The first HYROX workout station is 1000m on the Ski Erg. This erg predominantly targets the arm, shoulder & core muscles, however when done efficiently, it also involves muscles in the lower body – making the Ski Erg a full body workout.

The second workout station is 50m of Sled Push. This is one station you do not want to come unprepared for… so make sure you try it out at least once before your race and invest in some grippy shoes! This movement targets the lower body muscles, including the entire posterior chain, core & anterior thigh muscles in particular.

Born in 1939, the fourth workout station is a full body workout that is both loved and hated at the same time. Trying these for the first time may feel hard, but many of our regular athletes now consider this station to be one of their favourites!

For 200m of Farmers Carry, engagement of your upper back muscles, core & grip strength is required. This workout station is easy to practise on your weekly shop…

10, 20 or 30 kilograms on your back whilst lunging? Welcome to workout station number seven. Primarily targets the thigh and glute muscles, this one is a burner…

It depends on your fitness goals and schedule. Generally, aiming for at least 3-5 workouts per week is a good starting point for most individuals. Consistency is key!

A combination of cardiovascular exercises (such as running, cycling, or swimming) and strength training is effective for weight loss. Focus on creating a calorie deficit through a balanced workout routine and a healthy diet.

While not mandatory, a personal trainer can provide guidance, motivation, and personalized workout plans based on your goals and fitness level. They can help you optimize your workouts and reduce the risk of injury.

Results vary depending on factors like effort, consistency, and individual differences. Generally, you may start noticing improvements in strength and energy levels within a few weeks. Visible changes in body composition usually take longer, typically 8-12 weeks or more.

Find activities you enjoy, set realistic goals, and track your progress. Incorporate variety into your workouts, join group classes, or find a workout buddy for accountability. Remember your reasons for wanting to be fit and celebrate milestones along the way.
