MILPITAS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Amazfit, a leading global smart wearable brand by Zepp Health (NYSE: ZEPP), today is excited to announce that HYROX champions Meg Jacoby and Hunter McIntyre have been added to Amazfit’s growing roster of international athletes.
This follows the recent announcement that Zepp Health’s Amazfit was named the Official Wearable Partner & Timekeeper of HYROX, the World Series of Fitness Racing, a Time 100 Most Influential Company. HYROX reaches over 300,000 participants per season across Europe and the US.
HYROX is a functional fitness race that involves an eight-kilometer (almost five-mile) run interspersed with eight workout stations. Each station requires participants to perform different exercises - SkiErg, sled push, sled pull, burpee broad jumps, rowing, farmer’s carry, sandbag lunges, and wall balls. Competitors can participate individually or in teams, with race formats remaining consistent regardless of age or ability.
Meg Jacoby, the newly crowned world champion, made history at the World Championships in Nice, France, by becoming the first woman to complete a HYROX race in under one hour. She relies on the Amazfit Cheetah Pro smartwatch to enhance her training and performance. Similarly, Hunter McIntyre, a three-time HYROX world champion and holder of multiple obstacle course racing titles, counts on the rugged Amazfit T-Rex series, built with military-grade materials, for his competitions and adventures.

Amazfit’s smartwatches offer top-tier innovation, with the Cheetah series leading the pack. Designed with industry-leading GPS and AI-driven training programs, these watches help athletes train smarter and achieve their performance goals.

Redefining Athletic Recovery
Beyond performance, Amazfit wearables also prioritize recovery. The Readiness feature in both the Cheetah series and the newly launched Amazfit Helio Ring gives athletes personalized insights into their physical and mental state, enabling them to manage their recovery as strategically as they manage their training.
Hunter McIntyre’s Essential Gear
Hunter McIntyre relies on the Amazfit T-Rex series of smartwatches built for extreme conditions with precise GPS, offline maps, and a dedicated HYROX mode. It’s the perfect companion for athletes who push the boundaries of adventure and endurance, just like McIntyre.
