If you’re part of the fitness community, chances are you’ve heard about Hyrox — the new global fitness competition that’s taking the world by storm. But what is Hyrox, and why is F45 Camarillo excited to be one of the first gyms in California to partner with this unique challenge?

Hyrox is a fitness race that tests both endurance and strength, combining elements of running and functional fitness movements. It’s the perfect complement to F45’s dynamic training style, offering members a new way to push their limits and challenge themselves. Let’s break down exactly what Hyrox is and why it’s the ideal addition to F45 Camarillo’s fitness offerings.

What is Hyrox?

At its core, Hyrox is a fitness competition designed for athletes of all levels. Participants race through eight functional fitness stations, alternating with one-kilometer runs in between each station. Unlike traditional races, Hyrox integrates strength exercises such as sled pushes, rowing, and burpees, making it a comprehensive test of both endurance and power.

Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned athlete, Hyrox is designed to be inclusive. Competitors can scale their weights and movements according to their ability level, making it an approachable yet challenging experience for all.

The Structure of a Hyrox Event

So, what exactly happens in a Hyrox event? Participants start with a one-kilometer run, followed by a functional fitness station. The stations are designed to test various aspects of fitness, including strength, power, endurance, and agility. These stations include:

1. Ski Erg – A full-body cardio workout that mimics the motion of skiing.
2. Sled Push – A test of lower body strength and power.
3. Sled Pull – Another leg-focused station, testing pulling power and grip strength.
4. Burpee Broad Jumps – A twist on the traditional burpee, adding an explosive jump element.
5. Rowing – A classic endurance challenge using the rowing machine.
6. Farmers Carry – Carrying kettlebells over a distance, testing grip and core strength.
7. Sandbag Lunges – Adding weight to a standard lunge, this station challenges lower body strength and stability.
8. Wall Balls – A squat-to-throw movement, combining leg strength and coordination.

Between each station, participants run another one-kilometer, making Hyrox a total of 8 kilometers of running combined with functional fitness movements.
