What Is HYROX — And Why Everyone Is Talking About It

If you’ve been hearing the buzz around HYROX, you’re not alone. It’s one of the fastest-growing fitness races in the world—and for good reason. It combines functional strength, endurance, and grit into one unforgettable event that’s designed for everyday people, not just elite athletes.

So… What Is HYROX?

HYROX is a global fitness race that blends running with functional workout stations. The format is simple but powerful:

  • 8 x 1 km runs
  • 8 workout stations in between each run

Those workout stations include movements like:

  • Ski Erg
  • Sled Push & Pull
  • Burpee Broad Jumps
  • Rowing
  • Farmer’s Carries
  • Sandbag Lunges
  • Wall Balls

It’s the same race format no matter where you compete in the world, which means you can track your progress and even compete globally.

And here’s the key: you don’t need specialized training or a competitive background to do HYROX. It’s designed to be accessible, with divisions and scaling options that make it approachable for beginners while still challenging for advanced athletes.


We’re an Official HYROX Training Club

We’re proud to be an official HYROX affiliate, which means our gym is recognized as a HYROX Training Club.

What does that mean for you?

It means you’re not just training randomly—you’re preparing with purpose.

Our HYROX classes are built around the exact movements and structure of the race. You’ll learn:

  • Proper technique for each station
  • How to pace yourself across runs and workouts
  • How to transition efficiently between movements
  • How to build both strength and endurance

Whether your goal is to finish your first race or simply get into incredible shape, these classes meet you where you’re at.


Yes, It’s Hard to Get Into a HYROX Race

Here’s something most people don’t realize:

HYROX events sell out fast. Getting a spot can be surprisingly competitive.

But as an official affiliate, we have an advantage.

We receive pre-sale registration codes for HYROX events—and we share those directly with our members. That means you get early access before the general public even has a chance.


Train Like It’s Race Day

One of the most unique parts of our program is that we don’t just “work out”—we prepare you for the real experience.

We run full HYROX race simulations, so you can:

  • Experience exactly what race day feels like
  • Get a baseline time to improve on
  • Build confidence before signing up for an official event

These simulations are a game-changer. You’ll walk into your race knowing exactly what to expect—and what you’re capable of.


More Than a Workout — It’s a Full Experience

We’re building something bigger than just classes.

Our HYROX Training Club is supported by top-tier partners, including:

  • Lululemon
  • FitAid
  • LMNT
  • Ascent Protein
  • MyFitFoods

Plus, we’re bringing in recovery and performance support from:

  • Denver Sports Recovery
  • Kinetik Chain
  • Three Lions Physical Therapy

Race simulations will include a professional photographer that will give participants access to photos.

This means you’re not just training hard—you’re recovering smarter and performing better.
