Official HYROX Training Center
HYROX training in Wheat Ridge.
Alpine CrossFit is an official HYROX affiliate. Athletes training for the HYROX race format — eight 1-kilometer runs alternating with eight functional fitness stations — use Alpine's coached programming and Friday run clubs to dial in race-specific fitness and post their best times.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Included with the right tier.
HYROX-style classes and Friday run club are included in Unlimited ($199/month) and the Personal Training tier ($999/month). For race-specific 1:1 coaching — periodized programming built around your event date, weekly check-ins, and individualized strategy — Personal Training is the natural fit.
