Hyrox Doubles is all about teamwork, pacing, and strategy.

The 6-Week Hyrox Performance Accelerator (Doubles Edition) is built to sharpen both your fitness and your ability to race smoothly with a partner.

Workouts are structured for split stations, synchronized running, and partner transitions so you know exactly how to approach race day.

From compromised running intervals to doubles-specific conditioning blocks, you’ll train to stay strong while your partner works — and recover fast so you’re ready for your next effort.

Designed For Hyrox
Most Hyrox training plans throw together random workouts. This isn’t one of them. The 6-Week Hyrox Performance Accelerator is built with purpose: every session has a clear link to the race. You won’t just “get fitter” — you’ll get better at Hyrox.

FAQs
Do I need access to a Hyrox gym?
You will need access to Hyrox equipment: Kettlebells, Wall Ball, and Sandbag alongside standard gym equipment. The sleds are optional, and the program was written with the option of a rower or SkiErg. Running can be done on a treadmill or outside.
What if I don’t have a sled?
No problem — sled work only appears in the optional “Coach’s Day.” If you don’t have one, simply skip that section without missing the benefits of the program.
How long are the workouts?
Sessions take 45–70 minutes, depending on the day. Long enough to build race readiness, short enough to fit into a busy week.
How many days per week is the program?
Five structured sessions, with an optional “Coach’s Day” for sleds and prehab. Rest and recovery are built in.
Do I keep the program after 6 weeks?
Yes! It’s a one-time purchase with lifetime access. You can repeat it or return to it before your next race.
How is the program delivered?
You’ll receive it through the TrainHeroic app, where you can log results, track progress, and access video demos for every exercise.
What support do I get?
You’ll join our private TrainHeroic group chat, where you’ll get weekly coaching tips, motivation, and answers to your questions.
What’s the difference between Solo and Doubles program?
The Solo version is built around individual pacing and full station reps. The Doubles version adapts the workouts for split station work, partner transitions, and active recovery — so you can train exactly how you’ll race.
Can I follow this program if I’ve never done Hyrox before?
This program is designed for intermediate to advanced athletes (the volume and intensity are higher than the 12-week plan). It’s suitable for first-time Hyrox competitors. If it’s your first race, you’ll get the exact structure and pacing strategies you need to feel confident on the course.
What if I can’t train with my Hyrox partner?
No problem — the Doubles Program is written so you can complete all sessions solo. You’ll follow the same structure and still build the fitness, pacing, and station efficiency needed for race day. If you do get the chance to train with your partner, that’s a bonus.
