There's no easy answer to this question as HYROX events are extremly popular, selling out in hours. 

Events are held across the UK, and if you fancy an active City break also in glamorous locations in Europe and globally!

Look out for events coming up on the HYROX website, plus HYROX facebook groups (see below)..

While the race is certainly challenging and requires training, Hyrox was created with the average gym goer in mind and 91% of Hyrox athletes are members of a local gym.

To make their events suitable for everybody, Hyrox provides four different race divisions to create an inclusive competition for all fitness levels.

1. Open: This consists of the standard Hyrox race that is challenging but achievable for most gym goers.
2. Individual Pro: For the more experienced Hyrox athlete, this division provides greater challenge by involving heavier weights.
3. Doubles: Work as a pair to take on the race! You’ll complete the 1km runs together but you’ll split the workload of the functional exercises.
4. Relay Teams: Split between four individuals, this race is ideal for gym, corporate or friendship teams.

Hyrox races do not have any time limits, nor do they require any qualifications, and according to Hyrox itself, 98% of participants are successful in completing the race.

While the race is certainly achievable for most people, it still requires some preparation and training to ensure you’re ready to perform each exercise.  Even if you’re not looking to set a personal best, we’d still advise training for this event to minimise your risk of injury!

Hyrox and CrossFit might look quite similar – they both involve high intensity workouts and functional movements, to create a challenging full body workout. 

There are key differences between the two, The main differences between CrossFit and Hyrox events are:

• The competition: Hyrox races are always the same across the world. They use the same running distance and the same exercises, in the same order. Conversely, CrossFit competitions usually consist of a variety of workout routines, and competitors do not know what these workouts will be until just before the event begins. Hyrox events can last around 60-90 minutes, which is longer than most CrossFit workouts.
• Exercises: Hyrox exercises have been selected as they are fairly safe and simple to perform, which allows the race to be accessible to the average gym goer. CrossFit workouts typically involve more complex and advanced movements that take lots of practice to master technique.
• Running: Running makes up half of a Hyrox race, something that is not so commonly found in a CrossFit competition. Running 8km throughout the Hyrox race won’t come easy to many and it might pose a new challenge to CrossFit athletes.

The program is suitable for any athlete, whether you're an everyday gym goer or a runner looking to build strength and conditioning.

Hyrox races challenge your strength, power, endurance, and cardiovascular fitness, and realistically require a certain level of training in order to complete. If you’re wondering whether it’s worth tackling an event, you’ll be glad to know there’s multiple benefits to be had including:  

• It’s a new challenge: Hyrox is a brand-new challenge that many gym goers won’t have tried before. If you’re someone who performs best when they have a goal to work towards, signing up for a Hyrox event can be a great way to provide some training variation and keep you motivated.
• Improve athletic performance: Training for Hyrox involves a combination of strength, endurance, and mobility, all of which can translate to better athletic performance, including improved lifts in the gym.
• Aid everyday activities and movements:   The improvements in strength, flexibility and mobility also contribute to everyday activities, enhancing movement efficiency and minimising injury risks.
• They’re sociable: While training for Hyrox can be challenging, the events are very rewarding and sociable. On competition day you’ll be cheered on by spectators, friends, families and you’ll rival likeminded individuals who share similar goals to you. You’ll also become a part of the #HYSOCIETY, uniting everybody involved with Hyrox, from athletes to judges!

Hyrox is an intense, endurance event so incorporating appropriate training is important to minimise injury risks and maximise performance without burning out too quickly.

Practicing each of the functional exercises is very important, but you’ll also want to compliment this with strength and endurance training that will contributes to the main moves!

Running   – 50% of Hyrox events are running, so part of your training should be endurance running and cardio training. Remember, you’ll need to be able to run in between other exercises, so in addition to longer runs and cardio sessions, you’ll want to include them as part of circuits to practice alternating between these styles of exercise.

Where you focus your efforts will depend largely if you are coming from a gym or running background or both.

All HYROX programs are designed and coached by a personal trainer, England athletics running coach,, HYROX judge, and an experienced HYROX competitor!

This all depends on your HYROX race i.e. more time is perhaps required for a solo event than a doubles or relay.

As a minium 3 days per week to the ideal of 6 days per week. 

Recovery is a fundamental element  of any training program, and at least one rest day per week is a must.

We have HYROX programs for every race and the time you have available.
