Can I do the HYROX PFT at home?

Yes — it is open and repeatable. You need a way to run 1km, a row erg, a 6kg or 4kg wall ball, and roughly 30 minutes. Conditions matter for comparison, so try to keep them consistent each test.

How is the Output HCT different from the PFT?

The PFT is for-time across six stations. The HCT uses fixed time windows and produces a 0–100 composite score, delivered through the Output Sports platform inside HYROX Elite affiliated gyms.

Do I need both tests?

No. The PFT alone is enough for most athletes to set a division and train smart. The HCT adds a calibrated layer when you have access.

How often should I re-test?

Three times per training block: baseline, mid-block, and race-ready. That gives you two clean data points to track progress and one final read before race day.

Does CrossFit BC offer this testing?

Yes. Every athlete in our HYROX program runs a coached PFT at the start, middle, and end of each block. We also offer individual Performance Lab sessions for athletes who want the deeper breakdown.
