What is hybrid training?

Hybrid training is a programming approach that develops strength and endurance in the same training week, so you can lift heavy and run far instead of specializing in only one. It is the engine behind fitness racing, where you need a barbell base and a cardio base at once.

A plain-language definition from the CrossFit BC glossary. We explain the term the way a coach would explain it mid-class, then show where it fits in an actual training week.

Common questions

Is hybrid training the same as CrossFit?

They overlap but are not identical. CrossFit is one method of constantly varied functional fitness. Hybrid training is the broader principle of building strength and endurance together, which CrossFit, HYROX, and structured strength-plus-cardio programs all apply.

Can beginners do hybrid training?

Yes. The loads, distances, and intensities all scale. A coach sequences your strength and conditioning so they build on each other instead of leaving you constantly sore or burnt out.

Where can I do hybrid training in Vancouver?

CrossFit BC programs hybrid training across CrossFit, HYROX, weightlifting, and personal coaching under one roof at 278 East 1st Avenue in Olympic Village.
