Laura Petri and Hyrox launch 11 Femmes: Women redefine fitness and fashion
Eleven women redefine fitness and style in a groundbreaking collaboration between Danish outdoor icon Laura Petri and global fitness phenomenon Hyrox.
A new project titled *"11 Femmes"* brings together 11 women—led by Danish outdoor athlete and influencer Laura Petri—to merge the worlds of high-performance fitness and fashion, as reported by *El Mundo* . The initiative, described as a fusion of Hyrox’s functional fitness competitions and contemporary swimwear design, targets women who balance athletic ambition with style. Petri, whose rise to prominence began during the pandemic after leaving her pharmaceutical career, now serves as the face of Denmark’s outdoor movement, advocating for experimentation and accessibility in sports .
The collaboration highlights Hyrox’s growing appeal among women, a trend underscored by Spanish athlete Raquel Domínguez, who notes that female participants often outlast men in the grueling hybrid races. Hyrox, which blends running with functional exercises like sled pushes and burpees, has surged in popularity, attracting influencers, trainers like Crys Dyaz, and celebrities such as actress María Pedraza . The *"11 Femmes"* project positions itself at this intersection, offering performance-driven swimwear designed to transition seamlessly from training to leisure.
Fashion editor contributions to *El Mundo* reveal the collection’s emphasis on innovation, featuring asymmetrical cuts, metallic finishes, and bold ornamentation—elements that challenge traditional swimwear aesthetics while catering to active lifestyles . The project’s timing aligns with broader cultural shifts, including increased visibility of women over 40 in media, as seen in recent series addressing menopause with unprecedented candor .
While no official launch date has been announced, the collaboration reflects a deliberate effort to celebrate female athleticism and self-expression, bridging gaps between fitness, fashion, and representation. Petri’s involvement signals a strategic push to expand Hyrox’s reach beyond competitive circuits, appealing to a demographic that values both performance and personal style.
