Two titans of the fitness world, Dani Speegle and Scott Panchik have once again pushed personal limits and sporting boundaries in 2025.
The INOV8 US athletes have competed and inspired across the world over the past 12 months, with Dani still having one major event left.
DANI SPEEGLE
That major event comes next week when she competes at the World Fitness Project Finals in Copenhagen, Denmark (Dec 18- 21).
The finals will see 30 of the world’s fittest women go head-to-head on the competition floor. Dani goes to Copenhagen with a tour ranking of 18 and the determination to fight for a podium.
This comes off the back of an impressive weekend at Rogue Invitational in early November when Dani placed 8th woman overall – which included second-place finishes in two events.
While at Rogue in Aberdeen, Scotland, Dani also joined the INOV8 team for an underground meet & greet. A crowd of fans headed to the impromptu location, grabbing autographs and photos, and sharing laughs.
A six-time CrossFit Games athlete and founder of the Girls Who Eat movement, Dani returned to the Games in August and competed in the team event, placing sixth with CrossFit Invictus.
Her previous five appearances at The Games were all as an individual competitor.
Back in January – kicking off her year – Dani finished 6th individual woman overall at Wodapalooza in Miami, US. She then completed an incredible weekend by going on to finish 6th in the Elite Women’s Team Division too.
Alongside all this, Dani has continued to raise awareness of Girls Who Eat – a movement to promote a healthy lifestyle and positive body image for women.
She also this year announced her role as one of the gladiators in the Amazon Prime reboot of American Gladiators. Filming took place in the summer.
SCOTT PANCHIK
CrossFit Games legend Scott Panchik returned to the competition floor in August – this time in the 35-39 category of the CrossFit Games Masters.
Scott faced up against other top names in the sport and rolled back the years with an incredible series of performances that resulted in him taking the win.
It was a huge achievement for Scott, who described it as “easily one of my favourite sport moments of my life.”
A ten-time CrossFit Games athlete, Scott followed up his performance in Albany, New York, by heading over to Scotland for Rogue Invitational.
He met fans and led a brilliant group workout at CrossFit SAR in Aberdeen alongside the INOV8 team.
Earlier, in May, Scott joined forces with our team to launch a Scott Panchik limited signature edition of the F-LITE™ MAX shoe in white and black (his favourite footwear colourway).
He said: “As the sport has continued to evolve, so has the footwear. It’s been a lot of fun to share feedback from all my years competing and see it come to life in this new shoe.”
