HYROX Training

What Is HYROX?

HYROX is an indoor fitness race designed for everyday athletes.

Each race follows the same global format:

• 8 x 1km runs

• Each run is paired with a functional workout station

 

Movements include sled pushes and pulls, rowing, wall balls, lunges, carries, burpees, and more — all tests of strength, endurance, and mental toughness.

HYROX is:

• Standardized — the same race format worldwide

• Accessible — multiple divisions for different fitness levels

• Competitive & community-driven — you race alongside thousands of athletes, not alone

​

You don’t need to be elite. You just need to be prepared.

​

Why HYROX Training Is Different

HYROX isn’t CrossFit. It isn’t a marathon. It isn’t a bodybuilding competition.

 

It lives right in the middle — demanding:

• Sustained cardiovascular endurance

• Strength under fatigue

• Efficient movement patterns

• Smart pacing and race strategy

 

Training for HYROX means learning how to work hard for a long time without burning out early.

 

That’s where Afforest comes in.

HYROX Training at Afforest Fitness

Afforest offers HYROX-specific training classes designed to prepare athletes for both official HYROX races and our in-house HYROX events.

​

These classes are built around:

• Running capacity and aerobic engine development

• Functional strength at race-appropriate volumes

• Transitions between running and work stations

• Pacing, breathing, and efficiency under fatigue

 

This isn’t random high-intensity training.

 

It’s intentional race prep.
