How to train for your first Hyrox
Eight kilometers of running, eight stations. How to train so you cross the finish line feeling good.
Hyrox singles, doubles or relay: which division to pick?
Open, Pro, Doubles, Relay: four ways to do the same race. Which one to choose for your first Hyrox.
The Hyrox course is always the same: 8 times 1 km of running and 8 stations. What changes is who you do it with and how heavy the loads are.
Open
The division most solo athletes enter. You do the whole race alone with standard weights. It's the right choice for a first Hyrox if you want the full experience.
Pro
Same course, solo, with heavier weights at the stations. Save it for later, once Open no longer worries you.
Doubles
In pairs. You run every kilometer together and split the work at the stations however you like. It's the ideal way in: less intimidating, more fun, and you can take turns when it gets hard.
Relay
In teams of four. Each person runs 2 km and does two stations. Great for trying the atmosphere with friends without doing the whole course.
Our take
For a first race, Doubles or Relay let you discover Hyrox gently. If you already train running and strength regularly, Open is a great goal a few months out.
Volta helps you prepare for any division, with running, strength and Hyrox simulation workouts spread across your week.
