Do I need to be in shape before my first HYROX class?

No. The number one reason people delay starting is waiting to get in shape first. Every movement scales — sled weight, wall ball load, lunge load, even the running can be subbed for a row. Show up where you are this week and the coach will meet you there.

How long is a HYROX class at CrossFit BC?

60 minutes. Roughly 10 minutes warm-up, 10 minutes skill work on stations, 30 minutes of conditioning, and 10 minutes of cool-down and debrief.

Will I do the full HYROX race format on day one?

No. The race is 8 km of running plus 8 stations — about 60 to 90 minutes at race pace. A beginner class typically uses 2 to 3 stations and 600 to 1000 m of total running, scaled to your level.

What should I wear and bring to my first HYROX class?

Indoor training shoes (running shoes are fine for week one), workout clothes you can move in, and a water bottle. Arrive 10 minutes early so the coach can show you the floor and answer questions before warm-up.

How sore will I be after my first class?

Moderately sore for 2 to 3 days, mostly in glutes, quads, and shoulders. It is manageable, not destructive — we program to leave you wanting one more round, not crawling to your car. Coming back within 48 hours for a lighter session usually clears soreness faster than rest.

Is the first class actually free?

Yes. Your first 3 HYROX classes are completely free. No credit card, no commitment. You decide after you have actually trained with us.
