If you’re looking to take your HYROX prep beyond our class offerings, we’ve got great news — our Open Gym space at 15 Necco St. is now fully equipped with everything you need to train for race day. Whether you’re chasing your first finish or aiming for a new PR, you can now practice every HYROX station on your own schedule.

Let’s be honest: the SkiErg is humbling. It rewards efficiency, punishes ego, and will absolutely call out sloppy form—especially during a HYROX race. Too many athletes try to muscle their way through it with flailing arms and sheer willpower. But the truth is, you can’t out-muscle bad form. Not here. Not on race day. Not if you’re looking to perform (and recover) like an athlete.
