Pippa Laukka drew inspiration from Timo Jutila – 'Why not me too?'
Doctor Pippa Laukka is inspired by hockey legend Timo Jutila to explore new fitness routines, particularly the emerging sport of Hyrox.
Pippa Laukka, a well-known doctor, is currently featured on the Finnish show "You Are What You Eat," where she revamps the diets and lifestyles of various celebrities. Interestingly, Laukka finds herself also learning from those she coaches, particularly from the hockey legend Timo Jutila. In a recent Instagram post, she acknowledged that she was inspired by Jutila's journey during the previous season of the show, which motivated her to break out of her comfort zone and try new things.
Laukka specifically pointed out how Jutila’s enthusiasm for the fitness trend Hyrox struck a chord with her. His passion for the sport encouraged her to contemplate her own fitness journey and wonder, "Why can’t I do that too?" This reflection led her to take action, which she documented in her post. Laukka's willingness to try Hyrox, a fitness competition combining endurance and strength, illustrates the positive influence of Jutila’s example and the importance of continually challenging oneself, regardless of age or background.
Furthermore, Laukka shared her experience of training at a Hyrox gym recommended by Jutila and his wife, Satu. Her enthusiasm for this new endeavor highlights the increasing popularity of cross-training activities and the spirit of lifelong learning in fitness. By telling her story, Laukka not only promotes Hyrox as a sport but also illustrates how empathy and inspiration can flow both ways in coach-client relationships.
