WHERE TO TRAIN HYROX IN BARCELONA
Eight kilometres of running split into eight legs, and between each leg a station that empties you out. Hyrox isn’t decided on race day: it’s decided in the weeks before. At KOR we prepare for it at Les Corts and Arc de Triomf, with specific sessions and coaches who know what each day calls for.
[ WHAT IT IS ]
A FITNESS RACE, NOT AN ELITE TEST
Hyrox is always the same format, in any city in the world: 1 km of running, a station, 1 km of running, the next station. Eight times. No surprises and no strange movements on race day: you know exactly what you are going to find.
That is precisely what makes it accessible and what makes it hard. Accessible because you can train for it with precision. Hard because there is nowhere to hide: if you lack an aerobic base, it shows at kilometre four; if you lack strength, it shows on the sled.
You can compete solo, in doubles or in relays, and there are categories from open to elite. Most of the people who train Hyrox with us are not here to win anything: they are here because having a date on the calendar changes how you train the rest of the year.
[ THE COURSE ]
THE EIGHT STATIONS
This is the exact order. Between each one, a kilometre of running.
01
SKIERG
1,000 metres. It opens the race with your heart rate already high and punishes you if you go out too fast.
02
SLED PUSH
50 metres pushing the sled. The first time your legs really fill up.
03
SLED PULL
50 metres pulling. Back and grip, right when your grip starts to fail.
04
BURPEE BROAD JUMP
80 metres of burpee broad jumps. The station most people underestimate.
05
ROW
1,000 metres of rowing. This is where the race is recovered or lost.
06
FARMERS CARRY
200 metres carrying. Grip, core and a cool head.
07
SANDBAG LUNGES
100 metres of lunges with a sandbag on your shoulder. Legs and balance at the limit.
08
WALL BALLS
100 reps. The last one is the longest and the one everybody remembers.
[ THE METHOD ]
HOW WE TRAIN FOR IT
Doing the movements on their own isn’t enough. What you train is the transition: arriving at the station with a high heart rate and still moving well.
AEROBIC BASE
Running and machine work with structure: intervals, paces and long efforts. It is what holds the eight kilometres together and what gets neglected most.
SPECIFIC STRENGTH
Sled, loads and lunges with the exact pattern of the race. Pushing and pulling are trained, not improvised.
TRANSITIONS
Blocks that link running and station with no rest, so the change of pace stops being a wall.

WHO IT IS FOR
YOU HAVE NEVER COMPETED
It doesn’t matter. You start with the aerobic base and the technique of the stations. Your first Hyrox is about finishing it, not about setting a time.
YOU COME FROM CROSSFIT
You have the strength and you lack the running mileage. It is the most common profile and the one that improves fastest.
YOU COME FROM RUNNING
You can handle the eight kilometres, but the sled and the wall balls will surprise you. We work on the strength you are missing.
[ FAQ ]
WHAT PEOPLE USUALLY ASK US
Do I need to be fit to start?
No. You need to want to train consistently. Sessions are scaled: same stimulus, different load. If you are starting from zero, the first month is about learning to move well.
Which clubs train Hyrox?
Les Corts and Arc de Triomf, which are the ones with the specific equipment. At Badalona and Mollet we run CrossFit and hybrid training.
Do I need to sign up for a competition?
No. Plenty of people train the format simply because they enjoy it, without entering anything. If you do enter, we help you plan the weeks beforehand.
How many days a week?
Two specific sessions plus some running on your own is enough to progress. Three or four if you have a race coming up.
What kit do I need?
Shoes you can run and lift in. Nothing else: the rest is at the club.
Can I try it before deciding?
Yes. The first class is free and with no commitment. Write to us and we will book it at whichever club suits you best.
