And then there's an amount that's going to help you to perform at the highest levels of human performance," Molloy, who works with Olympians and professional CrossFit athletes, said. Molloy said many elite athletes essentially trade long-term health for elite performance, experiences, and, in some sports, "a boatload of money."

☆ Peloton's demise is another in a long line of failed fitness fads

Peloton isn't going under imminently, but let's be real here: No fitness fad lasts forever. While there was a lot that went wrong, the long and short of it is that Peloton failed to read the room on its pandemic popularity. "It's not that Peloton isn't a good business model; it's that it simply isn't a mass product but more of a niche, luxe one," she said. Investors have soured on the company, and Peloton's once $50 billion market cap has fallen to under $2 billion. It also has to contend with the gym, which has all sorts of classes and fitness equipment that let people mix things up, including, in many cases, Pelotons or other connected-fitness devices.

The men in the starting line at Hyrox in Berlin in April practically hummed with nervous enthusiasm. A booming voice intoned a rallying cry, “This is the moment you’ve been training for!” Lights twinkled. For the founders of the fitness race Hyrox, Christian Toetzke, 55, and Moritz Furste, 39, this kind of kitschy spectacle was always part of the plan. The original brief, when they introduced the race in Hamburg, Germany in 2017, was “to create an event that is a 200,000-euro (about $214,000) production that looks like a 2,000,000-euro ($2,144,000) production,” Mr. Furste said. Hyrox’s “modern entertainment and light effects create a very special feeling,” Mr. Toetzke said, one that he hopes will create a “new proposition for mass participation events.”
