Hybrid Heat: Build & Burn is for the everyday athlete who lifts but wants more. It’s built for those who want to lean out, improve conditioning, and become more well-rounded—without losing strength.

This program combines strength training, hypertrophy (muscle-building), and endurance conditioning (running, rowing, HIIT) to help you build a strong, lean, and functional body making it perfect for anyone looking to move with purpose and intensity.

A great pre-HYROX prep plan: This program is ideal for anyone who’s already been focused on strength and is ready to start layering in conditioning. With a beginner-friendly running progression and functional full-body lifts, it lays the groundwork for the endurance and work capacity required in a HYROX training block.
