HYROX.
Race ready.
Coached by two athletes who race HYROX themselves. Racing Vancouver in December? Our 8 week prep starts with a time trial on Oct 24.
HYROX is a global fitness race held in arenas worldwide. Every race is identical: you run 1km, complete a functional workout station, run another 1km, repeat. Eight times. First to finish wins.
Unlike obstacle races or CrossFit competitions, HYROX is standardised: same format, same weights, same movements worldwide. That means your time in Vancouver is directly comparable to someone racing in London or New York. There's a leaderboard. There's a standard to beat.
It rewards exactly what zone6 trains: running endurance, functional strength, and the ability to perform when you're already breathing hard.
Weights vary by category (Open, Pro, Doubles, Mixed Doubles, Relay). In total: 8 km of running and 8 stations.
Ed and Justin don't just coach HYROX. They race it. That means your programming is built on actual race experience, not theory. When your coach has crossed that finish line themselves, the advice is different.
HYROX rewards a rare combination: the ability to run and lift when you're already deep in oxygen debt. zone6 programs specifically for that. Every training block builds the capacity you'll need on race day.
Thursdays at 6:30pm, the crew trains together at First Heat. You don't need a HYROX race on the calendar to show up. The sessions are open to everyone. The community keeps the standard high.
Our free weekly session. Speed, power and conditioning: the same physical qualities HYROX demands, trained the right way. Thursdays at Percy Perry Stadium, Coquitlam.
A program built specifically for your race, your timeline, and your weaknesses. Weekly check-ins, nutrition targets, and direct access to coaches who have stood on the same start line.
No. Most people who train with us are preparing for their first race. The Thursday sessions are open to all fitness levels. You don't need to know what a SkiErg is on day one.
It depends on your base. If you already train a few times a week and can run 3 km without stopping, 8 focused weeks is enough to race well, which is how our Vancouver Prep is built. Starting from a low base, give yourself 16 weeks or more.
Weights vary by category. Men's Open: 152 kg sled push, 103 kg sled pull, 2 x 24 kg farmers carry, 20 kg sandbag, 6 kg wall ball. Women's Open: 102 kg sled push, 78 kg sled pull, 2 x 16 kg farmers carry, 10 kg sandbag, 4 kg wall ball. Sled weights include the sled. Pro is heavier. We coach you to the exact weights for your division.
No. It's one of the reasons the sport has grown so fast. The majority of participants are everyday athletes who want a measurable goal. Average Open finish times are around 90–105 minutes. It's designed to be completable, not just winnable.
HYROX runs events in Vancouver, Toronto, and other major cities. The race calendar changes each season. Check the official HYROX website for current dates. Ed and Justin compete regularly and can advise on which races to target.
Time trial at the kickoff, eight weeks of training, then HYROX Vancouver. Train with people chasing the same race.
