NRTH

NRTH is adaptive training for hybrid athletes, built around a community that keeps you accountable. Your plan responds to every session you log, and the people you train with are right there to push you on. Your training lives in Blocks: Endurance, Strength, Weight Optimisation, Skill and Mobility. Choose the ones you want and NRTH builds your week around them, then adapts as you go. Lifts progress, core holds build, and your runs anchor to paces from your real race times. Whether you're laying down your first base or chasing a Hyrox podium, the plan scales to where you are and gets harder as you do. Every athlete gets a unique @handle, your identity across the app and a shareable link to your profile, with your training, challenges and milestones all in one place. The supporter feed brings your people's training together too: their workouts, milestones and 15-second challenge clips, all in NRTH's card style. Respect and comment on what they do, get a notification when someone supports you back, and keep each other going. You stay in control of what you share. Weight and life-context are private by default, and everything else is your call, kept to yourself or shown off to the NRTH community. Start training for free, and with NRTH Pro when you want more.
