Hyrox vs CrossFit: Which is the best workout?
More than 100,000 people took part in a Hyrox race in 2023 in 17 different countries, with hundreds of thousands of others doing the workout in their local gym as a way to tone up and get into shape.
After starting in Germany in 2017, it’s fast becoming a global phenomenon, combining short runs with the kind of fitness movements you find in many gym workouts. Walk down the road or have a jog around the park and you’re guaranteed to see at least one person with a black Hyrox-branded vest or baseball cap.
Of course, it’s not the newest on the block as competitions have been taking place since 2000. Search Amazon Prime or Apple TV for movies like and and you’ll see just how seriously it’s taken, with prize money of £300,000 on offer to the male and female winners of the Crossfit Games global event. What’s more, The CrossFit Games YouTube channel has 1 million subscribers. Wherever you live in the UK, you’re likely to be within driving distance of a CrossFit gym
