Dominic Odell
TRAINER
I have been a coach and personal trainer for 8 years. I am now also Head of Spartan endurance in the U.K. and work for Spartan all over the world. My personal philosophy on training and life is that you get out what you put in. If your consistent the hard work shows. If your not then you won’t achieve your goals. I have always lead by example and from the front. In the events I lead I want people to know I have been there and done as for me this gets the greatest respect. If I’m asking someone to backwards bear crawl up a steep incline after doing hydro burpees, I want them to know I have done it or something similar. Same goes with training I’m not going to throw together a training session that I haven’t done myself. I also believe that you should train in the environment you intend to fight in. So if your training for events that you will get cold and wet then your training should mirror this.

Thomas Koller
Director of Hybrid Athlete Programming
I've loved it all my life - sport, in whatever form. I spent my childhood and youth playing athletics, football and especially tennis. In my twenties, Thai boxing was on the professional program. In my thirties, I discovered my love for Crossfit, bodyweight training and calisthenics! I did my first OCR run in 2014, which made me very curious. Many races followed with ever-increasing challenges! These included the usual Spartan Race formats, Trifectas, Ultra Beasts and the popular Spartan Endurance events HH, HH12, HH24/H3X. I've learned a lot, I've continued my education and, most importantly, I've never lost the fire in me! MMA training was added in 2020. I am very versatile, a master at motivating others again and again and like to set an example! One principle in my life has always been - first lead by example and then speak wisely. With this in mind, I founded the Backyard Warriors with some friends in 2020. It's now a great training community with a focus on strength/endurance training. And with the simplest of means. Suitable for everyday use. You can benefit from my decades of expertise - be it the training, nutrition or mindset component!In our Hybrid Athlete program, you will benefit in several areas! But I canpromise you one thing in advance - you will never be afraid of or unable to overcome an obstacle again!
