What do you get when you combine burpee broad jumps with sled pulls, inside an arena with hordes of people running against the clock? You get Hyrox, a fitness competition that combines running with functional workouts, demanding a high level of endurance, strength and athleticism.

Hyrox originated in Germany in 2017, founded by Christian Toetzke, an entrepreneur and former triathlete, and Moritz Furste, a two-time German Olympic gold medalist in field hockey. The competition has since expanded, with events held in numerous countries.

Anyone can participate, there are several divisions and no course time limits. Competitors must complete each 1-kilometer run and the subsequent functional exercise before proceeding to the next station, ultimately covering a total of 8 kilometers and performing all eight exercises in the prescribed order.

Whether you’re a seasoned athlete or new to the sport, effective training is key to performing well in a Hyrox event. Here are five approaches, with science-backed commentary, to help you prepare for the competition.

1. Structured Periodisation Training
2. Functional Training & Conditioning
3. High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT)
4. Sport Specific Training
5. Recovery & Mobility

Hyland stresses that it’s “ideal” to be guided by an exercise professional and offers the following advice:

“If operating on your own, be mindful of managing duration and intensity in active recovery sessions. The idea is to offer your body multiplanar movement without raising heart rate excessively or adding to the demands the body is already experiencing while healing itself.”

Training for Hyrox requires a comprehensive approach that combines structured periodization, functional strength and conditioning, high-intensity interval training, sport-specific exercises and adequate recovery. By incorporating these five approaches, ideally with a certified personal trainer, you can effectively prepare for the unique challenges of a Hyrox competition and achieve your fitness goals.
