What is a HYROX SIM-ilar at CrossFit BC?

A SIM-ilar is a 90-minute HYROX race simulation: 8 stations and 8 runs in race order, programmed and coached by HYROX Certified Performance Coaches. The name (SIM plus similar) is a nod to the official HYROX SIM event format. Same race-day rhythm, no registration fee.

How long does a SIM-ilar take?

90 minutes door to door, including a 12-minute coached warm-up, 60 to 75 minutes of race work, and a 10-minute coach debrief.

Who can attend SIM-ilar at CFBC?

Active CrossFit BC members and HYROX class-pack holders. Drop-ins and free-trial guests are welcome at our 60-minute HYROX classes and the free Sunday Funday HYROX Run Club, then unlock SIM-ilar once they become a member or buy a pack.

How is SIM-ilar different from a regular HYROX class?

Regular HYROX classes drill specific stations, energy systems, or movement quality. SIM-ilar runs the full race in race order with race-spec equipment, so you train pacing, transitions, and decision-making under fatigue, not just fitness.

Do I need to be HYROX-experienced to do a SIM-ilar?

You should be comfortable with the 8 HYROX movements and able to run 5 km without stopping. If you are new, start with our 60-minute HYROX classes for a month, then move into SIM-ilar.
