The Origin of Hyrox
The inspiration for Hyrox is emerged in Germany in 2017, when Christian Toetzke and Benjamin Seitter, the founders, conceived the idea of creating a challenge that would test the skills of athletes from different disciplines.
Looking for a way to combine the world of running and functional training, the two visionaries created Hyrox: an indoor endurance challenge that cleverly blends running and functional activities.
How does it work?
Hyrox it is a unique competition that requires athletes to go through 8 different training stations, each preceded by a 1 km run. It is essential to note that only those who successfully complete one station can advance to the next.
Each participant is equipped with a timing chip, which precisely records their time. This temporal data is subsequently inserted into the world ranking, offering athletes the opportunity to monitor their progress and try to improve their performances in view of upcoming competitions.
Here are the 8 functional exercises that athletes face:
- 1000 meters of ski erg
- 50 meters of sled push (from 102 to 202 kg)
- 50 meters of sled pull (from 78 to 153 kg)
- 80 meter burpee broad jumps
- 1000 meters per rowing machine
- 200 meter kettlebell farmers carry (from 16 to 32 kg)
- 100 meters of sandbag lunges (10 to 30 kg)
- Between 75 and 100 repetitions of wall ball (from 4 to 9 kg)
