Common questions

How do I know if I should start with HYROX Foundations or Race Ready?

If you have not raced HYROX, cannot string together 8 wall balls + a 200m run without redlining, or have less than 6 months of consistent functional training, start with Foundations. If you have raced (or trained for) at least one HYROX, can hold steady pace through compromised running, and want to chase a specific finish time, Race Ready is the right room.

Can I switch between Foundations and Race Ready?

Yes. We move athletes up the moment their engine, mechanics, and recovery hold up under Race Ready volume. We also move athletes back when life loads spike. The goal is the right stimulus, not ego.

Do I need to be a CrossFit BC member to join?

You do not need to be an existing CrossFit member. Both HYROX programs are open to drop-ins, members, and athletes coming from other gyms. A short coach call is the fastest way to be placed correctly.
