CrossFit Damacor is proud to be a partner of HYROX, the “World Series of Fitness Racing.” This collaboration brings together two powerful fitness communities, pushing our members’ physical health and performance to the next level.

What is HYROX?

HYROX is a rapidly growing phenomenon in the fitness world, known as the “World Series of Fitness Racing.” It is a unique competition that challenges both your physical and mental limits. A HYROX event combines running with functional exercises, making it closely related to CrossFit. The main difference is that HYROX follows a fixed format: eight rounds of 1 km runs, each followed by a functional workout. These exercises test your strength, endurance, and agility to the fullest.

Here are the eight exercises you will encounter in a HYROX event:
