HYROX race-format training at Move Strong in Kitchener-Waterloo

What you'll work toward

Race readiness

Race-style training against yourself — a specific target to measure progress against.

Conditioning

Dedicated metabolic conditioning — the system that raises VO2 max and cardiovascular output.

Structured progression

Conditioning separated from strength work and phased intentionally, so neither drags the other down.

Who it's for

HYROX is for anyone who wants to improve their cardiovascular conditioning or train toward a specific race-format goal. It's accessible to absolutely everyone — you don't need to be an athlete to start.

  • HYROX competitors
  • Athletes
  • Endurance-focused adults

If your primary goal is building strength or muscle, our strength-focused programs like Foundations, Signature, or Define are a better fit. HYROX focuses on cardiovascular output and conditioning.

What a session looks like

Sessions focus on improving your cardiovascular system and VO2 max — a measure of your cardiovascular output. This is where you get your heart rate up and build real conditioning, structured around the HYROX race format.

Metabolic conditioning

Metabolic conditioning — or MetCon — is where we focus on the cardiovascular system. This is the training that improves your VO2 max, gets your heart rate up, and builds real endurance.

While our strength programs deliberately separate conditioning from strength work (because it's not ideal to train strength when you're tired), HYROX and MetCon sessions are dedicated entirely to this cardiovascular output. HYROX simply packages it in a race-style format that gives you a specific, measurable goal to work toward.
