HYROX

CrossFit Great Stour has been helping people become stronger, fitter and more capable for over 12 years.

In July 2025, we became an official HYROX Training Club, adding dedicated HYROX training alongside our established CrossFit programme.

For us, HYROX isn’t a replacement for CrossFit, it complements it.

It gives our members another way to train, compete and challenge themselves, while also welcoming people who specifically want to experience HYROX-style training.

Whether you’re preparing for your first HYROX, looking to improve your race time, or simply enjoy this style of training, our HYROX sessions are designed to develop the strength, endurance and engine you need.

What is HYROX?

HYROX is a global fitness race combining running with functional workout stations.

Every race follows the same format: 8 x 1km runs, each followed by a functional workout station, including movements such as sled pushes, sled pulls, rowing, SkiErg, farmers carries, sandbag lunges and wall balls.

It creates a unique fitness challenge — requiring strength, endurance, pacing and the ability to keep working when fatigue sets in.

HYROX + CrossFit

We don’t see HYROX and CrossFit as either/or.

They complement each other.

CrossFit develops broad, well-rounded fitness across strength, conditioning, gymnastics, weightlifting and functional movement.

HYROX allows us to apply many of those qualities to a different competitive format, with a greater emphasis on running, sustained conditioning and muscular endurance.

For existing CrossFit athletes, HYROX provides a fresh challenge and another opportunity to put their fitness to the test.

For those specifically interested in HYROX, it can also be a great introduction to structured functional fitness training and our community at CrossFit Great Stour.

Our facility is equipped with the kit needed to train specifically for HYROX, including SkiErgs, RowErgs, sleds, dedicated sled turf, wall balls, kettlebells, sandbags and more.

You Don’t Need to Be Racing

HYROX training isn’t only for competitors.

You can train with us simply because you enjoy the sessions and want to become fitter.

Everything can be adapted to your current ability, and you don’t need previous CrossFit or HYROX experience to get started.

If you decide to race, we’ll help you build towards it.

If you don’t, you’ll still get stronger, fitter and more capable.

Ready to Train?

Whether your goal is your first HYROX, a faster HYROX, or simply becoming a fitter version of yourself, we’d love to have you train with us.

CrossFit. HYROX. One community. One goal: better fitness.
