting list today and let’s talk about your goals.
