If you’ve trained for HYROX, you already know this isn’t something you just show up and wing.
There’s pacing, strategy, transitions, gear, and execution. And for most athletes, at least one of those pieces is a guess.
We’ve spent enough time in this Community to see the same friction points come up again and again. So instead of just talking about them, we built tools to solve them.
No fluff, no paywalls, no app downloads. These are free for everyone, whether you’re inside the RMR Training app or not.
Just resources that help you train better and race smarter.
Save them, use them, and share them with your crew.
A lot of races fall apart before they really begin. Athletes go out too hot, lose control of pacing, and spend the second half trying to survive instead of compete.
This lets you actually plan your race. Update your run pace or total run time, plug in your station splits, and see how it all adds up across the full race.
We’ve already accounted for Roxzone distance, so you’re working with real numbers. You can go in with a clear plan instead of guessing in the moment. Check it out here: https://hyroxraceday.com/

HYROX training works best when it’s structured and repeatable. Most timer apps either aren’t free, require a download, or are loaded with ads, which makes sessions harder to execute than they need to be.
This keeps things simple. Set your intervals, start the session, and stay focused on the work.

Don’t have access to a specific piece of HYROX equipment? That’s one of the most common challenges athletes run into, especially in standard gyms or when traveling.
The goal isn’t perfect conditions, it’s the right stimulus. This tool gives you simple, effective HYROX equipment alternatives so you can keep training consistently with what you have.

Race day has enough variables already. Forgetting something small can throw off your entire experience before you even start.
This is a simple, complete checklist so you can show up prepared and focused. One less thing to think about.

All of these tools came directly from conversations inside the RMR Community. They told us where things felt unclear or inefficient, and we built around that.
That’s how we approach everything we do. It’s all designed to help you show up more prepared and perform when it counts.

HYROX training can look simple from the outside. Run. Ski. Push a sled. Pull a sled. Do burpees. Row. Carry. Lunge. Wall ball. Repeat. But once you start trying to actually get better, things get complicated fast. How much running is enough? How often should you do compromised running? Should you train the race movements all year? How do you know if a workout is actually working? Why can some athletes get off a sled and run immediately while others feel like their legs got unplugged? In this

HYROX Race Week Mistakes: What NOT to Do Before Your A Race Preparing for a HYROX A race can bring out the best in an athlete. It can also bring out the panic. As race day gets closer, it is common to start questioning everything. Did I do enough training? Should I add more wall balls? Should I do another simulation? Should I cut a little weight? Should I change my fueling? Should I test my fitness one more time? This is where many HYROX athletes make their biggest mistakes. In this episod
