Hyrox is one of the fastest-growing fitness races in the world. If you want to try one, you can get ready right here in Greenville. At Seven Victory Fitness Collective, our practical fitness classes build the strength, stamina, and movement skills you need on race day.

It doesn't matter if this is your first Hyrox or you want to beat your best time. Good training gives you a strong base so you show up ready.

What Is Hyrox?

Hyrox is a race that mixes running with workout stations. Every race uses the same plan, all over the world:

You run 1 km (about 0.6 miles).
Then you do one workout station.
You do this 8 times. That's 8 km of running and 8 stations in all.

The stations always come in this order:

SkiErg – 1,000 meters
Sled push – 50 meters
Sled pull – 50 meters
Burpee broad jumps – 80 meters
Rowing – 1,000 meters
Farmers carry – 200 meters
Sandbag lunges – 100 meters
Wall balls – 100 reps

It's a real test of stamina, power, and grit. It's also a fun way to push yourself past a normal workout.

Pick Your Division

Hyrox has a few ways to race:

Open – The standard race. This is where most people start.
Pro – For racers with more experience. The weights are heavier.
Doubles – You race with a partner. You run together and split the work at each station.
Relay – A team of four. Each person does two of the run-and-station rounds.

Open Division Weights

Here are the Open weights. Sled weights include the sled.

Station	Women	Men
Sled push	102 kg (about 225 lb)	152 kg (about 335 lb)
Sled pull	78 kg (about 172 lb)	103 kg (about 227 lb)
Farmers carry	2 × 16 kg (about 35 lb each)	2 × 24 kg (about 53 lb each)
Sandbag lunges	10 kg (about 22 lb)	20 kg (about 44 lb)
Wall balls	4 kg (about 9 lb)	6 kg (about 13 lb)

Why Practical Fitness Prepares You for Hyrox

Anyone can sign up for a race. But how you train makes all the difference. Here's why practical fitness is a great way to get ready:

🏋️ Real-Life Movements – Our classes include sled pushes, carries, and intervals. These are the same kinds of moves you'll face on race day.
🏃 Running + Strength Together – We mix cardio with strength work, just like a Hyrox race does.
🎯 Coaching on Form – Small fixes help you save energy and stay safe.
🤝 A Supportive Group – Train with people who push you and keep you on track.

You'll get ready for the race and for everyday life at the same time.

How Our Training Supports Hyrox Prep

We don't run a special Hyrox class. Instead, Hyrox-style work is built into our regular classes, like Practical Fitness. Here's what you'll find:

Warm-Up & Mobility – Getting your hips, shoulders, and joints ready to work.
Conditioning – Intervals and steady cardio on rowers and SkiErgs to build your engine.
Strength Stations – Sleds, carries, rows, and lunges in circuits.
Full-Body Workouts – Many moves in one session.
Recovery – Breathing, stretching, and mobility so you keep making progress.

Want a plan built just for your race? Our coaches also offer 1-on-1 personal training. We'll look at where you are now and help you train for race day.

👉 Even if you never race, this style of training gives you a great full-body workout.

How Long Should You Train?

It depends on where you're starting. Here's what most coaching guides suggest:

You already run and lift weights: about 8–12 weeks of focused training.
You're new to working out: about 16–24 weeks. This gives your body time to build up safely.

These are just typical ranges. A coach can help you set a timeline that fits you.

Hyrox FAQ

Can you walk during a Hyrox race? Yes. There's no rule that says you have to run the whole time. Many people walk for parts of the race to save energy.

How long does a Hyrox race take? Most people finish in about an hour and a half. The fastest racers finish in about an hour or less.

Should I pick Open or Pro? If it's your first race, pick Open. Pro uses heavier weights and is made for racers with more experience.

Do I need to train at a Hyrox gym to race? No. Anyone can sign up for a Hyrox race. What matters most is training both your running and your strength, and getting used to doing them back to back.
