What is Hyrox and why is The Union a Hyrox Training Club?

Written By Molly Badger

Hyrox is the world series of fitness racing that has taken the fitness world by storm. It is genius test of cardiovascular fitness and muscular endurance that is accessible to the young and the old, beginners and pros, and fun to do with friends. It is also standardized, so you can see your progress over time.

We’re excited to bring this training and coaching to The Union and we think it fits perfectly with our goal of continuous physical, mental and emotional improvement.

Created in Germany in 2017, it’s a global fitness race that combines running and functional workout stations in a fixed, standardized course. The course includes a 1 km run followed by 1 functional workout station repeated 8 times.

This makes the total race:

- 8 km (roughly 5 miles in freedom units) of running

- 8 workout stations

All events are held indoors in large arenas, creating a stadium like atmosphere with spectators close to the action.

Hi there. I'm Molly, and I'm a dabbler. I'm one of those people who is constantly moving, buzzing between teaching and practicing Ashtanga and creating whole food messes in my tiny kitchen. I'm a recently converted health and fitness nut lucky enough to be raising two young crazies with my favorite history buff and other half.. I like to think of myself as a creative mind with a zeal for life (it sounds much better than messy, scatterbrained, and five minutes late), which I'm attempting to document in this lovely little corner of cyberspace. The last year of my life has changed me, I think and hope, for the far far better. I took a leap into the healthy and active unknown and left a career in pastry to pursue more wholesome and nourishing goals. A move which then led me to the beauty of the steady, joy-filled yoga path. These are the things that make me. The things I want to share with the ones I love. And so here we are. In the midst of this wild ride there are two things that keep my ever-spinning world grounded. We breathe. And we eat.
