10 Reasons Fitness First is the Best Gym to Train for HYROX

HYROX has exploded in popularity because it brings something rare to the fitness world: a race that blends endurance, strength, grit, and strategy.

But this increasingly popular fitness competition didn't just appear from nowhere. It's taken off because it offers something you don't often see in fitness: It's part endurance race, part strength test, and part mental battle stitched together with eight functional stations and eight 1 km runs.

You need lungs, you need power, and you need a game plan.

That's where Fitness First Singapore comes in.

Our members get access to coaches who understand the demands of the race, dedicated HYROX zones designed for purposeful practice, training partners who push you forward, and recovery tools that keep you moving well.

Here’s 10 reasons why (and how) we help you show up ready on race day.

1. Our Coaches Train You With Purpose

HYROX isn’t about showing up and “winging it.” You need a plan. That’s why our HYROX Training Club focuses on structured sessions that build the right kind of strength and endurance. Our certified coaches guide you through every station, teaching you how to move efficiently and pace yourself for the long haul.

Why This Matters

• Train with coaches who understand HYROX competition strategies
• Learn proper sled push/pull mechanics, burpee efficiency, and rower techniques
• Progress through structured programming designed for race-day performance

This isn’t just a general fitness class. It’s HYROX-specific training that prepares you for every movement, transition, and challenge on race day.

2. Your HYROX Community Will Push You Further

Training solo can only take you so far. Surrounding yourself with like-minded athletes pushes you to the next level.

You’ll meet beginners working toward their first race, seasoned athletes chasing a PB, and people who simply want to challenge themselves with something new. The shared energy keeps you accountable, and the friendly competitive vibe pushes you to give a little more each session.

This is important because...

• You'll stay consistent with a motivated training group
• You'll get real-time feedback, support, and encouragement from fellow HYROX athletes
• You'll get to experience the same camaraderie you’ll feel on race day

When you train with others who share your goals, you push harder.

3. You Get Access to The Right Tools

You can’t prep for HYROX on random gym machines. You need the equipment that mirrors race day.

At Fitness First, you'll find:

• sled tracks with competition-style push and pull setups
• SkiErgs and rowers for upper-body endurance
• Assault bikes and treadmills for high-intensity intervals
• kettlebells, sandbags, and free weights for functional power
• space for lunges, burpees, and wall ball training.

Being able to practice with the right tools builds confidence especially for those stations that tend to surprise first-timers.

4. And You Get To Pretend Race

Most HYROX athletes will tell you this: pacing is everything. This is why our HYROX Complete classes include race simulations. You’ll rehearse key stations, practice transitions, and learn how your body responds under race-like fatigue. The more familiar you are with the flow, the steadier you’ll perform when the real event arrives. HYROX Complete classes, allowing you to practice under competition-style conditions.

• Experience full or partial race simulations before competition day
• Get expert feedback on pacing, transitions, and fatigue management
• Develop mental resilience by practicing under pressure

5. Mix It Up With Cross-Training Options

HYROX is a hybrid of strength and endurance, so your training needs to reflect that. Fitness First offers a variety of classes that complement your HYROX workouts by developing power, speed, and conditioning.

Best Classes for HYROX Training:

• HIIT and Circuit Training to improve speed and endurance
• RPM™ & Cycling to enhance cardiovascular stamina
• BODYCOMBAT™ for agility, coordination, and mental toughness
• Signature Class, BURN for a total body strength and conditioning.

A well-rounded training approach ensures you’re strong, fast, and ready to dominate on race day. 

6. And Stay Strong With Right Mobility and Recovery

HYROX training is intense, and recovery is key to staying injury-free while maintaining peak performance. Fitness First provides classes and facilities to help you recover faster and move better.

What’s Available for Recovery?

• Mind and Body Classes to improve flexibility and reduce tightness
• Sauna and Steam Rooms to boost circulation and aid relaxation

When you recover well, you train harder and perform better.
