Hyrox
Hyrox (stylized as HYROX) is an indoor fitness competition that combines 8 km of running and 8 functional workout stations, alternating between running and functional exercises. It bills itself as "The World Series of Fitness Racing" and "A Sport for Everybody".
A Hyrox competition is made up of a 1-kilometre (0.62 mi) run followed by a functional exercise station that is repeated eight times for the eight different workout stations. The events are standardized across all locations, allowing athletes to compare results globally.
Hyrox was launched by Christian Toetzke and Moritz Fürste. The first Hyrox event was held in Hamburg, Germany in April 2018.
Hyrox was founded by Olympic field hockey champion Moritz Fürste and Christian Toetzke, and first introduced in Hamburg, Germany in 2017. With the idea of developing a program that would stimulate gym goers and avid Strava users, Furste and Toetzke designed a race of "eight 1km runs with a workout station in between each 1km – in no particular order." It would also motivate gym users to move past losing weight and checking their body status.
The first Hyrox event had 650 participants. According to Fürste, the original brief was "to create an event that is a €200,000 (about $214,000) production that looks like a €2,000,000 ($2,144,000) production".
The competition has since expanded worldwide, with 24,000 people taking part in Hyrox events in London alone in 2023. In total, 65 races were held around the world in 2023, with 175,000 competitors taking part.
A network of Hyrox-affiliated gyms has been established, and gyms pay a yearly affiliation fee to become a Hyrox affiliate. There are three tiers of affiliation: Hyrox Performance Centers, Hyrox Training Clubs, and Hyrox Performance Academy. Hyrox365 is responsible for the training and education side of Hyrox. The number of Hyrox-affiliated gyms grew rapidly, and reached 5,000 by the end of 2024.
By season 3 of Hyrox (2020–2021) it had attracted investments from Infront Sports & Media Group and sponsorships by global brands Red Bull and Puma. Prize money for the elite event has grown year on year. Other major events have received prize payouts in addition to the World Championships. For the 2023–2024 Hyrox World Championship, the total prize purse was $150,000 split between the male and female elite fields, with the winner receiving $25,000.
