  2. Close to the functional needs of life
    Many of the projects are in fact simulations of everyday human life. For example, carrying a supermarket shopping bag home is essentially a Farmer's Walk; pushing a heavy closet with great effort is very much like Sled Push; and the force of lifting a heavy object up a flight of stairs is a perfect counterpart to the Sandbag Lunges. Lunges.) These exercises are no longer just repetitive movements in the gym, but are practiced to improve one's quality of life.
  3. Low skill threshold and wide age range
    Participation is open to all ages 16 to 89, with different criteria depending on the age group.

What are the benefits of joining Hyrox as a team?

The most special thing about HYROX is that it makes "together" concrete. Instead of having a meeting and saying "we have to be united", we are really on the same track, breathing the same heavy air and feeling the same burning muscles. During training, you see your teammates' progress and let them see your efforts; during the race, when you can't hold on to your sled any longer, the shouts next to you help you to hold on one more step.

How can Hyrox help the corporate team?

Every step counts, spell it out together, and double the sense of accomplishment.

  • Team cohesion of the Hoochie Hoochie
    The greatest attraction of this event is the fact that a group of partners who share the same goal are traveling side by side. The bloodthirsty atmosphere and the cheering of the team members get the adrenaline pumping, and it also builds a deeper bond between the teams.

  • Enhance trust and sense of belonging
    Trust is not built through meetings, but through "pulling through together". When a usually silent colleague cheers for you loudly during a race; when the weakest teammate grits his teeth and finishes at the last stop, and the whole team crosses the line together - the emotional connection generated in these moments is far more real than any team course. HYROX is designed not just for physical challenges, but for everyone to see each other under pressure, to rely on each other, and to finish the course together.

  • Cultivating Strategic Thinking and Collaboration
    HYROX is a test of physical fitness, but also a test of "energy management" and "rhythm control". How to maintain the best condition during the running and functional events? How to allocate each team member's strengths? There is no standard answer to these questions, only the answer of "you as a team". Through discussion, adjustment and practice, the team is not just competing - they are learning how to let everyone's strengths be seen and weaknesses be compensated for, which is the truest epitome of workplace collaboration.

Who is suitable to participate?

All ages can enjoy the challenge and fun from 16 to 89 years old.

The beauty of HYROX is that people with different levels of fitness can stand on the same starting line. There is no need to wait for the strongest person, because everyone is doing their best for their part of the race. The whole team's finish is the sum of everyone's efforts.

Is it suitable for novice athletes?

HYROX is intended to be a fitness competition that is accessible to all, so you don't need to be a professional to participate, as long as you are willing to commit yourself to a suitable training program, you don't need to be an elite athlete to participate."You can do it if you want to."The 

Is it for silver-haired people?
