Peter ‘@coachpetehk’ Mercado

Peter JL Mercado is a certified HYROX Performance Coach based in Hong Kong. He helps everyday athletes train with structure, confidence, and purpose—whether they’re preparing for their first HYROX or chasing a faster time. His coaching blends endurance development, strength under fatigue, race-specific conditioning, and practical pacing strategies to support strong race-day execution and consistent training.

Before coaching, Peter spent over 20 years as a technology and operations leader across APAC, including roles as APAC Technology Director at lululemon and nearly two decades at Hermès, delivering large-scale digital transformation and programme initiatives.

His transition into performance coaching came from a simple, relatable realization: even with a successful executive career, he wanted his day-to-day work to align with the part of life that consistently made him feel most alive—training, progress, and helping others improve. After stepping away from corporate leadership and pursuing an entrepreneurial chapter, he carried the same principles that made teams and programmes successful—clear plans, consistency, strong fundamentals, and calm execution under pressure—into HYROX coaching.

Peter works with athletes who want a clear plan, high-quality execution, and coaching that fits real life.
