A MESSAGE FROM SWOLVERINE

Training hard? Make sure you’re recovering harder.

You're tracking PRs, macros, and sleep scores, but gut health, immunity, and micronutrient status are the quiet factors that decide whether all that effort actually pays off.

Swolverine's Wellness Stack helps you build a custom recovery foundation from Greens+Reds, a Multivitamin, Probiotics, Omega-3s, Magnesium, and more, so you can close the gaps your training and diet leave behind.

Mix and match to fit your needs, save up to 30% when you bundle three or more, and stack an extra 15% off with a subscription.

This is for athletes who treat recovery as part of the program, not an afterthought.

The second XENOM event kicks off in the UK this Saturday at Olympia London, with world records on the line in the elite division.

Albania’s Siria Meha, who finished 12th at last month’s CrossFit Games, and 2026 CrossFit Games rookie Ireland’s Holly Tynan will both be chasing Abbie Domit’s world record, set at the inaugural XENOM at The Star in Dallas, TX, in June. 

Other notable athletes competing in the elite division at XENOM London this Saturday and Sunday are:

  • 2014 CrossFit Games champion Sam Briggs

  • 2026 35-39-year-old division CrossFit Games competitor Curtis Dixon

  • 2026 CrossFit Games team competitors Sam Dell, Helen Nutter and Joseph Hurley

Remind Me

Domit earned 8,076 points at the first Decathlon of Fitness™ in Dallas, while Jack Farlow won the men’s division with 7,688 points and became the first men’s world record holder.

If these records fall on the weekend in London, the record breaker will earn $10,000. If they don’t, half the pot, $5,000, will carry over to the next XENOM event in Miami, FL, in December.
