Train for
the race.
Build the athlete.
Eight one-kilometre runs. Eight functional stations. AlphaFit’s two-track training system helps you hold pace, move loads and stay composed when the race gets hard.
The race, decoded
The format is simple.
The test isn’t.
HYROX has a rhythm: run, work, recover just enough, then go again. The challenge isn’t understanding the format. It’s maintaining your pace and movement quality as fatigue builds.
AlphaFit trains the qualities that make that possible, so you can reach the start line with a plan and finish knowing you executed it.
See how we trainWhat race day really asks of you
Built in training. Proven under pressure.Own your pace.
Settle into a sustainable race rhythm, control the early effort and save enough to finish with intent.
Move well. Waste less.
Sharper technique and cleaner transitions cut wasted movement, lost time and unnecessary fatigue.
Stay composed under pressure.
Keep producing quality work when your breathing is high, your legs are heavy and the race gets hard.
Purpose-built preparation
Two systems.
One athlete.
Engine develops the capacity to keep going. Build develops the force to keep performing. Together, they prepare you for the full demand of race day.
Engine
Build your engine. Improve your endurance.
A focused mix of running, erg work, intervals, conditioning and HYROX-specific movement. Improve your aerobic capacity, control your pace and make race speed feel more manageable.
Build
Get stronger. Move better. Perform harder.
Strength training, functional movement and race-specific exercises build the power and resilience to repeatedly produce force under fatigue, from sled work and lunges to carries and wall balls.
SIM HYROX events
Test the plan.
Before race day.
Training the parts is one thing. Putting them together under pressure is another. Our SIM events recreate the rhythm and fatigue of race day, giving you the experience to make better decisions when it counts.
Pace under pressure
Learn what sustainable effort actually feels like.
Clean transitions
Move between efforts without wasting time or energy.
Race strategy
Test your breaks, movement standards and station plan.
Real confidence
Know how your body responds when fatigue starts to build.
Train hard. Test yourself. Learn from it. Come back better.
The official race sequence
Know the work.
Train the demand.
Every station changes the problem. Some test aerobic control, while others demand force, grip or movement quality under fatigue.
Knowing what each station asks of you makes training more specific and race-day decisions more deliberate.
SkiErg
Settle early. Long, controlled pulls help keep your effort in check.
Sled push
Stay low, keep your steps short and maintain pressure through the sled.
Sled pull
Use a consistent hand-over-hand rhythm and keep the rope organised.
Burpee broad jumps
Make each landing stable and choose a jump length you can repeat.
Rowing
Smooth, connected strokes beat frantic ones when fatigue is high.
Farmers carry
Stand tall, take quick controlled steps and minimise unnecessary sway.
Sandbag lunges
Keep the bag settled and make every step consistent.
Wall balls
Protect your rhythm and make every repetition count.
Build the capacity. Practise the skill. Test it under fatigue.
What Our Clients Say
Real stories. Real transformations. Real results.
I have been training at Alpha Fit for over 5 years, and it's hands down the best gym I've ever been part of. The environment is friendly, and the trainers are incredibly supportive.
Tiffany Morris
MemberSince I found Alphafit I’ve been so much more motivated to work out. The atmosphere in the gym is electric and really inspires you to push yourself in your workout, much more than what you’d do on your own in the gym.

Local GuideAlpha fit has completely changed my gym experience I’ve gone from plateaus in my training to massively increasing my lifting capability. This is due to the wide variety of exercises and technical teaching from the coaches.
