Fit as a Fiddle Friday: What is the sport of HYROX?

Fit as a Fiddle icon

Last week, on Fit as a Fiddle Friday: BARCH (Gaelic for respect), I celebrated our gym in Richmond, UK, whose tagline is No Ego Training.

This week at BARCH, in our Thursday morning circuits training class, Will Taylor (the founder), introduced us to the sport of HYROX.

What is the sport of Hyrox?

HYROX combines both running and functional workout stations, where participants run 1km, followed by 1 functional workout station, repeated eight times. Races are hosted indoors in expansive exhibition halls, creating an immersive and electrifying race, where your spectators can support you from the very beginning to the very end. This race format remains consistent across the globe, enabling global leaderboards and a cumulative World Championships at the end of each race season. Accommodating both professional athletes, and everyday fitness enthusiasts looking to take their training to the next level, HYROX is the sport for everybody.

In Will’s words here, and this gives you a great snippet of Will’s contagious, high-energy personality.

Fitness No ego training

I love trying new things in the gym!

  • What is your favourite type of workout?
  • How do you vary your workouts to train different aspects of fitness and not get stale or stagnant?

NUGGETS began in the fall of 2010 when our oldest daughter left for college. (Make it a Great Monday; Stay Whole Tuesday; Woman Power Wednesday; Make Anything Thursday; and Fit as a Fiddle Friday.) All these years later, we have a UGA grad, a SCAD grad, a Fightin’ Texas Aggie grad, and 1500 nuggets. Plus, Mum and Dad up and moved to England. Those are my daughters above, and their guiding light – truly my every gPage Singletary thing.

Dear Harvey: Staying in the Game

In the end, Harvey, you left us your Little Red Book—a lifetime of lessons condensed into something small enough to fit in a pocket, yet broad enough to guide generations. These letters are my attempt, in a much humbler way, to do the same—to gather what the game has taught me so far, and to keep discovering what lies at the edges.
