WHAT IS HYROX?
HYROX is a global fitness race that combines running and functional workout stations in an epic format:
Run 1km, then tackle a functional workout station – and repeat this EIGHT times.
Every HYROX race is held indoors in massive exhibition halls, creating an immersive and electrifying atmosphere. Your cheer squad can follow your journey from start to finish, adding to the adrenaline-pumping vibe!
The race format is consistent worldwide, with global leaderboards tracking your progress and a World Championship to cap off each season. It’s a sport that’s perfect for elite athletes and everyday fitness enthusiasts alike, offering everyone the chance to push their limits and achieve greatness.

HYROX 12 WEEK CONDITIONING PROGRAM
Get ready for HYROX Melbourne 2026!

This allows us to create a personalised training plan tailored to your current fitness, abilities, and lifestyle.
