About FTX Hybrid Athletics

FTX Hybrid Athletics, formerly CrossFit L3, has been building high-performing athletes and stronger individuals in Fort Worth since 2013.

What started as a pursuit of excellence in CrossFit has evolved into a complete performance system—blending strength, conditioning, and race-specific training to develop athletes at every level. From first-time gym members to world-level competitors, FTX is built on one principle: results come from elite coaching, consistent effort, and the right environment.

We are not just a gym. We are a performance-driven community.

Our results include:

•    CrossFit Regionals qualifiers
•    Second-stage CrossFit Open athletes
•    4x Junior Texas State Olympic Weightlifting Champions
•    6x USA Olympic Weightlifting Championship Qualifiers (Junior & Senior)
•    10x Spartan Ultra finishers
•    Spartan World Championship qualifiers
•    And since 2021 — consistent dominance in HYROX competition

Our Mission

Our mission is simple: help people become the strongest, most capable version of themselves.

Whether that means losing 20 pounds, building confidence, or qualifying for a world championship, every athlete at FTX receives the same level of attention, structure, and accountability.

We believe:

elite-level programming should be accessible to everyone
coaching matters more than trends
progress is earned through consistency, not shortcuts
community is the foundation of long-term success

Leadership & HYROX Excellence

FTX HYROX is one of the most successful HYROX programs in the world.

Led by Head Coach Talon Smith, the program has helped athletes consistently reach the podium and qualify for world championships. Talon has also coached over 150 athletes across the U.S. through HYROX performance seminars, with multiple athletes earning qualification spots shortly after.

This level of expertise is built directly into the programming our members experience every day.

Built for Every Athlete

At FTX, you don’t need to be elite to train like one.

Our programs are designed to meet you where you are and take you where you want to go. Whether you’re walking in for your first workout or preparing for your next competition, you’ll find structure, accountability, and a community that pushes you forward.

Beyond the Gym

FTX Hybrid Athletics serves athletes both in Fort Worth and around the world through the FTX Hybrid App, delivering the same high-level programming and coaching experience online.

No matter where you train, the standard stays the same.
