What is HYROX and why is Everyone Talking About it

As a leading fitness facility, we at Horizon continually strive to innovate and elevate the fitness journeys of our members. So we’re excited to announce a new partnership that broadens the scope of what we offer: Horizon Havant is now an official HYROX affiliate!  This way of training is making waves across the fitness world and now it’s landed at a gym near you. So, what is HYROX and why is it getting so much attention?

HYROX is a global fitness race that combines running and functional workouts, designed to test your strength, endurance, and mental resilience. Unlike traditional obstacle races, HYROX events are held indoors, offering a consistent format that’s accessible to all levels of fitness – from first timers to elite athletes. But HYROX is more than just a competition, it’s a comprehensive fitness approach designed for everyone. This programme promotes physical fitness through a series of classes that are accessible, safe, and considered by HYROX HQ to be the healthiest way to train. Whether you aim to challenge yourself in the next HYROX competition or simply participate in HYROX classes to stay active and healthy, there’s a place for you.

The HYROX event itself is a thrilling challenge, testing strength, speed, agility, and endurance through a set of demanding physical tasks. It’s an excellent opportunity for those who love the spirit of competition and teamwork. A standard HYROX event includes 8 x 1km runs, each followed by a functional workout station. Think sled pushes, rowing, burpee broad jumps, wall balls, and more. It’s challenging, but it’s also scalable and inclusive, meaning anyone can train for and take part. We’re gearing up to support as many members as possible who want to experience the rush of competing in an upcoming HYROX fitness competition. 

HYROX is more than just a workout, it’s a global community and a purpose driven training method that delivers real results, which is why it’s generating so much buzz worldwide.

Stay tuned for updates and details about our HYROX classes. Our launch event takes place on 1st May 2025, and classes will be running every week. We encourage everyone to come out and join the classes to experience this innovative training regime firsthand, see what the hype is about and maybe even surprise yourself with what you can achieve. Thank you for being a vital part of the Horizon Gym, community. We’re thrilled to start this new chapter with you and continue providing the best fitness experiences possible.
