It’s a race that requires a mesmerizing mix of strength and endurance; one that pushes the fittest of the fit to the edge of what they think is possible.
And now, after a steady start, the fitness phenomenon that is HYROX has finally found its stride.
HYROX is a functional fitness race which involves an eight-kilometer (almost five-mile) run interspersed with eight workout stations. Each station requires participants to perform a different exercise – SkiErg, sled push, sled pull, burpee broad jumps, rowing, farmer’s carry, sandbag lunges and the dreaded wall balls.
Competitors are able to compete in teams, pairs or by themselves. No matter the age or ability, the race format remains the same – the only difference being the differing weights used at the stations.
HYROX’s first iteration in 2017 saw 618 participants, while now it boasts more than 210,000 across 30 cities.
CNN recently spoke to two women at the forefront of HYROX’S charge to discover what life is like at the top of the latest fitness craze.
