Which Birmingham gyms run dedicated Hyrox programming?

SCFIT (Stirchley, B30). Second City CrossFit's site calls the gym an official Hyrox gym, with coached Hyrox classes Monday to Saturday on turf lanes. The most Hyrox-committed operation we found in the city.

The Gym Group Perry Barr (Perry Barr). The chain is an official Hyrox training partner across its clubs, and its page names Perry Barr as one of the Hyrox-equipped sites. Check the class schedule at the club before you turn up for a session.

Velocity Training Club (Sutton Coldfield, B74). Hyrox classes on the timetable, north of the city. The option if you're on that side.

Do you need a Hyrox gym at all?

No. The race is eight 1 km runs and eight stations, so what you need is running volume plus regular access to sleds, ergs, a sandbag and a wall-ball target. A Hyrox class mostly buys you three things: pacing practice at race intensity, time on race-standard equipment, and a crew who'll be on the same start line. The station training guide covers what to do with whatever gym you have.

Racing Birmingham?

The Hyrox Birmingham page has the race facts and the waitlist. AthleteField matches athletes on real race data, same-gym athletes first, so when the Birmingham field opens, your gym's crew finds each other before race day. How a good target time is set and what a good Hyrox time is are the two most-asked questions we answer.
