As of June 2023, there are over 90,000 global competitors in Hyrox. The number of competitors has been growing steadily since the first Hyrox event was held in 2017. Hyrox is a fitness competition that combines running and functional exercises. The race is held indoors usually in large exhibition halls, and participants run 1 kilometer followed by a functional exercise, repeated eight times. The functional workouts are designed to test a variety of fitness components, including strength, endurance, and power.
Hyrox is open to athletes of all levels, and there are separate divisions for men, women, and teams.
The growth of Hyrox is a testament to the popularity of fitness competitions and the desire of people to challenge themselves. Hyrox is accessible to a wide range or people, although extremely challenging, the exercises are non complicated and easy to train for. Make no mistake though, this is a challenging sport.
