What is HYROX?
HYROX is structured as a race, where you complete eight 1km runs, with a different functional workout between each run. It’s about consistency, pacing, and the ability to tackle various movements efficiently. This programming allows you to build endurance, improve functional strength, and sharpen your mental toughness. Whether you’re aiming for competition or just want to elevate your fitness game, HYROX will push you to reach new heights.

FAQs About HYROX

Absolutely! HYROX programming is scalable, which means we can adjust the exercises and running distances to fit your current fitness level. Our goal is to help you progress over time, whether that’s running faster, pushing heavier sleds, or improving your burpee form.
Q: Do I need to be a runner to enjoy HYROX?
Not at all. While running is part of the HYROX race, our programming will help you gradually build up your endurance. Plus, we’ll work with you on pacing strategies to ensure you can maintain your energy throughout the workout.
Q: How is this different from a regular HIIT class?

You’re in luck! Our programming will prepare you for official HYROX events. You’ll get firsthand experience with the exercises used in competition, and we’ll help you with the conditioning and mindset to cross that finish line confidently.
