Will CrossFit make me slower at HYROX?

No. CrossFit builds the broad fitness base that supports HYROX performance. Most athletes who add CrossFit to their HYROX training see improvements in their station times and overall race performance because they're stronger and more resilient.

How many CrossFit sessions should I do alongside HYROX?

Most of our athletes do 3 CrossFit sessions and 1 to 2 HYROX SIM-ilar sessions per week. Your coach can help you adjust based on where you are in your training cycle and how your body is recovering.

Can beginners do both CrossFit and HYROX?

Yes. We recommend starting with our Foundations program or regular CrossFit classes to build a base first, then adding HYROX sessions when you're ready. There's no rush.

Do CrossFit BC coaches have HYROX racing experience?

Yes. Our certified HYROX coaches have raced themselves and understand firsthand what race day demands. They coach from experience, not just theory.

What are SIM-ilar classes?

Our 90-minute race simulation classes run 3 times a week and replicate the full HYROX race format at race pace, including transitions. They're the closest thing to racing without actually being on race day.
