What is HYROX?

HYROX is an endurance test that combines running and functional training stations.

Participants must run 1 km and then perform a functional training station; this cycle is repeated eight times, in a format that mixes cardio and strength.

Unlike other competitions, HYROX takes place indoors, ensuring a controlled environment and adding a touch of spectacle to the event.

The eight seasons of HYROX

Each HYROX competition includes eight functional training stations, designed to work on different physical capacities:

• SkiErg: This resistance exercise primarily works the upper body and is an intense warm-up that activates the cardiovascular system.
• Sled Push: A weighted sled that participants must push, which requires leg strength.
• Sled Pull: Similar to the Sled Push, but this time the athlete must pull the sled, working on strength and muscle endurance.
• Burpee Broad Jumps: This burpee variation is demanding, combining strength and explosiveness in the jump for a test of agility and endurance.
• Rowing: The rowing test allows you to work on your upper body and core strength, being a strategic pause that requires rhythm and technique.
• Farmers Carry: Here athletes must carry weights on each side, working on balance and grip strength.
• Sandbag Lunges: This test requires carrying a sandbag while performing lunges, testing stability and strength in the legs.
• Wall Balls: The final exercise, throwing a ball against the wall from a squat position, challenges the endurance in the legs and shoulders.
