Having suffered a Complete Brachial Plexus Evulsion in a car accident in 2017, Gina Moore’s left arm was left completely paralysed from her shoulder down. In her effort to proove that fitness doesn’t need to be complicated nor discriminative, we saw her compete in Byw’n Iach’s Half Hyrox competition back in June, and again recently in the competition in November with her daughter Sian.
Why is fitness important to you?
Fitness is so important for me mentally and physically. I’ve always enjoyed running, and adaptive slings have enabled me to pursue this passion post-accident. It works wonders for my mind and I love the fresh air. Strength training also allows me to correct imbalances from my injury and strengthen my core.
Why Hyrox?
Initally, I was afraid of Hyrox, and truthfully doubted my own ability to compete at certain stations. With the help and support of many, we’ve tailored stations to meet my needs. This was when I realised that I could give it a go!
How do you prepare for the a Hyrox competition?
I try and head out on a run at least three times a week. This comes most natural to me, and as we spend almost half the competition running, I consider it an integral aspect of my training. The Thursday morning Hyrox classes at Dwyfor have been essential in my journey towards Hyrox, and where I realised that this might be something I’m capable of.
How does Byw’n Iach support you to keep fit?
The new Biocircuit at Dwyfor Leisure centre has been a breakthrough for me. Prior to May, 2026, a gym/fitness room never really appealed to me as I was unsure where to start and what to do. The Biocircuit allows me to strength train regularly without a plan or routine. It’s amazing, I love it!
What are your fitness goals?
Currently, my goals are just to remain as fit and strong as I can. Having completed the London Marathon in 2025, and the SheUltra in 2024 – these once in a lifetime experiences have shown me that I can do anything I put my mind to!
I always encourage everyone and anyone to have a go – over the years, I’ve learned that fitness isn’t complicated nor discriminative, but yet the benefits are so rewarding.
Be more like Gina, prove your strength and determination!
