  • Training for HYROX here

  • This gym has the equipment for 5 of 8 HYROX stations, counting kit that stands in for the real thing. 1 of those are the station's own equipment.
  • 1. SkiErg 1000m
  • 2. Sled Push 4 x 12.5m
    Not on this gym's equipment list. A heavy leg press builds the same drive, though it will not teach the body position.
  • 3. Sled Pull 4 x 12.5m
    Not listed here, but this gym has kit that stands in. A heavy rope pull on a cable stack is the nearest thing most gyms have.
  • 4. Burpee Broad Jumps 80m
    No equipment needed, so any gym with floor space can train it.
  • 5. Row 1000m
    Not listed here, but this gym has kit that stands in. A SkiErg is the usual substitute, and it is a station in its own right anyway.
  • 6. Kettlebell Farmers Carry 200m
    Not on this gym's equipment list. Farmers handles or a pair of dumbbells carry perfectly well; only the grip differs.
  • 7. Sandbag Lunges 100m
    Not listed here, but this gym has kit that stands in. A barbell across the back, or dumbbells at the sides, loads the same lunge.
  • 8. Wall Balls 100 reps
    Not on this gym's equipment list. A medicine ball against a solid wall, or dumbbell thrusters where no wall will take it.
