You’ve probably seen or heard the word “HYROX” being tossed around like a kettlebell lately. But what exactly is it? And why does it seem like everyone from elite athletes to everyday gym-goers is getting involved?

HYROX is more than just another fitness trend. It’s a global competition that’s reshaping how we think about endurance, strength, and functional fitness. HYROX is where racing meets functional fitness: clear, consistent and built for all levels. Unlike traditional races or obstacle courses, HYROX events follow an identical format, wherever they are in the world.

Our Co-Founder and Head of Train at SAINT Studios, Ryan Baronet, is here to break down what HYROX is. He’ll explain what makes it so addictive, and why it might be the next big challenge you didn’t know you needed. Discover HYROX and how to train for it at Saint Studios.

Why HYROX Is So Popular:

Low barrier to entry – just a willingness to show up ready to be challenged.

No time cap; Everyone finishes, whether it’s your first race or your 10th.

Community – Thousands of people doing the same challenge, cheering each other on, sharing the same burn.

It’s competitive for those who want it to be – but accessible for absolutely everyone.
