Let’s break down exactly how to train, what you’ll get in our HYROX classes, and how this all works alongside your CrossFit training.
What Does a HYROX Race Actually Include?
HYROX is an 8K race broken into 1K runs between eight functional fitness stations:
- 1,000m Ski Erg
- 50m Sled Push
- 50m Sled Pull
- 80m Burpee Broad Jumps
- 1,000m Row
