Beyond the ROX

HYROX athletes grind in the off-season to balance their personal lives with the ambition, endurance, recovery, and mental and physical strength required to compete with the Elite 15.

Sadiq Elfitouri shares the transition from football to HYROX, and OCR World Champion Ida Mathilde makes a spectacular debut, as the fast-growing sport draws athletes from all fields.

The pressure has peaked for Jake Dearden as he qualifies for the World Final, new competitors challenge the veterans, and the growth of the women’s field proves expert coaching can change the game.

The mix of joy and anxiety fueling athletes is mirrored by their loved ones, rivalries intensify and a wildcard competitor shakes things up, while Lucy Procter takes her spot in the Elite 15.
