Something hurts mid training block.
Do you push through? Or shut down completely?
Most athletes do one or the other.
Neither is the right answer.
Swipe through for the framework we use with every athlete when pain shows up during training.
Comment FRAMEWORK below and we'll send you more info on our framework!
Alejandra came in with knee pain and one big fear.
That she’d have to stop.
Stop running. Stop training. Stop showing up to the @manakoafitness community and the sport she’d built her life around.
She didn’t know if pushing through was making things worse. But stopping felt like losing something she’d worked too hard to give up.
She came to see us - turns out she didn’t need to stop training and stop showing up. She kept building.
And at her last Hyrox in Miami earlier this month?
Painfree and a 5 minute PR.
If you’re dealing with something similar - pain that’s making you second-guess every workout, let’s talk.

Feel like something’s wrong with your body... but not sure what?
If your body’s been feeling off, stiff, or just not moving the way it used to — you’re not alone, and you’re not broken.
This is what your first session at Forward Physio looks like:
🧠 A real conversation about your story
👣 A movement assessment that actually makes sense
💪 Hands-on treatment with clear, personalized next steps
If you’ve already tried rest, ice, stretching, or YouTube fixes without real answers — it’s time for something more intentional.
💬 DM us “First Session” to get started. We’ll guide you from day one.
starting to get good at this whole recovery thing 🤝

recovering from my lifts has never been better. weekly dry needling and corrective exercise has been an absolutely game changer this prep

The sled push isn’t a cardio station. It’s a leg drive station.
The athletes who move it well aren’t just stronger - they’re training the right pattern.
Glute step ups are one of the best ways to build that specific strength.
Heel drive. Full hip extension at the top.
That’s the movement.
If you’re racing in Tampa, don’t let an injury or pain stop your training momentum.

Wall balls late in a Hyrox race are a different exercise entirely.
Your squat depth suffers. Your shoulders fatigue. Your rhythm breaks.
The dumbbell squat press trains both demands in one movement.
Sit deep. Drive up. Reach overhead. Control the descent.
It builds the bottom position and overhead endurance wall balls demand at the same time.
If you’re dealing with knee or shoulder pain during this Hyrox station, comment “Wall Balls” below and we’ll help you overcome it.
Most people treat the SkiErg like a cardio machine. It’s not.
It’s a lat exercise - and if your lats aren’t doing the work, your arms will give out before your lungs do.
The fix is simple: train your lats to actually initiate the pull.
Cable pullovers are one of the best ways to build that pattern.
Hinge forward, drive down from the lats, control the return.
That’s your SkiErg stroke.
Do that consistently, and race day feels different.
Save this for your next Hyrox workout and comment “SKI” below if something feels off during your Hyrox training.
