Hyrox Tampa is October 22 to 25, 2026, the first HYROX race in the city, and thirteen gyms around the bay publish Hyrox programming on their own sites. 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.

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 Tampa?
The Hyrox Tampa page has the race facts and the waitlist. AthleteField matches athletes by pace, gym, division and race. Same-gym athletes come first, so when the Tampa field opens, your gym's crew finds each other before race day. How a good target time is set is one of the most-asked questions we answer.
