Their content is very tedious, unless you want to watch them spending the day lurking around Third Space. It's comical how much they spend on food in a single day - drinks; multiple lunches; dinner. Multiply that by 7 and they must be spending a fortune each week. They're not even really begging in a committed way at the moment, so no idea what the financial plan is. Their latest video ends with them eating dinner in Angelo's bedroom - pretty tragic regression.

Their response to why they don't meal prep or cook for themselves has actually infuriated me.

They can't spend an hour a day meal prepping or cooking because they're focused on their brand, recovery and training. There are people with real commitments, whether that be childcare or just a 9-5, that get home and cook a meal even though they may be exhausted from work.

But no, Holly and Angelo can't spend an hour a day cooking because they need to make an Instagram reel or focus on "recovery". Can you not "recover" and cook at the same time? Confused at the logic here.

I live in London. They're probably spending roughly £30 per day on food each. They're out her begging for sponsorship and talking about how they need to watch their money while eating £15 salad bowls. How disingenuous and privileged can you get?

hard agree, and if they have time to put together that monstrosity of a dinner, they can make a sandwich.

I work 60hrs/week, and I just make a slightly larger portion for dinner and pop it in a box. It’s truly not as hard as they’re making it out to be

And surely the cooking content would also be stuff they could put online? It's so bizarre and almost infuriating to watch how weird the decisions they make are

if they’re optimising their time to the degree that they can’t cook for themselves, surely travelling and going in multiple long haul flights around the world is also eating into their training time??

All of the above indicate that Holly is still in her majorly rigid thinking patterns. She seems to think there’s only one way things can be done to get to where she wants to be. As people have been saying, cooking a meal in the evening is 100% recovery. All they’d need to do would be to buy a few extra bits in the shops (which they’re already going into for their lunch) to bulk out their meals and hit whatever nutrients it is they’re trying to hit. They can save money AND save time too- Holly seems to thing the two are mutually exclusive, but they’re not.

Also starting to wonder if part of the reason Holly has started eating out is to go along with what is probably more angelos routine? Wouldn’t surprise me if all the day to day planning is initiated by Holly or changes are made by her. I wonder if she doesn’t want to put in that extra tiny bit of effort to lunch plan because Holly would be responsible for angelos every meal. I know they appear to ‘cook’ together, but I can’t help but feel there’s a dynamic behind the scenes with who’s planning what that means they’re not doing food as effectively as they could be.

It‘s not like they really ‘cook’ either. They chop some vegetables, open some cans of chickpeas and chop some tofu. It’s hardly gourmet or time-consuming, and could easily be fitted in.

Maybe now that they are back staying with Angelo’s mum they just want to try to spend as much time out of the house as possible?

The thing is, unless you are a fitness/hyrox addict, the content is now a bit repetitive. And if you are on of these people, they probably aren't the best ones to watch in terms of good advice. I'll probably wait until their next race video to watch anything.

Yeah! I was thinking exactly this, I’ve not watched this week’s video and it really doesn’t sound like it’s giving us anything new so I was also thinking I’d just wait til the race one. I saw the title and just thought that was all the vlogs we’ve seen other than their race ones

Did anyone else catch that they said they're now training on Saturdays too? The only reason they didn't while in Lyon was because their gym wasn't open on Saturdays. Am I right in thinking this means they're now training 7 days a week?! That surely can't be right??!

Her Instagram is not coming up anywhere for me now! Not tagged in any of her sisters instagram pics anymore or angelos, and doesn’t come up at all when you click on @‘s! Wonder whether she’s making a new Instagram from scratch? Or if it’s been deleted….

I might be skeptical, but my first thought was that she disabled it hoping it would drive more engagement and comments over to their joint channel

Couldn't have said it any better myself.

Even if Holly (and highly, highly unlikely but for argument's sake Angelo) make it to the Elite 15, what then? This can't continue forever, and I doubt they're going to get sponsorship because they have 3k subscribers on YouTube. I don't even really know who the audience is for this stuff as if you want Hyrox content (which is niche in itself), I imagine there are other YouTubers you can watch.

When they're in their 30s, what will then do then? Holly's never had a real job and it will be nigh on impossible to go back to anything scientific without further study as she's been out of it for almost 5 years already, which is an age in those terms. I imagine they'll be fine because they both clearly come from privileged backgrounds, but I wonder what the long-term end goal is here.

That comment is so on point. Hyrox will also be a fad - it's not a stable sport that will definitely be around in 10 years. Neither Holly or Angelo are looking to get the training or skills that would allow them to have jobs as sports instructors or coaches, which would give them longer range careers.

If she had deleted her profile, especially without announcing it, she's silly because she's alienated her entire following. I reckon her account must have been suspended for some reason, and if so, I do hope she gets it back. I wonder if Angelo will say anything on his?
