HYROX Program Design Templates Beginner & Advanced

The functional fitness landscape has shifted its attention. What began as a European fitness competition has exploded into a global phenomenon. HYROX is no longer just an event—it's become a cultural movement rivaling Crossfit.

HYROX HISTORY

Since its inception, HYROX participation has skyrocketed, with over 100,000 athletes competing in the 2023-2024 season—a 300% increase from just three years ago.

With events now in more than 30 countries across five continents, HYROX has become the fastest-growing fitness competition in the world. What's driving this surge? A uniquely accessible format that combines running with functional fitness, creating a challenge that appeals to both CrossFit enthusiasts and traditional endurance athletes alike.

THE COACHING OPPORTUNITY

For fitness professionals, this explosive growth represents an opportunity. Your clients are asking about HYROX—or will be soon—but most don't know how to properly prepare for it.

Many fitness enthusiasts are drawn to the challenge of HYROX but find themselves overwhelmed by the specific training requirements. They understand running, they understand functional fitness, but combining both elements effectively? That's where they need your expertise.

This knowledge gap creates the perfect opportunity for coaches to:

  • Connect with new potential clients who are specifically searching for HYROX preparation

  • Engage and educate existing clients around the importance of hybrid and concurrent training models that enhance both strength and endurance

  • Better prepare competitively-driven clients who set challenging event-based goals but need structured guidance to achieve them

  • Demonstrate your expertise in periodization and sport-specific training that transfers to multiple fitness domains

This is more than just programming—it's a chance to showcase your coaching expertise and be a  go-to resource in a rapidly expanding fitness category that bridges the gap between functional fitness and endurance sports.

The question is: are you prepared to coach them effectively?

That's why we're excited to share the release of two comprehensive HYROX programs design templates inside CoachRx, designed by experienced coaches who understand both the demands of the event and how to prepare athletes at any level.

PROGRAM INTRODUCTION

Let's introduce our two specialized programs:

First, our Beginner 12-Week HYROX Program designed by Coach Henry Torrano. This program builds a solid foundation for first-time participants, taking them from being able to run 30 minutes continuously to race-ready in just 12 weeks. As Henry notes:

"Hyrox is primarily a running event. Understanding that running makes up more than half of the race is crucial for programming success."

This program features three distinct 4-week cycles:

  • An accumulation phase building volume and strength

  • An intensification phase combining components to simulate race demands

  • A pre-competition phase focusing on race-specific preparation

ADVANCED PROGRAM

For your experienced clients looking to break the 60-minute barrier or qualify for championships, we offer our Advanced HYROX Training Program designed by Coach Sam Smith.

This program applies sophisticated training principles including critical speed and lactate threshold training to optimize performance. As Sam explains:

"For an advanced client, we need to work on improving running capacity above critical speed to elevate race pace, while building durability to maintain pace through the obstacle portions."

The program features:

  • Precise interval designs based on metabolic thresholds

  • Strategic run volume building and tapering

  • Race simulations to test and refine pacing strategies

  • Targeted work to overcome the specific fatigue patterns of Hyrox racing

WHY THESE PROGRAMS WORK

Both programs reflect deep understanding of Hyrox's unique demands:

  • Strategic pacing recommendations calibrated to each athlete's sustainable effort level

  • Preparation for the "oh shit" moments every HYROX athlete experiences—like the heavy legs after sled pushes and the metabolic spike after burpee broad jumps

  • Movement-specific training to handle the varied demands from skiing to wall balls

  • Complete race-day strategies from warm-up through execution

THE COACH ADVANTAGE

As a coach, these programs give you everything you need to:

  • Confidently onboard new Hyrox clients

  • Provide expert programming that addresses the event's specific demands

  • Position yourself as a specialist in one of fitness's fastest-growing categories

  • Deliver race-day results that turn clients into long-term advocates

  • Leverage these programs for inspiration to create customized plans for your unique athletes
