HYROX is the fastest-growing race on the planet — 1.5 million racers in the 2025/26 season, 100+ events, 30+ countries. Every race is identical worldwide, so the gear that preps you is the same everywhere. Here's exactly what to buy, and how each option stacks up.
Racer, event and revenue figures: SportsPro, April 2026 · station weights: HYROX rulebook 2025/26.
Every station is preceded by a 1 km run — 8 km of running in total, and the single biggest lever on your finish time. Treadmills that survive interval work →

Pro divisions lift heavier — Pro men: 202 kg sled push, 2×32 kg farmers carry, 30 kg sandbag, 9 kg ball. Pro women throw a 6 kg ball for 100 reps to the same 2.7 m target as Open women. Doubles and relay teams use their singles-division weights, they just split the volume. Source: HYROX Singles rulebook 2025/26. Every division completes 100 valid reps — only the ball weight and the target height change, and the ergs are preset to damper 6 for everyone. Older guides still quote “75 reps” for Open women; that is not in the current rulebook. Train for 100.
Every station above, mapped onto the same 18-muscle body we use across the whole site. Tap a station for its full guide — or open the interactive muscle map →
Prime mover = the muscle doing the work · synergist = helping · stabilizer = holding you together. Muscle attribution is ours: it is the same model we use on the muscle map tool.

Compare sleds →100 reps to a target. 4 / 6 / 9 kg by division. Which ball actually feels right at rep 80?
