I loved the concept. I have watched several crossfit competitions before and, while I was impressed by the strength of the athletes, I was more impressed by how slow they were running. I think this is something new that just invites people who are not as strong, or as fast, to do it and try it. I used to be a triathlete, so I feel I can do a race without the need to "pump up my muscles" to complete the course. I don't think one is better than the other, just that one is better suited to the needs of different types of athletes. Even beginners who love the gym life.
Totally agree! I'm a high level triathlete in terms of race sprints almost every weekend and sometimes 2 Back to back Sat n Sundays. Also MMA over a decade. I'm a whee Ladd 155lbs but about to do my 1st Hyrox in Dallas this weekend. Only trained for 2 weeks but that's because Tri season just ended weekend before last. I've been simulating the event via training about 3 times.... Lol I know it's not optimal nor ideal but I was just invited to do this upon leaving Tri Best of Best Championships 2 weeks ago. Had no idea what this was until then. I will try and update how it goes. Personally I'm pushing for podium AG. But we shall see. Let's Goooo!!!
@@JoshTheSonOfBethIsaacs Hi! We'd like to get in touch with you for a possible quick interview 💪🏼. Can you send us a message to @hyroxamerica on instagram? :) Cheers!
@@HYROX_OFFICIAL That would be awesome! I ended up signing up for the GORUCK division due to sellout. So this is gonna be quite interesting. Totally love a challenge!!! See yall Saturday!!! LET'S GOOOO!!! IG msg sent FYI
Damn, this is really totally new and innovative! Combining weight and endurance exercises, using concept and rogue equipment! You are literally crossing diverse sports and fitness styles and molding them into one. This is ingenious! How could we call it? Maybe CrossFit? 🖕
The main difference I see is that crossfit is incredibly skewed towards strength. Most pro crossfitters are very high level weightlifters and about middle school level endurance atheletes.
A huge difference is that hyrox is standardized to have the same race everytime, which makes it more similar to traditional sports and could potentially give it a Olympic Games spot at some time. Crossfit will never be at the Olympic Games if it doesnt change to have more standard workouts per competition.
I like how it’s basically a more accessible version of CrossFit, in my experience CrossFit was always elitist and judged if you didn’t pick up the technical side really quickly still a fan of CrossFit but also glad there’s something that is still about all round fitness without being so technical
I think CrossFit is just too scattty. I used to love it. But it’s just too all over the place with workouts and what not. Whereas hyrox is like any other sport in that it doesn’t change. A lot easier for people to track their improvement s
I see people saying this is just a CrossFit rip-off, but I don't agree. There's quite a different emphasis here I think, and anyway so what if it were? It's like complaining that butterfly is just a rip-off of breaststroke, or mountainbiking is something road cyclists did first. It favours a different kind of athlete perhaps, and that's great.
@@KM-ez7pkya CrossFit is just basically a way for people to destroy their bodies. I used to love CrossFit but I want to be able to walk when I’m 60 and not need new knees and hips.
I was the 67 year old. Beware however The WC event was more challenging as It was at the Pro level. Same routine but some of the weights are considerably heavier. I had won my age group earlier in the year at the open level. It was rewarding just to finish.
I wonder if Hyrox is planning to change this in the future and allow elite athletes to compete at the Pro level and allow Age Group athletes to compete at the level they otherwise normally compete?
@@beckjacob i inquired and they stated probably not. Logistically it is obviously more work. I was remiss not to mention the timing system is very cool and allows you to concentrate on racing as it lets you know when to enter the Hyrox zones. I also asked where the WC would be held this year but they did not provide. It would be nice to know if it will be outside the US so people who qualify know if they plan to compete they will to get a passport. If you like these hybrid events I have also competed in Dekafit. Hyrox is much more challenging but significantly more expensive.
It's funny cause hyrox looks like Wednesday in my affiliate. It's cool though if you don't want to lift weights and love to run hyrox seems perfect but it's not a new sport.its cardio crossfit
To the new fitness racing enthusiast, this might seem innovative. Sadly, it’s just a PR stunt. Hunter didn’t make the second cut at the games, on a free pass so didn’t even actually qualify. There is no comparison to the CrossFit Games (multi-day and broad disciplines tested) and Hyrox. It’s just a Metcon workout.
Agreed 🤙🏽 I can see CrossFit trolling one day and run Hyrox exactly as it is in a CF comp 😅 Hyrox is great as I will always root for humans to move and challenge their body but Hyrox doesn’t come close to testing the full capabilities of a CF comp or what the human is capable of. Hyrax just has a lower barrier of entry
Tbf he may not have made the cut but if i’m not mistaken he still holds the record for murph which is similar in comparison to hyrox. He’s just probably not as well built out for games then others.
@@sethwood1676 he entered the Games one time, did not meet the standars though and got a free pass. Unfortunately he did not make it to the next level and had to quite that year after one day of competing, if the first event were more running based hé surely would have make it to day two. After that one games appearance he never entered again I think.
It's like powerlifting vs Olympic lifting, close, but not exactly the same. Stems on your belief of X-fit. If this removes strange things to make it easier or... not useful, such as: No kipping dips/pull-ups/hand stand walking/jump... rope double cross under things?!. I'm all for it. Also I'm all for being more endurance based (great data showing endurance athletes have a longer lifespan as resting heart rate is less, so overtime your heart gets used less). I'm pro David Goggins, and Iron Wolf for these reasons. Id rather be them than x-fit.
Was interested in this, then he said the phrases "i invented this" and "there's nothing else like it" and i couldn't keep going without saying..... come on, you have to acknowledge crossfit a both the originator and the most common version of "fitness racing".
I came into the comments to find this one. "The sport of fitness"? Who could have imagined? A CrossFit brand competitor is not a bad thing. I'm down with that and would be an audience for something like HYROX. But yah, they lost me on those statements. I'm out.
Crossfit is more of a powerlifting competition with muscular endurance elements, and a sprinkle of aerobic fitness. Hyrox is more a of a endurance based event with a sprinkle of strength and a lot of muscular endurance.
@@erik3475 Yes and to say "I invented this", "there's nothing else like it" is wildly overstating the case, deluded and does not acknowledge the obvious start of where this derives from which is so obviously CrossFit its almost embarrassing for them to float over that talking point.
Any fitness program like this is great for people, but CrossFit has been doing this for quite a few years before this came to be. It’s basically a watered down version of CrossFit. Hyrox is good for you, but they didn’t invent this kind of sport. They might want to acknowledge that rather than saying they invented it.
@@factsnchill168 all new to me but am running 1 long run, a day of 1km repeats x6-8, recovery jog and 2 days weights with some of the functional exercises thrown in
Would be cool if they changed stations out every season? For exanple: the lunge would be replaced by squat cleans pr Back squats one season - next season assult bike instead of rower
The people on here act like CrossFit doesn’t exist and they are the first to do something like this lol. Also their key American in the video got cut in early rounds at CrossFit games. The more fitness the better just saying.
Hunter, big fan, but saying these Hyrox cats are the most well rounded "fitness athletes" is misleading. They wouldn't last a minute at the CrossFit Games.
Crossfit is not very balanced, a mediocre powerlifter would totally destroy the worlds best marathon runner at the crossfit games. Even though running is the most fundamental skill of a human being. A well rounded fitness competition should weigh a lot more on the endurance side then strength, if it is based on human beings.
Truthfully this is CrossFit without the gimmicks. Don’t get me wrong, I love CrossFit but it’s sometimes feels like a circus with some of the ridiculous events they have that tests nothing and they don’t hit running as much which is part of the fitness family haha. But yes to me, HYROX is the true definition on testing your fitness level from all aspects of fitness. The only suggestion I would have is to add a little more weightlifting then I could see it getting close to where CrossFit is at.
Agree 100%. CF continues to marginalize itself with weirdo handstand walking events. Maybe CF hates money? Gimmicks are holding CF back from becoming accepted by a mainstream audience, and Hyrox removes that crap.
@@trevorjohnsondesign3530 If you're talking to me, then yes I do watch the CrossFit Games and pretty much all the events prior to the games and have been doing so for many years. So, to say that they have running in the games every year, somewhat tells me maybe you have not been watching over a long period of time. I would say they have incorporated running a little more as in actually testing their running ability. If you watch the games, why are the athletes always gassed when they did have the 2-3 mile run? I'll tell you because they not use to it and don't train it that much because they know it's not heavily tested and see it as an event they most would take off a little but instead they train muscle ups and walking handstands and etc. All I am saying is that Hyrox actually has functional and tests true fitness capability versus CrossFit is all about entertainment and circus like movements
I do Crossfit and whilst I agree the games are having more and more clown like movements. There is always a running event. The whole point though is that they you don’t know what event you’ll get so you have to work everything.
Hyrox is for people with the highest level of fitness. CrossFit is for people who can do hand stands. Hyrox is for life, CrossFit is for about 10 years if your lucky then then your body is broken 😂
I had to turn this off. I don’t do CrossFit but I know it exists and shares the same principles. I also know that Hunter chap competed in it. So I just couldn’t stomach this video and those involved claiming to have something new and innovative over and over.
A group of friends came up with a hilarious idea for a pretend sport and started this as a joke but people are actually basic as fuck and like it 😅 whoops
@@lean2281 What a sassy question. Damn are you funny. No not only about ME, but maybe also about the good upcoming and ascending athletes who are not in the elite. Only the Elite was able to win high money prices.
As stated by an US American. He would not technically be a liar if he could do 200 in a row - with a 1kg ball thrown up to a 2m high goal. The most outstanding thing about US citizens is their confidence and self-marketing. Still all respect to Hunter, he just is a beast.
Ooh my God, Hunter claims that hyrox athletes would beat crossfitters.... then why aren't they going after the money that's in crossfit? All they have to do is join the open. This dude is totally deluded. I wonder if he'd get through regionals?
He didn’t qualify for the games, but do not sleep on Hyrox. It appeals to the masses with no “high skill, low meaning” events like handstand walking. Handstand walking means absolutely nothing when it comes to being fit. Hyrox could actually take over as the “sport of everyone” since everyone can do it.
Hunter m got a free ticket to the CrossFit games a couple years back and didn’t make it past day 1. And he’s super fit. Elite CrossFit athletes are on another level
How can you say you invented a new sport when its basically cross fit? And cross fit was not a new sport iver its circuit training and strong man. It just a new cpmpany trying to sell a product. Don't try to compare with , are people will beat cross fits ect you do your thing. Their is space for both I see this as older people finding sport and/or having the time later in life and cross-fiters starts younger and is more professional. Both are great just diffent.
The guy owns a print shop in a small village, the woman doesn't work ... they ride a nearly new mercedes ... where's the catch? About impossible in Belgium.
I kinda compare this like the UFC and Bellator. Theres CrossFit and HYDROX. They are great athletes just not the caliber of CrossFitters. But why does Hunter McIntrye looking like Justin Medeiros? Both have the mullet hairstyle.
Yeah, no. I'm going for my first Hyrox in Basel (Otillo Swimrun, Ironman70.3 background, and Crossfit enthousiast). Hunter is such a bad image for sport: being arrogant af, promoting his lifestyle without any lessons or something anyone could learn from or be inspired from. At least on my side, seeing the Hyrox brand pushing his face and story as an example is cold shower, nothing more. Sport is way more than being better than others... That's honestly just sad to listen to.
@@quentingallea166 I would rather hear real talk from Hunter than the same old crap from Tia and others in CF. “It was hard, but I sent it” etc. It’s just not entertaining to listen to them talk. Robot interviews. I love hearing badass folks talk for real, like Hunter. Also, handstand events have nothing to do with fitness.
Stop calling it a sport, not to mention a new sport. It's a race format, that's all. You created a race. This cocky gringo is not world champion either, he just wins a race. I can create a new race and call myself a champ in my backyard too
"Its the only existing mass participation fitness event." Does this owner really think people that watch this sort of thing dont know abouy crossfit, whose first event us literally called "the open". How deluded is this guy. This video just gets worse amd worse. Cool event but lets be realistic here.
So this is CrossFit pretty much… this is NOT a new sport… this is just a different way to organize a CrossFit event. No disrespect to the “athletes” but…. 😅
Man this is worste than an unafilated CrossfitBox . What a cheap way of copying something. Germans should not copy that is sure go and invent something real new and bring Up a new brand in Sport. You guys try Crossfit in a very blown way and call it hyrox….
After watching just a couple of minutes and that first time bragging about he is better than everyone else I stopped watching the video, that crap attitude tells me everything about this new sport
I loved the concept.

Hunter m got a free ticket to the CrossFit games a couple years back and didn’t make it past day 1. And he’s super fit. Elite CrossFit athletes are on another level
lol Hyrox is awesome but Rugby players are the most well-rounded athletes. They would dominate this sport!
How can you say you invented a new sport when its basically cross fit? And cross fit was not a new sport iver its circuit training and strong man. It just a new cpmpany trying to sell a product. Don't try to compare with , are people will beat cross fits ect you do your thing. Their is space for both I see this as older people finding sport and/or having the time later in life and cross-fiters starts younger and is more professional. Both are great just diffent.
I watched and still don't get it.
This felt like watching a documentary about the XFL, except only if the XFL was claiming to be unique and having invented the sport of football.
I’m coming for you.
Know I train every day.
I use more weight than the required
I’m big
I’m coming
You will know my name
Hunter McIntyre couldn’t hack it in CrossFit so he had to jump on something so he could be at “the top”
Wow, he looks healthier than Greg Glassman!
The guy owns a print shop in a small village, the woman doesn't work ... they ride a nearly new mercedes ...
where's the catch?
About impossible in Belgium.
I kinda compare this like the UFC and Bellator. Theres CrossFit and HYDROX. They are great athletes just not the caliber of CrossFitters. But why does Hunter McIntrye looking like Justin Medeiros? Both have the mullet hairstyle.
They already market themselves better than crossfit.
The Justin Medeiros lookalike makes me not want to take this video seriously at all. 😂😂😂 this has to be a parody.
Hunter vs Fraser I wonder who would win
So original. Ever heard of CrossFit?
German CrossFit?
Wants to be the best athlete in the world but also wants to drink beer and punch people; the perfect role model
Yeah, no. I'm going for my first Hyrox in Basel (Otillo Swimrun, Ironman70.3 background, and Crossfit enthousiast). Hunter is such a bad image for sport: being arrogant af, promoting his lifestyle without any lessons or something anyone could learn from or be inspired from. At least on my side, seeing the Hyrox brand pushing his face and story as an example is cold shower, nothing more. Sport is way more than being better than others... That's honestly just sad to listen to.
Couldn't disagree more
@@erica9563 i m genuinely curious. Would like to share your thoughts ? I mean bragging about getting into fistfights.. how is this not toxic?
Ehhhh he’s a likable douche though. Think he’s more real than 99% of the juice heads in crossfit.
@@quentingallea166 I would rather hear real talk from Hunter than the same old crap from Tia and others in CF. “It was hard, but I sent it” etc. It’s just not entertaining to listen to them talk. Robot interviews. I love hearing badass folks talk for real, like Hunter. Also, handstand events have nothing to do with fitness.
@@jrparker4804 I see, interesting. Thank you for taking the time to share.
Was ist der Unterschied zu Crossfit ?
Doesn't answer emails to his fitness programme for cancellations!!
Seems like CrossFit, even copied the CrossFit champs hair cut😂😂😂
Bandwagon……jumping…..
Stop calling it a sport, not to mention a new sport. It's a race format, that's all. You created a race. This cocky gringo is not world champion either, he just wins a race. I can create a new race and call myself a champ in my backyard too
Seems like Crossfit - but they look a little bit skinny, esp. The Girls
10:20
😅
CrossFit???
It's laughable to even mention Hyrox athletes in the same sentence as Crossfit games athletes.
Soooooooo...... Crossfit only with worse athletes ....
"Its the only existing mass participation fitness event." Does this owner really think people that watch this sort of thing dont know abouy crossfit, whose first event us literally called "the open". How deluded is this guy. This video just gets worse amd worse. Cool event but lets be realistic here.
If you wait till the end, they tell you is an Onion News Network video. 😂😂😂 This guy reinvented crossfit but changed nothing ??!!
So this is CrossFit pretty much… this is NOT a new sport… this is just a different way to organize a CrossFit event.
No disrespect to the “athletes” but…. 😅
So its just a copy of crossfit
Man this is worste than an unafilated CrossfitBox . What a cheap way of copying something. Germans should not copy that is sure go and invent something real new and bring Up a new brand in Sport. You guys try Crossfit in a very blown way and call it hyrox….
After watching just a couple of minutes and that first time bragging about he is better than everyone else I stopped watching the video, that crap attitude tells me everything about this new sport
New sport !! lol it's not even close to a new sport, it's just another crossfit games with another brand name
I think this is a spoof.
"birth place of a new sport"...
give me a break...its crossfit, just different routine.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Soooo this is pretty much CrossFit… a different way of “organizing a CrossFit event”… not a “different sport”
No CF handstand events = awesome
This should be getting you fired uuuhhhppp!
