ELITE PLAN

Train Like an Elite HYROX Performer

High-performance HYROX program built for athletes who want to train, think, and perform at a higher level.


For:

Athletes who are ready to take their training seriously, not just in volume, but in intent, structure, and consistency.

This is for those who:

  • Have the time to train and recover properly

  • Are willing to train with discipline and consistency

  • Can stay focused on long-term performance goals

  • Want to approach HYROX with a performance-first mindset


What is the Elite Plan?

The Elite Plan is an advanced progression of our All-Season methodology, designed for athletes who want to train like elite performers, regardless of their current level.

It combines:

  • Higher training demands

  • Greater structure and intent

  • Increased focus on performance development

This is not just more training, it’s a different standard of training.


Program Highlights

High-Performance Structure
A progression of the All-Season Plan with increased volume, intensity, and specificity

Double Sessions
Strategically implemented to maximize adaptation and performance

Race-Specific Development
Advanced compromised workouts at race pace and beyond

Performance-Driven Programming
All sessions are prescribed relative to your own performance benchmarks (e.g. 5k pace, strength levels, erg outputs), rather than fixed numbers

Built for Consistency
Designed for athletes training year-round with clear performance intent
