HYROX is the global fitness race that’s taken Glasgow by storm and it’s here to stay. If you’ve been eyeing up the challenge but aren’t sure where to begin, this guide breaks it down for you.

What Is HYROX?

HYROX combines functional fitness with endurance. The standard format includes 1km of running followed by a functional movement, like sled pushes, rowing, or sandbag lunges, repeated eight times. It’s accessible, scalable, and fun.

Why It’s Perfect for Everyday Athletes

You don’t need to be elite to do HYROX. It’s designed for people who want to feel fitter, faster, and stronger, not just those chasing a podium. We’ve had busy mums, dads, and first-time gym-goers complete their first race through our structured training.
