hyrox equipment: complete list for your preparation<\/h1>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

In just a few years, the Hyrox has become the global fitness phenomenon, combining running and functional exercise in an accessible yet demanding competition format. Whether you’re an experienced hybrid athlete or preparing for your very first race, your choice of equipment is crucial. Unlike other disciplines, this competition is standardized: weights, distances and exercises are always the same. This means that with the right hyrox equipment<\/strong>, you can replicate race conditions exactly at home or in your gym. <\/p>\n\n

To perform on the big day, it’s not enough to just run. You need to master the 8 stations that punctuate the miles of running. In this comprehensive guide, we’ll review all the equipment you need to turn your garage gym or box into an official training center, backed by the professional quality of the GladiatorFit Swiss catalog. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Must-have cardio machines for hyrox<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Running accounts for around 50% of the effort at a Hyrox event, but the cardio machines (ergometers) are strategic events where precious minutes can be gained or lost. These stations require impeccable technique and specific effort management. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The rowing machine for muscular endurance<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The rowing machine is station number 5 in the race. After you’ve already run 5 km and performed 4 strength tests, you’ll have to cover 1000 meters on this machine. The rowing machine uses more than 80% of the body’s muscles and tests your muscular endurance. <\/p>\n\n

For optimum preparation, it’s crucial to train on reliable equipment that offers air resistance similar to competition standards. The aim is to learn how to manage your pace under fatigue. A good rowing machine should enable you to track your watts and strokes per minute accurately. At GladiatorFit, we offer robust models designed to handle high training volumes without faltering. <\/p>\n\n

Incorporating the rowing machine into your hyrox physical preparation<\/strong> sessions will not only improve your cardio, but also strengthen your posterior chain and sheathing, essential for going the distance.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The ski trainer for the upper body<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The SkiErg (or ski trainer) is the very first station of the race (Station 1), just after the first kilometer of the run. You’ll have to cover 1000 meters. It’s a race that gets your heart rate soaring, and quickly congests your triceps, shoulders and back. <\/p>\n\n

Having a ski trainer<\/strong> at your disposal is a major asset. Many beginners neglect this machine, thinking that the technique is intuitive. This is a mistake. Poor technique on the ski trainer leads to premature arm fatigue before you’ve even tackled the rest of the race. Training on this machine should focus on using body weight and engaging the abdominals to pull the handles down, rather than relying entirely on arm strength. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Although running<\/strong> is usually done on an indoor circuit at events, training can vary. If you’re lucky enough to have a professional treadmill (motorized or curved), you can work on your “machine-to-run” transitions more easily. This is what we call “brick” training: going from intense muscular effort to running with no rest time. <\/p>\n\n

However, there’s no substitute for actual running to work on your stride. The ideal is to combine the two: <\/p>\n
