Many HYROX athletes make the mistake of focusing solely on endurance and race-specific movements. But if you're serious about improving your HYROX performance, building a strong foundation of functional strength is non-negotiable.

Sam Warburton and Coach Gassy from SW7 Academy have put together a powerful push and pull strength training workout specifically for those training for HYROX. This workout is designed to increase upper body strength, build muscular endurance, and improve your overall athleticism - all of which are essential for smashing your HYROX time.
