Question 1

What is a SIM-ilar class at CrossFit BC?

Accepted Answer

SIM-ilar is CrossFit BC's 90-minute HYROX simulation session: 8 stations, 8 runs, race-day rhythm. The name ("SIM" + "similar") was chosen out of respect for the official HYROX SIM event format. Same race-day feel, programmed by HYROX Certified Performance Coaches who race it themselves.

Question 2

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

Accepted Answer

Regular 60-minute HYROX classes drill stations, transitions, and conditioning in segments. SIM-ilar is the full 90-minute race-format experience back-to-back: every station, every run, in race order. It's the closest you'll get to race day without paying a registration fee.

Question 3

How often does SIM-ilar run?

Accepted Answer

3 of our 18 weekly HYROX sessions are SIM-ilar. The schedule is published in Wodify; active members can reserve any spot as soon as the week opens, with no waitlist tier and no surcharge.

Question 4

Why is SIM-ilar members-only?

Accepted Answer

SIM-ilar is our highest-demand session. Reserving every spot for active members protects coaching quality, keeps capacity manageable, and rewards the people who show up week after week. Drop-ins and free-trial guests can join any of the 60-minute HYROX classes instead.

Question 5

What equipment does a SIM-ilar session use?

Accepted Answer

All 8 official HYROX stations on-site: SkiErg, sled push, sled pull, burpee broad jumps, rower, farmers carry, sandbag lunges, and wall balls, plus a true running lane. Programmed loads match Open and Pro divisions.

Question 6

Do I need HYROX experience to attend SIM-ilar?

Accepted Answer

No. Most members start in regular 60-minute HYROX classes for a few weeks to learn the stations, then add SIM-ilar once movement and pacing feel solid. Coaches will tell you when you're ready.
