HYROX training isn't just for 'MONSTERS'
What this format teaches everyday athletes about pacing, power, and purpose.
It’s been almost 12 months since we became an official HYROX affiliate at Round 1 Fitness — and what a ride it’s been.
In that time, we’ve built an entire stream of HYROX-specific training into the gym:
HYROX Power — where we focus on building strength and driving force.
HYROX Engine — built around endurance, pacing, and sustained output.
HYROX Foundations — a bit of both, giving you the complete HYROX experience.
Whether you’re chasing speed, strength, or simply better all-round fitness, there’s something here for you.
And here’s the best part: HYROX is for everyone.
You don’t need to be a marathon runner or a powerlifter to take part. You don’t even need to run — if you can’t, walk.
Every session can be scaled, adapted, and modified to your ability.
What HYROX is really about is inclusion. It’s about becoming a little better, a little stronger, and a little more confident each day — without the pressure of learning complicated Olympic lifts, gymnastics skills, or choreography.
It’s simple, it’s tough, and it’s incredibly rewarding.
1. It’s Built for Everyone — Not Just the Pros
There’s no secret skill barrier. No gymnastics. No Olympic lifting.
Just sled pushes, rowing, running, lunges, wall balls, and skiing — all movements you’ve seen before, and all things you can train for.
That’s the beauty of it: there’s nowhere to hide, but also nothing you can’t learn.
You don’t need to be fast — you just need to keep moving. You don’t need to be perfect — you just need to keep showing up.
HYROX rewards effort, not ego.
And that’s something everyone can get behind.
2. It’s Fitness That Actually Makes Sense
You know what doesn’t make sense?
Tearing a hamstring chasing a footy in your 30s.
Learning to do upside-down handstand push-ups when all you want is to feel strong and capable.
Running 20km a week just to end up with cranky knees and sore ankles.
HYROX sits in the sweet spot. It combines strength and cardio in a way that’s tough, measurable, and sustainable.
You get the burn of the sleds, the engine work from the rower, and the satisfaction of strength movements that feel powerful but not punishing.
It’s honest fitness — built on hard work, consistency, and good mechanics, not flashy tricks.
3. It Teaches You to Pace, Push, and Perform
Every HYROX session is a masterclass in self-awareness.
You learn to pace — because go too hard early and you’re cooked.
You learn to push — because you realise that the moment you want to stop is when you’re actually building resilience.
And you learn to perform — not by being the fastest, but by staying calm when everything in you wants to quit.
That’s the purpose behind it all. HYROX strips fitness back to its rawest form — movement, effort, recovery — and forces you to find balance between all three.
You finish stronger not just in your legs or lungs, but in your mindset.
4. The Everyday Athlete Mindset
At Round 1, we talk a lot about the “everyday athlete.”
That’s the person who juggles work, family, and life, but still shows up to train.
They might not be chasing podiums — but they’re chasing progress.
HYROX gives that person a system. A way to measure effort, see improvement, and celebrate what the human body can do when you give it purpose.
You don’t have to race in a stadium to feel like an athlete. You just need to show up and train like one.
So Why Do HYROX at Round 1?
Because it’s fun. It’s challenging. It’s simple.
It gives you something to train for, not just something to train through.
And whether you’re 25 or 55, new to the gym or been training for years — it’s a reminder that strength and fitness don’t belong to the elite. They belong to anyone willing to earn them.
HYROX isn’t about being a monster.
It’s about finding the best version of you — one sled push, one row, one run at a time.
