Our Approach
We focus on practical, actionable advice. Every recommendation is based on the collective experience of HYROX athletes, established sports science principles, and real race data. We do not promote products we would not use ourselves.
Who We Are
HYROX Guide is an independent resource site built by fitness enthusiasts who train for and participate in HYROX races. We are not a coaching business or a certification body — we are athletes who wanted a comprehensive, free resource for the HYROX community.
Our content is researched from established sports science literature, official HYROX race data, and the practical experience of training for these events. We aim to present information that is accurate, useful, and grounded in real training practice.

- Evidence-Based — Training advice is grounded in established sports science principles. Where we cite research, we link to peer-reviewed sources.
- Experience-Tested — Every recommendation has been tested in actual HYROX training and competition. We do not publish theoretical advice.
- Regularly Updated — Content is reviewed and updated whenever HYROX changes its format, weights, or rules. We also update articles based on new sports science research and reader feedback.
- No Conflicts of Interest — We are not paid by any equipment manufacturer, supplement company, or training program to promote their products. Our gear recommendations are based solely on our experience and reader feedback.
- Transparent — This site is funded through advertising. We clearly disclose this in our privacy policy and keep ads separated from editorial content.
