HYROX is the fitness race made for everyday people, and you can train for it right here in Corpus Christi. Body of Christ Faith & Fitness runs coach-led HYROX classes at 14242 Northwest Blvd, minutes from Calallen, Annaville and Northwest Corpus Christi. Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday. No experience required, every workout scales, and your first 7 days are free.

What is HYROX?

HYROX is a fitness race. Every HYROX event in the world is the exact same test: eight 1-kilometer runs, and after each run, one functional workout station. Eight runs, eight stations, one clock that never stops. Nothing is a surprise on race day, and nothing changes from city to city, which is what makes your finish time actually mean something. You can hold it up against your last race, against your training partner, against an athlete in Germany.

You can enter as an individual in the Open or Pro division, as a doubles team splitting the work with a partner, or as part of a relay. Most first-timers pick Open, and plenty of them start in doubles with a friend so nobody has to face it alone.

The eight stations, in order

• 1,000m SkiErg - upper body and lungs, straight out of the gate.
• 50m sled push - the one that humbles everybody. Legs, posture, patience.
• 50m sled pull - hand over hand, back and grip.
• 80m burpee broad jumps - the great equalizer. Pacing beats power here.
• 1,000m row - a chance to breathe, if you have trained for it.
• 200m farmers carry - grip, trunk and stubbornness.
• 100m sandbag lunges - legs already cooked, bag across your back.
• 100 wall balls - the last wall between you and the finish line.

And a full kilometer of running sits in front of every single one of them. That is the whole puzzle of HYROX: strong enough to move a heavy load, fit enough to keep running after you move it. Train only one side of that and the race will find you out.

Can a beginner do HYROX?

Yes. Most of the people crossing that finish line are not sponsored athletes. They are people with jobs and kids and a full calendar who decided to train for something. There is no qualifying time to enter, the weights in the Open division are set for regular humans, and every station has a scaled path.

What a beginner actually needs is a plan and a room full of people doing the same hard thing. That is the part we handle. Every class here is scaled to the person doing it - a lighter sled, a shorter carry, a step instead of a jump, a run pace that lets you finish standing up. You do not need to get in shape before you walk in. You get in shape by walking in.

How we train for HYROX at Body of Christ

Tuesday and Thursday are HYROX days at our gym - every class slot, 5:00 in the morning through the evening. Saturday morning adds another, and Sunday is a race simulation. Here is what that training is built on:

• Running that holds up. Eight kilometers is a lot of running for most people. We build it in intervals and repeats so the last kilometer does not fall apart.
• Strength that survives fatigue. Anybody can push a sled fresh. We train you to push it on tired legs, because that is the only way it ever happens in a race.
• The station movements themselves. Sled, carry, lunge, wall ball and erg patterns, drilled until the technique is automatic and you stop wasting energy on form.
• Compromised running. The hardest 100 meters of a HYROX race is the first 100 after a station. We practice that handoff on purpose.
• Race simulation. Sunday mornings at 8:00 we run a HYROX Simulation - race format, race pacing, so race day is not the first time you have felt it.

Underneath all of it sits the rest of the week. Strength and conditioning on Monday, Wednesday and Friday builds the engine, and functional bodybuilding at 6:30 Monday through Thursday builds the muscle and the joints that keep you healthy enough to keep training.

What your first class looks like

Come about ten minutes early. A coach will meet you at the door, ask what your training history looks like and what you are hoping to get out of this, and walk you through anything on the board you have not done before. Class starts the way every class here starts - a word and a prayer - then a warm-up as a group, then the work. Nobody gets left on their own with a barbell and a shrug.

Bring training shoes, water and a towel. Come as you are. Everybody in that room walked in for a first time too, and most of them remember exactly how it felt.

HYROX questions we get asked

Do I have to sign up for a race to train HYROX here?

No. A lot of our members train HYROX classes purely because it is one of the best all-around fitness workouts there is - running, strength, and conditioning in one hour. If a race ends up on your calendar later, you will already be ready for it.

What is the difference between HYROX and our other classes?

HYROX is one fixed race, the same eight runs and eight stations every time, so training for it is training for a known test. Strength and conditioning style training is deliberately varied - the workout changes daily and the goal is broad capacity rather than one event. They overlap a lot, and they make each other better. We run both.

How long is a class?

About an hour, coach-led start to finish.

I have never really run. Can I still do this?

Yes. Running is the most trainable part of the whole race, and it is the part that improves fastest when you do it consistently with people who will not let you quit on yourself.

Do I have to be a Christian to train here?

No. Come as you are - everyone is welcome. Faith is who we are and we are not quiet about it, but nobody has to believe anything to train with us. More questions answered here.

God first. Train hard. Transform everything.

That is not a slogan we put on a shirt. It is the order we do things in. Come find out what it feels like to train with people who are chasing the same thing you are.
