Hyrox Gym in Birmingham - SCFIT - Home of Second City CrossFit

Q: 1. What is HYROX training?

HYROX is a global fitness racing event made up of running intervals and functional fitness movement ‘stations’. HYROX training at SCFIT not only prepares you for this specific type of racing event, but is also a fun and exciting way to level up your fitness even if you have no interest in competing!

Q: 2. Is HYROX suitable for beginners?

Absolutely! Both HYROX training and the races themselves are designed to be inclusive and accessible, with no Olympic Weightlifting or gymnastic movements, making HYROX the perfect fitness option for beginners. In every class, weighted movements can be scaled to your individual experience and fitness level, and distances and time domains can be adjusted to you.

Q: 3. I don’t want to compete. Is HYROX Training still for me?

Yes! You don’t need to compete to do HYROX classes – HYROX-style fitness is a fantastic training programme in its own right, and a great option for a range of health fitness goals. Whether you’re hoping to lose weight, build endurance, or if you’re simply looking to take part in group classes with like-minded individuals, HYROX training is ideal for you!

Q: 4. Can I do CrossFit AND Hyrox?

Absolutely! CrossFit and Hyrox complement each other extremely well. Both share some common movements, and taking part in both types of training can be a fantastic way to keep your routine varied. Check out our pricing page for details on combined CrossFit & HYROX memberships.

Q: 5. Do I have to be fit to do HYROX?

No, HYROX is accessible for experienced athletes and total beginners alike, and anyway – training for HYROX is how you get fit! For those who want to take part in HYROX racing events, SCFIT’s HYROX classes will help equip you for just that – building a solid foundation of fitness so you can sign up to your first event feeling confident and capable.
