We create workouts specifically designed to prepare you for HYROX races or to provide you with an inclusive functional workout on the gym floor.
What is Hyrox Fitness racing?
HYROX combines both running & functional workout stations, where participants run 1km, followed by 1 functional workout station, repeated 8 times. Perfect for both athletes & everyday fitness enthusiasts looking to take their training to the next level, HYROX is the sport for everybody!
The Fitness Race- what's involved?
1000m SkiErg
The first HYROX workout station is 1000m on the Ski Erg. This erg predominantly targets the arm, shoulder & core muscles, however when done efficiently, it also involves muscles in the lower body – making the Ski Erg a full body workout.
Sled Push
The second workout station is 50m of Sled Push. This is one station you do not want to come unprepared for… so make sure you try it out at least once before your race and invest in some grippy shoes! This movement targets the lower body muscles, including the entire posterior chain, core & anterior thigh muscles in particular.
Sled Pull
Get ready to use your glutes, back, biceps & the entire trunk during workout station three – 50m of Sled Pull.
Burpee Broad Jumps
Born in 1939, the fourth workout station is a full body workout that is both loved and hated at the same time. Trying these for the first time may feel hard, but many of our regular athletes now consider this station to be one of their favourites!
1000m Rowing
Station number five is the second ergometer in this fitness race. 1000m of rowing marks the beginning of the second half of your HYROX race.
200m Farmers Carry
For 200m of Farmers Carry, engagement of your upper back muscles, core & grip strength is required. This workout station is easy to practise on your weekly shop…
Sandbag Lunges
10, 20 or 30 kilograms on your back whilst lunging? Welcome to workout station number seven. Primarily targets the thigh and glute muscles, this one is a burner…
75 or 100 Wall Balls
The final station… Wall Balls. With the finish line in sight, it’s time to finish your race in style & join the #HYROXFAMILY.
