HYROX DUBAI
COMMUNITY

A HYROX race is 8 rounds: a 1 km run, then one workout station, repeated 8 times. That means every athlete completes 8 km of running and 8 stations.

The stations come in this order: SkiErg, sled push, sled pull, burpee broad jumps, rowing, farmers carry, sandbag lunges and wall balls. Everyone does the same workout, so times are easy to compare.

You can race solo in Open or Pro, share the work in HYROX Doubles, or race as a team of four in Relay. That simple format is why people doing HYROX in the UAE can train side by side, even with different goals.

Training with other people makes the hard parts feel more normal. Someone else is learning wall balls, pacing runs, or getting used to the sled too. That helps if you are new, and it keeps experienced racers honest.

Race formats also make it social. Doubles lets you race as a pair, while Relay lets four people take on the course as a team. If you need someone to race with, our guide can help you find a gym buddy.

GymNation has hosted the HYROX Weekender, a two-day GymNation competition at a HYROX Performance Center in Dubai, for Singles and Doubles, open to all levels, with spectators welcome. It was inspired by HYROX training. It was not an official HYROX race.

To train for HYROX with structure, GymNation has HYROX classes with four levels, Foundational, Power, Engine and Complete. They are built so different abilities can work on the race demands in a clear way.

GymNation is an official HYROX partner and has HYROX Performance Centers with equipment by Centr. You can book classes in the GymNation App, then use the gym floor to practise the movements at your own pace.

The best part is the people around you. You may be next to members working towards the same race format, asking the same questions, or building confidence for their first start line.
