What does a typical HYROX class at CrossFit BC look like?

A standard 60-minute session runs: 10-min warm-up (mobility + run drills + activation), 5-min movement primer on the day's stations (e.g. sled mechanics, wall ball depth, ski technique), then a 35-40 min main piece that pairs running intervals with 2-3 race stations – for example 4 × (400 m run + 20 wall balls + 50 m sled push) – finishing with a short cooldown and accessory work for posterior chain or core. Our 90-min SIM-ilar sessions (four per week) stack race-intensity efforts and race-level volume so you rehearse pacing, transitions, and station strategy.

How does scaling work for beginners?

Every movement, load, and distance is scaled to where you are today. Examples: runs become rower or bike intervals if your knees aren't ready; sled push drops to an empty sled or a band-resisted march; wall balls go from 20/14 lb to 14/10 lb, or to a med-ball squat-and-press; burpee broad jumps become step-up burpees; sandbag lunges shorten the distance or drop to bodyweight. Coaches set your scaling at the whiteboard before the clock starts, and you progress on a 4-6 week ramp until you're hitting the prescribed standard.

I'm not a runner. Can I still do HYROX?

Yes. HYROX isn't a running race - it's a fitness race. Running segments are broken up by functional stations, and we train you for all of it. You don't need to be fast to start.

How fit do I need to be to start?

If you can run a few kilometres and do basic functional movements, you're ready. We scale everything. That's what the training is for.

Can I do HYROX and CrossFit?

Absolutely. Most of our HYROX athletes also do CrossFit. The two complement each other perfectly - broad fitness base plus race-specific work.

What are the SIM-ilar classes?

4 of our 16+ weekly HYROX sessions are 90-minute SIM-ilar classes designed to train race intensity, pacing, transitions, and station strategy. They are race-prep classes rather than a literal race replay, and they are one of the best ways to build race-day confidence, rhythm, and readiness.

Is CrossFit BC a HYROX Training Club?

Yes. Every HYROX class is led by a HYROX-certified coach, and our lead coaches race the format themselves.

How does CrossFit BC compare to a HYROX-only gym?

We're not against single-modality HYROX gyms - they have their place. But we offer something different: 16+ HYROX classes a week (4 are 90-min SIM-ilar) plus the CrossFit, Olympic lifting, gymnastics, and personalised coaching that build the strength and engine behind your HYROX time. You get race-specific work AND the broader athletic base that keeps you progressing for the next decade. Same coaches who design your race plan know your back-squat history. That's the hybrid advantage.

What's the Sunday Funday Cardio Club?

Every Sunday, 7:30-8:30am. A coached engine session that is welcoming at every pace. Some weeks a seawall run, some weeks rowing, ski and bike intervals, some weeks a mix. Social at the front and back, honest work in the middle. Free for members and non-members.
