What You Get.

Four pillars run through every block of programming. None of them are optional, that's the point.

01. Programming

Strength & Conditioning Programming.

Periodised blocks that progress with you, strength built first, conditioning layered on, peaking when it matters. No guesswork, no random WODs.

02. Specificity

HYROX-Specific Training.

Sleds, SkiErg, burpee broad jumps, wall balls, run intervals. The eight stations and the running between them, coached, drilled, refined under fatigue.

03. Progression

Structured Progression.

Numbers tracked, lifts logged, splits timed. You'll see the line on the chart go up, because it's measured, not assumed.

04. Coaching

Coaching-Led Sessions.

Every rep watched, every set called, every error corrected the moment it happens. You don't train alone, you're trained.

The Elements.

Four core training elements, drilled and progressed across every cycle. Hover to see them in motion.

01Power · Capacity

Sled Work.

Push and pull progressions, the truest test of leg drive and lung capacity in HYROX.

02Endurance · Threshold

Running.

Tempo, threshold, intervals, built around the 1k-on-1k-off demands of race pace.

03Capacity · Skill

Wall Balls & Conditioning.

Wall balls, rowing, burpee broad jumps, drilled until pace under fatigue is automatic.

SkiErg training at Physical Formula
04Power · Pacing

SkiErg.

Race-spec SkiErg intervals, coached for pacing, breathing and the bite at the bottom of every lap.

How We Train For HYROX.

Three pillars in every session, layered together so the work compounds. Base, build, peak. Coached on the floor, programmed around you.

Pillar 01Engine

Base.

Engine building, movement quality, baseline numbers logged. The foundation that everything else compounds on top of.

  • Aerobic base
  • Movement standards
  • Strength priming
Pillar 02Capacity

Build.

Volume climbs, race patterns enter the programme, intensity rises. Sled, ski and run combined under fatigue.

  • Race-pattern intervals
  • Strength volume up
  • Pacing drills
Pillar 03Race-Ready

Peak.

Race-specific intensity, heavy days backed off, sharpness peaked for race week. Tested in mock-races, sharpened in taper.

  • Mock race weekends
  • Race-pace work
  • Tapered, primed, ready
From the floor To the start line

Session Anatomy.

Sixty minutes, four phases. Every session built the same way, so the work compounds.

0110 min

Prime.

Mobility, activation, movement prep, primed for output, not warm for the sake of it.

0225 min

Strength.

Primary lift, accessory work, structural balance. The foundation everything else depends on.

0315 min

Conditioning.

HYROX-pattern intervals, sled, ski, run, burpee broad. Race intent, race pacing.

0410 min

Finish.

Capacity finisher or skill block. Recovery cued. Numbers logged before you leave the floor.

The Numbers Move.

The Questions

Before You Start.

The questions we hear most from people thinking about HYROX prep with us.

No. Plenty of members train in the performance block because they want the structure and intensity, without ever lining up at a start line. Race-readiness is a by-product of the work, not the price of admission.
Most members start there. Running is built progressively across the block, pace before volume, technique before threshold. By Week 8 you'll be running differently than you did in Week 1.
No. We pair members up within the cohort if you don't have one, and most doubles teams here met on the floor. If you arrive with a partner, the programming will run for both of you in sync.
It depends on where you are starting. Most members who commit consistently feel race-ready within a few months. We coach around the date you are working towards and build the path from there.
Trainers you can run in, kit you can lift in, water. The gym has every piece of HYROX-spec equipment, sled, SkiErg, rower, wall balls, sandbags. Nothing else to buy.
Three to four sessions a week is the sweet spot for most. Programmed sessions on the floor, plus solo run work delivered to your phone. Consistency over volume, every block.

Coach's Note

Performance isn't an idea, it's a number that moves. Week after week, block after block. We coach the work that makes it move.
