Hyrox comes back to Rome September 23 to 27, 2026, and the city has gyms running published Hyrox programming. This is a map, not a ranking: every entry below comes from what each gym publishes about its own training, with a link to the page we took it from. If we've missed yours, email hello@athletefield.co.

Which Rome gyms run dedicated Hyrox programming?
WIP Fitness Studios (Via Labicana 29, by the Colosseum). Their site lists Hyrox among its programs: high-energy functional sessions merging running, strength and competition. Training for this race a ten-minute walk from the Colosseum is a hard setting to beat.
Virgin Active Roma Piazza Indipendenza (Via Curtatone 7, near Termini). Publishes a 45-minute Hyrox Training Club class on its schedule; the same class also appears on the Roma Talenti club's schedule. The big-chain option if you want Hyrox work inside a full-service club membership.
Passion Fitness (Via Flavio Stilicone 238, Tuscolana, toward Cinecitta). The most equipment-committed entry: a dedicated page describing a 200 square metre group Hyrox area with three sleds on a regulation 15.5 metre track, ski ergs, rowers and wall balls, run by certified trainers. If sled practice on race-length track is what your training is missing, this is the one.
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 Rome?
The Hyrox Rome page has the race facts and the waitlist. AthleteField matches athletes on real race data, same-gym athletes first, so when the Rome 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.
