When you want to start training, open HWPO HYROX in the HWPO Training app and you’ll be met with a welcome screen explaining how to get started. Here’s a summary of the next steps:
SCHEDULE YOUR START
You should start training exactly eight weeks before your race day. For example, if your race is in 10 weeks on a Saturday, begin training in two weeks, starting on the Monday. Day 1 should always be a Monday — this ensures you peak at the right time for race day.
For example, if you’re racing HYROX Chicago in November 2025:
RACE DAY | START DAY 1 |
FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 14 | MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 22 |
SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 15 | MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 22 |
SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 16 | MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 22 |
If the day you purchased this program doesn’t line up with your ideal training start date, you’ll need to reschedule it. Here’s how:
/01 On the day you want to start training, head to the app and open HYROX, then tap the calendar icon
/02 Input the number ‘1’ in the DAY entry box
/03 Refresh your app
/04 Select your preferred track
If you have any trouble with this, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us — we’re here to help!
SELECTING YOUR TRACK
You’ve got two options for HYROX training: choose 5x/week for full-volume prep, or 2x/week for a lower-frequency option that supplements your existing training routine. Here’s how to select your track:
/01 Navigate to your HYROX program
/02 Tap the drop-down arrow at the top
/03 Select your preferred track
You can repeat and re-use your HYROX race prep track at any time by simply rescheduling your Day 1 to align with your next race. We recommend updating your PRs in the app so your training progressions are updated, and following one of our other programs year-round to stay in great condition.
