A CrossFitters Clear Answer."},"content":{"rendered":"\n

Have seen this slapped over T-shirts, hashtags and other mediums wondering what is that?<\/strong><\/em> It has a very simple meaning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

HWPO is a 4-lettered acronym standing for Hard Work Pays Off<\/em>, popularised by 5x CrossFit Games champion Mat Fraser. Whether he actually originated this mantra is debated, but he – with the help of sporting giant Nike – proliferated it throughout the CrossFit and fitness space. It’s a simple punchy saying, ascribing that hard work gets results, substantiated by his 5x Fittest on Earth titles.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sponsorship<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Nike Training is a sub-category of the name brand Nike. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is one of Fraser’s sponsors and they are the makers of the shoe the MetCon. HWPO has also now become a CrossFit brand in its own right. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the 4th of June 2018, Fraser’s shoe came out the Nike MetCon 4<\/a> with his mantra HWPO on the innersole.<\/p>\n\n\n

Mum, I made it!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It is no doubt that is global giants Nike are going to attribute a shoe just for you, then you’ve accomplished something great and have some serious clout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The mantra resonates with many people. It’s simple and effective. Not just in the gym, but in all aspects of life. It’s akin to “reap what you sow”<\/em>, or “get out what you put in”.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

All of us love to feel a sense of accomplishment. If it’s working out how to build something; maybe learning a new language; perhaps doing Double Under skips is your target? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All these things are worthwhile endeavours and varying in nature. Yet this simple mantra can apply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Furthermore, Mat Fraser is the 5x Fittest on Earth. So if it works for him, surely this motto has validation using that metric alone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The two circles on each heel represent the two first-place medals Fraser earned at the highest level of global competitive fitness, and nods toward his goal of a three-peat. The letters \u201cHWPO,” which stands for “hard work pays off” and is Fraser’s personal mantra, line the insole.<\/em><\/p>Nike Training<\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

What’s Mat Fraser Doing Now? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Although retired from the competition side of the sport, he’s busier than ever. Probably training a lot less, however business is now a priority, as he started new ventures since announcing ‘retirement’.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In February 2021, he formally announced he would be retiring from competing after winning The CrossFit Games five times. This was suspected amongst the community as there were various hints before this. The rumour mill was rife. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What he would go on to do remained a mystery, and he kept this under wraps until it was ready to launch. He since divulged what he’s been up to behind the scenes after being interviewed on podcasts YouTube and other interviews. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Loose lipped<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The interview<\/a> by Joe Rogan gave an interesting insight, as often Rogen does in his disarming and conversational-like manner. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One part of his business is the programming aspect of HWPO, which is now utilising a standalone app FitR<\/a> and adding features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coaching a super-rookie <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

According to Morning Chalk Up<\/a> Fraser and Jake Marconi are coaching Mallory O’Brien who is proving to be one heck of a rookie, come Games Athlete. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

She had a very strong 2nd place finish, only 113 points behind 1st place Tia Claire-Toomey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Secrets unveiled<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Mat Fraser was well known to keep all his training methods a secret when competing in The CrossFit Games each year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

His proclamation when retiring is that he would make all his secrets public domain<\/strong>, so everyone and anyone can benefit from what he did to earn his stripes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was also part of his marketing ploy which has seemed to work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Buy Mat Fraser’s Book – HWPO<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Best Gym Hacks provided an article that the best books Every CrossFitter<\/a> should read. We featured Mat Frasers Hard Work Pays Off book, as of course, it is right up there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is not a series of memoirs as many CrossFitting authored books are. This is geared towards training. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can find the link to his book here<\/a>, which is well worth a read. There’s much we can glean from Fraser in his writings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He did a stint as an intern at an aerospace company as an engineer. So with an engineer’s mind, he can apply logic and reason to training, which provided significant results. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So this infers you are in safe hands if you’re interested in progressing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They all have a 14-day free trial, except HWPO Pro. <\/strong>On that basis they’re worth trying out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

HWPO Pro<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

This program<\/a> is aimed at Elite athletes and is closed for new candidates for parts of the year. In the lead-up to The Crossfit Games, it will close down for entrants<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It then reopens in Autumn \/ Fall, after the Crossfit Games season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The reason for this is to allow those athletes on the Pro Program to have ample time to follow the programming to optimise results and outcome. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can still register interest during Games season on the website. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
