A Daytona Beach gym just became one of a select group of fitness facilities in the country to earn official HYROX Training Club status. And that means something big is coming to Daytona Beach this fall.
Modern Human CrossFit is now an official HYROX Training Club, and conveniently located 1 mile from Daytona International Speedway and 3 miles from LPGA Blvd.
If you’re searching for gyms in Daytona Beach that offer more than just a place to lift weights, keep reading.
What Is HYROX?
HYROX is one of the fastest growing fitness movements in the world and for good reason.
It is a global fitness race that combines running and functional workout stations into one of the most well-rounded fitness challenges available to everyday athletes.
Every competitor completes 8 rounds of a 1 kilometer run followed by a functional exercise station including sled pushes, rowing, burpee broad jumps, wall balls, and more.
What makes HYROX different from other fitness competitions is that it is designed for every fitness level, every age, and every background.
You do not need to be an elite athlete to compete or to train for it.
This year more people competed in HYROX than ran marathons, making it one of the most participated in fitness events on the planet.
The sport is growing fast, and it is growing here in Daytona Beach.
Modern Human CrossFit Is Now an Official HYROX Training Club
The interest in HYROX inside our gym has been building for a while.
Members have completed HYROX races on their own.
A whole group of us showed up to a HYROX event together and had an absolute blast.
Others cheered from the sidelines.
More have already signed up for future races.
The momentum was real, so we made it official.
As an official HYROX Training Club, Modern Human CrossFit can now offer certified HYROX training right here in Daytona Beach, provide members with early access to tickets for official HYROX races, and host our own local HYROX events.
How We Train for HYROX at Modern Human CrossFit
One of the reasons we were drawn to HYROX is how naturally it aligns with the way we already train.
At Modern Human CrossFit our program is built around three things that work together to prepare you for HYROX and for life.
CrossFit Classes
Our CrossFit classes are the best way to build the strength and conditioning to take on any challenge, especially HYROX.
Every class combines strength training, bodyweight movements, and cardio exercises like running, rowing, biking, and jump rope into a well-rounded workout that develops real fitness.
This is the foundation of everything we do.
The Saturday HYROX-Focused CrossFit Class
Every Saturday at Modern Human CrossFit is now a dedicated HYROX-focused CrossFit partner workout.
Our Saturday class has always been a little different: longer workouts, partner format, conditioning focus, lower skill movements paired with runs and cardio.
Now we are giving it a clear direction.
Every Saturday is built around cardio, bodyweight movements, and stamina-based exercises designed to simulate the demands of a HYROX race and build your endurance over time.
Whether you are training for a race or just want the best workout of your week, Saturday is the place to be.
Hybrid Training
What you do outside of class matters too.
Our hybrid training program gives you running and bodyweight workouts you can do on your own time with little to no equipment.
Every hybrid workout includes a warm up, mobility work, and three versions of the workout: bodyweight, dumbbell, and a run version of the class workout of the day.
It plays two roles inside our program.
First, it is a great alternative when life gets busy and you cannot make it to class.
Second, it is the perfect way to get one or two dedicated running days in each week outside of class.
For HYROX prep specifically, that running work between classes is going to make a real difference.
Who Is HYROX For?
This is the question we hear most often, and the answer is simple.
HYROX is for everyone.
It’s for the person who has never competed in anything and wants a goal to train toward.
Or the person who has been showing up to class consistently and wants to see what they are actually capable of.
It is for the person who tried solo fitness: home workouts, running on their own, big box gyms, and realized that access without coaching, community, and accountability does not work.
HYROX gives you something to train for.
And training for something changes everything.
You do not have to race to benefit from HYROX training either.
The fitness you build training for HYROX carries over into every area of your life.
More stamina, more strength, more endurance: whether that shows up on a race course or just in how you show up for your family every day.
That is what Modern Human CrossFit has always been about: helping people in Daytona Beach feel better, look better, and perform better.
Not gymnasts, not elite athletes, not people chasing a six pack.
People who want to be capable, healthy, and part of something bigger than a solo workout.
The Biggest Mistake People Make When They Start Training for HYROX
When people get excited about HYROX, the first thing they do is lace up and start running.
We see the same thing happen with people who get excited about running in general.
And the result is almost always the same.
Too much running too fast leads to shin splints, tendinitis, and injuries that sideline you before you ever make it to the start line.
If you are only running with no strength training to support it, you are setting yourself up for the same outcome.
HYROX requires both.
You need the cardio capacity to keep moving and the strength to power through eight functional workout stations while fatigued.
That is exactly how we built our fitness program at Modern Human CrossFit.
Our CrossFit classes develop your cardio capacity and your strength at the same time, which keeps you healthy, keeps you consistent, and keeps you in the game.
The best HYROX prep is smart, well-rounded training.
That is what we do here.
