Whether you’re a seasoned athlete or someone looking for a fresh challenge, HYROX is tailored for all fitness levels, emphasizing endurance, strength, and performance.
The race structure? A dynamic mix of workout stations, each followed by a 1km run. Here’s the breakdown:
SkiErg:
An intense full-body workout where participants use a ski machine, mimicking the motion of cross-country skiing.
Sled Push:
Engaging core, glutes, and legs, participants push a weighted sled across a certain distance.
Sled Pull:
Opposite to the sled push, participants pull a weighted sled towards them, working the back, arms, and legs.

Rowing:
Using a rowing machine, participants target both their upper and lower body, demanding coordination and stamina.
Farmers Carry:
Holding heavy kettlebells or weights in each hand, participants walk across a set distance, testing grip strength and endurance.
Sandbag Lunges:
