What HYROX is

The race format.

HYROX is a global fitness race built around a fixed, repeatable format: eight 1-kilometer runs interspersed with eight functional fitness stations. Every athlete races the same workout, which means times are directly comparable — your race against your last race, your race against the field worldwide.

The eight stations:

  • 1,000-meter ski erg
  • 50-meter sled push
  • 50-meter sled pull
  • 80-meter burpee broad jumps
  • 1,000-meter row
  • 200-meter farmer's carry
  • 100-meter sandbag lunges
  • 100 wall balls

Total race time runs roughly 60 to 90 minutes for most athletes. The fitness it demands sits at the intersection of CrossFit, distance running, and strongman — which is why a CrossFit gym with a real strength-and-conditioning foundation is the right place to train for it.

Why train at Alpine

The right gym for race prep.

Alpine's programming, coaching, and recovery infrastructure all map onto HYROX's demands:

  • Programming written by a Semifinalist. Megan Markee, our head programmer and 2× CrossFit Games Semifinalist, writes Alpine's programming. The CrossFit base — squats, presses, pulls, rowing, running — is exactly the fitness HYROX rewards.
  • Three CF-L2 coaches who know the format. Lisa, Liz, and Dean run every class and coach to the demands of HYROX-style work when athletes have a race on the calendar.
  • Sled work, ski erg, and rowing in the gym already. The equipment HYROX uses is equipment we already train with weekly.
  • Friday run clubs. Distance-running fitness is half the race. Our Friday run club builds the running engine most CrossFit athletes are missing.
  • Recovery built in. Sauna, cold plunges, and compression boots are part of every membership — recovery you actually need when you're race-prepping.
Your training week

Recommended schedule for HYROX athletes.

If you're training for a HYROX race, prioritize these in your week:

  • Tuesday class — race-style conditioning
  • Thursday class — race-style conditioning
  • Sunday class — longer aerobic capacity work
  • Friday run club — distance running

That's four sessions a week of HYROX-relevant work. Add additional CrossFit classes, open gym time, or one-on-one personal training as your race calendar dictates. See the full class schedule →

Note: Friday run club times — confirm with Alpine staff. Run club is included with Unlimited and Personal Training memberships.

Who HYROX training is for

You don't need a race on the calendar.

Members train HYROX-style for a few different reasons:

  • You signed up for a race. Most direct case — you have a HYROX event in 8, 12, or 16 weeks and you want to peak for it.
  • You're curious about the format. The Tuesday/Thursday/Sunday rhythm gives you a taste of what race training feels like before you commit to an event.
  • You want hybrid fitness. HYROX-style work is some of the most well-rounded conditioning training available — strength, endurance, and grit in one race format.
  • You want to run more. If your CrossFit fitness is solid but your running is the weak link, the run club fixes that fast.

HYROX FAQ

Common questions.

What is HYROX?
HYROX is a global fitness race with a fixed format: eight 1-kilometer runs alternating with eight functional fitness stations (ski erg, sled push, sled pull, burpee broad jumps, rowing, farmer's carry, sandbag lunges, wall balls). Every athlete races the same workout, which makes times directly comparable across events worldwide.
Do I need to be experienced to train HYROX-style?
No. The same scaling principle that applies to CrossFit applies here — every movement and load can be adjusted to your level. New athletes start by building a base, then add HYROX-specific work as a race approaches.
How is HYROX different from CrossFit?
CrossFit is constantly varied — every workout is different. HYROX is the opposite — one fixed race format, repeated. Training for HYROX uses CrossFit fitness as the base, then layers race-specific work (sled push pacing, ski erg intervals, run-station transitions) on top.
When does the Friday run club meet?
Friday run clubs are part of Alpine's HYROX-focused training week. Confirm current meeting time with Alpine staff or text us at (720) 964-1505.
Do you coach for a specific race date?
Yes. Personal training at Alpine can be scoped around a specific HYROX event — periodized programming, weekly check-ins, and race-day strategy. Book a free consultation to scope it.
Is Alpine actually a HYROX affiliate?
Yes. Alpine CrossFit is an official HYROX affiliate gym, which means our coaches and equipment meet HYROX's standards for training and event prep.
