Strong & Functional Hyrox

Take the guess work out of your Hyrox training!

I created this program to make Hyrox training as simple and effective as possible. Every session and rest day is intentional. Before I release a program, I follow the latest science, while trying things out and testing other programs for myself. The problems I find with most Hyrox and hybrid training is unnecessary volume + training too hard every day risking injury and hindering performance. I follow a high-low method, a strategy that alternates between high and low CNS stress. It involves maximizing workload and recovery. In the gym, it alternates between heavy and light training to drive maximal gains while managing fatigue.

My structured 12-week program focuses on building strength, endurance, muscle, + injury prevention, while ensuring you're well prepared to tackle the challenges of a Hyrox race.

Endurance
You will be prepared to take on the high volume of repetitions within each Hyrox event. Expect to see a mixture of aerobic and anaerobic running while also training for each station
benefit-image-1
Strength + Muscle
Compound and isolation exercises to increase work capacity and prepare tissues for the high volume race
benefit-image-2
Mobility + Injury Prevention
Strength meets flexibility. Spend less time stretching and more time becoming strong AND flexible. Mobility will be integrated into our strength work as well as the 10 minutes of prep before every session
