What is HYROX?

HYROX is a competitive, indoor fitness event. OCR Factory was the first HYROX affiliated gym in Nordic Countries.


A HYROX competition is made up of a 1km run followed by 1 functional workout, repeated 8 times (meaning 8km run in total, plus 8 functional workouts). It requires strength, speed, power and endurance and, in many ways, is a fantastic test of overall fitness. There are a variety of categorisations (see below) which, amongst other things, makes it an event suitable for a range of physical abilities.

HYROX events take place all over the world, with each one being exactly the same in terms of requirements. The event is particularly popular with runners, triathletes, OCR competitors and CrossFit athletes.


The requirements / exercises for each HYROX event are as follows:

1km Run

1km Ski (on Concept2 SkiErg)

1km Run

50m Sled Push (102kg – 202kg*)
