HYROX is having a moment — and even though it feels like everyone knows what it is, “wait, what actually IS HYROX?” is still a question we get regularly. Denver’s first-ever race is November 12–15, so here’s your no-judgment explainer for those in the dark.
One thing that’s not on the slides: you don’t have to race to train like it. HYROX-style training — run intervals plus functional strength — is one of the best all-around fitness formats there is. The race is just the excuse.
For those that are even a little HYROX-curious, the full breakdown, including how we train for it at Empow3r, is in this week’s blog — link in bio.
