What is HYROX – and why do you need special HYROX clothing?

HYROX consists of 8 x 1 km runs, interrupted by 8 workout stations, including:

• SkiErg

• Sled Push & Pull

• Burpee Broad Jumps

• sweat-resistant

• extensible

• non-slip

• tear- and abrasion-resistant

• quick-drying

• stable fit

be.
