HYROX Race Ready FAQs

Pacing, transitions and race-day strategy, and the questions athletes ask before they commit to a block.

Is this required before I can do HYROX classes?

No. Unlike our CrossFit Foundations, Race Ready is not mandatory. You can jump into HYROX classes anytime with your membership. However, we highly recommend Race Ready if you're seriously considering doing a HYROX race. It will save you time, prevent mistakes, and give you a clear baseline to train from.

I've never done HYROX. Is this for beginners?

Absolutely. Race Ready is designed specifically for people who are new to HYROX or haven't raced yet. We break down every station, teach proper technique, and build your race plan from scratch. You don't need any prior experience.

What is the HYROX PFT?

The HYROX PFT (Physical Fitness Test) is a structured fitness assessment that tests you across the key demands of HYROX. It gives you a score that helps us (and you) understand your strengths, weaknesses, and where to focus your training. Think of it as your starting line for smart preparation.

I'm already doing CrossFit. Do I still need this?

CrossFit gives you an incredible fitness base, but HYROX has specific demands: pacing across 8 stations, running strategy, transition management, and station-specific technique. Race Ready teaches you how to apply your CrossFit fitness to the HYROX format.

How long are the sessions?

Each session is approximately 75 minutes. That gives us time to cover technique, practice, and strategy without rushing.

Can I do Race Ready if I'm not sure I want to race?

Of course. Many people do Race Ready to explore HYROX before committing to an event. It's a great way to find out if racing is something you'd enjoy, with no pressure to sign up.

When are the sessions scheduled?

Race Ready runs as a cohort in the weeks leading up to major HYROX events. Check the schedule page or ask at the front desk for the next start date.

Do CrossFit BC members get early access to HYROX tickets?

Yes. As an authorized HYROX Training Club, CrossFit BC gives active members early access to HYROX ticket pre-sales for races all over the world before they open to the public, from Vancouver and Toronto to races abroad. Active HYROX class-pack holders count as active members and qualify too. We send the pre-sale code the moment HYROX releases it, so members can lock in their city, division, and time slot before popular races sell out, then travel and race with a crew that trains together. Membership has its privileges.
