HYROX Training Club in Evanston, IL

SHARP EDGE CROSSFIT x HYROX

What makes HYROX Training different from CrossFit training?

Hyrox Training is a narrow version of CrossFit, focusing primarily on endurance and grit, and eliminates CrossFit's signature gymnastics and barbell movements.

The movements involved in Hyrox Training and a Hyrox race are movements you'll see in CrossFit, as well. The Hyrox movements are:

• Running
• Skiing (Concept 2 Ski Erg)
• Rowing (Concept 2 Ski Erg)
• Sled Push
• Sled Pull
• Sandbag Lunges
• Farmer's Carry
• Burpee Broad Jumps
• Wall Balls

SPORT SPECIFIC TRAINING - THE HYROX RACE

Hyrox Training usually (though not always! continue reading!) culminates in the Hyrox race. Every Hyrox race follows the same format: a 1k run followed by a functional exercise station (see above for the list of Hyrox movements). This is repeated eight times for a total of 8k run and 8 exercise stations completed.

The Hyrox race caters to multiple divisions:

• Open: every-day fitness enthusiasts
• Pro: elite athletes
• Doubles: partners working together to complete the work
• Relay: team of four athletes working together to complete the work
