What started as a vision is now a community I’m incredibly proud of. Playground exists because of the people who walk through these doors and choose to show up, not just for themselves, but for each other.

I’m endlessly grateful for this community. For the early mornings, the late nights, the shared suffering, the laughs between sets, and the people who show up even when life is heavy. You don’t just train hard, you support harder.

This space is built by people who believe in each other. Who celebrate wins, carry each other through setbacks, and choose consistency over comfort. Thank you for trusting us, pushing each other, and making Playground feel like home.

This is bigger than fitness. This is community. ♥️♥️♥️

𝐁𝐈𝐆 𝐒𝐇𝐎𝐔𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐓 𝐓𝐎 𝐊𝐀𝐑𝐈𝐌 and his Duo’s Partner Alex for doing such an incredible job in Dallas. He represented Playground so well.

They did 𝟷:𝟶𝟺:𝟹𝟽 on their first duos race and they’re just getting started.

Come check out Karim in Vancouver next week as he goes for his first Men’s Open Solo Race.

Playground Community: we would love to hear your stories. Send us a DM and we would love to highlight any of your races, accomplishments, even projects and non-Hyrox activities.

The heart, teamwork, and passion on display were incredible to witness. What this crew showed in Toronto went far beyond competition. 𝐢𝐭 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐩𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲.

Podium or not, the camaraderie, love, and support between these athletes and from everyone around them, was something special to see.

🔥 M𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐁𝐚𝐫𝐛𝐞𝐥𝐥 𝐀𝐛 𝐑𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐮𝐭! 🔥

Want to build serious core strength and stability? The barbell ab rollout is a next-level move that targets multiple muscle groups:

💪 𝐌𝐮𝐬𝐜𝐥𝐞𝐬 𝗪𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐞𝐝:
👉 𝐂𝐨𝐫𝐞 (𝘳𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘶𝘴 𝘢𝘣𝘥𝘰𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘴, 𝘰𝘣𝘭𝘪𝘲𝘶𝘦𝘴, 𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘴𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘦 𝘢𝘣𝘥𝘰𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘴)
👉 𝐋𝐚𝐭𝐬 (𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘮𝘶𝘴 𝘥𝘰𝘳𝘴𝘪)
👉 𝐒𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬 (𝘥𝘦𝘭𝘵𝘰𝘪𝘥𝘴)
👉 𝐋𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫 𝐁𝐚𝐜𝐤 (𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘰𝘳 𝘴𝘱𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘦)
👉 𝐇𝐢𝐩𝐬 (𝘩𝘪𝘱 𝘧𝘭𝘦𝘹𝘰𝘳𝘴)

𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐨 𝐃𝐨 𝐈𝐭:
✅ Set up: Load a barbell with plates and get on your knees.
✅ Grip: Keep your hands shoulder-width apart.
✅ Roll out: Slowly extend the bar forward, keeping your core braced and back straight.
✅ Controlled return: Engage your core to pull the bar back to the starting position.

💡 Pro Tip: Keep your hips from sagging and avoid arching your back—focus on control!

🔥 Tag a friend who needs to level up their core game! 👊💯  

Just a little competition.
