Are you looking for a new fitness challenge that combines strength, endurance, and functional movement? HYROX might be exactly what you need. We're excited to announce that TRAIN Gym is now Joplin's first official HYROX affiliate, bringing this global fitness phenomenon to our community!

What is HYROX?

HYROX is a fitness competition format that combines running with functional workouts in a standardized race that anyone can participate in. Created in Germany in 2017, it has quickly grown into a worldwide movement with events in over 30 countries.

The competition follows a specific format:

  • 8 rounds of 1km runs

  • 8 functional workouts between each run

These functional workouts include:

  • Sled push

  • Sled pull

  • Wall balls

  • Rowing

  • Farmers carry

  • Burpee broad jumps

  • Sandbag lunges

  • Ski erg

What makes HYROX unique is its accessibility—it's designed for everyone from fitness enthusiasts to elite athletes. The standardized format allows participants to compare their performance globally, creating a competitive yet inclusive community.

The Benefits of HYROX Training

Full-Body Conditioning

HYROX training develops all aspects of fitness simultaneously:

  • Cardiovascular endurance from the running segments

  • Muscular strength and power from the functional exercises

  • Core stability and coordination from the varied movement patterns

  • Mental toughness from pushing through challenging combinations

Functional Fitness for Real Life

The movements in HYROX translate directly to everyday activities. Lifting, carrying, pushing, pulling—these are all movements we use in daily life. Training for HYROX helps build practical strength that serves you beyond the gym.

Measurable Progress

With its standardized format, HYROX provides clear metrics to track your improvement. Whether you're competing against yourself or others, you'll have concrete numbers to show your progress over time.

Community and Motivation

The HYROX community is known for its supportive atmosphere. Training for and participating in HYROX events connects you with like-minded individuals who share your passion for fitness and self-improvement.
