Orangetheory Fitness Partners with HYROX

In an exciting development in the fitness community, Orangetheory Fitness (OTF), a prominent group fitness brand known for its technology-driven workouts, has become an official affiliate partner of HYROX. This partnership aims to offer structured, race-inspired training programs at select Orangetheory studios across North America. Beginning December 1, members will have access to the new OTF x HYROX affiliate program, designed specifically for those keen on participating in HYROX events or enhancing their overall fitness regimen.

The collaboration combines the effective approach of Orangetheory’s high-intensity workouts with the unique format of HYROX races, which consist of a multi-station circuit challenging participants with both strength and endurance. As part of this initiative, Orangetheory will launch custom-built classes to help members train specifically for HYROX’s rigorous format, which includes eight functional workout stations interspersed with runs of one kilometer each.

Scott Brown, Vice President of Fitness at Orangetheory, highlighted the synergy between the two organizations: “HYROX tests what happens when strength meets stamina, and that's where Orangetheory shines. Many people don’t realize that HYROX is predominantly an 8K race of compromised running, not just a test of strength and power.” He went on to explain that the connected treadmill and rower intervals provided by Orangetheory are ideal for training for the HYROX format, and the addition of specialty classes will cater to the needs of HYROX-minded members and coaches.

This partnership reflects a larger trend in the fitness industry where structured training programs with attainable goals are becoming increasingly popular. As more fitness enthusiasts seek out challenging workouts that emphasize both progress and community, the OTF x HYROX collaboration aligns perfectly with this demand, offering participants purpose and a motivational impetus.

David Magida, Global Head of Training for HYROX, noted the expansion this partnership brings: “At HYROX365, we believe training shouldn’t be limited by location or schedule; it should be accessible anywhere, anytime, 365 days a year. We’re thrilled to affiliate with select Orangetheory studios, providing members the opportunity for focused training that aligns with their lifestyles and gives them the confidence to take on their first race.”

In this cooperative effort, the participating studios will qualify as official HYROX Training Clubs. These clinics will not only offer specialized classes designed to help athletes build the necessary endurance and strength but will also provide members early access to race registrations throughout North America, facilitating their journey into the world of competitive fitness.

This collaboration reinforces Orangetheory's commitment to empowering individuals toward healthier, more active lives through measurable and purposeful progress. Furthermore, it introduces HYROX's community of seasoned athletes to a supportive training environment, where the blend of endurance, strength, and power can be honed effectively.

Open to all fitness levels, this program is perfect for anyone seeking a more structured and goal-driven approach to their workout routine within a coach-supported setting.
