Welcome to HYROX at DKIT Sport

6 May 2025

HYROX has arrived at DKIT Sport, so we’re here to give you the low down on what it is and why you might want to consider taking part.

Why HYROX training?

If you’re looking for a fitness class that pushes your limits and delivers real results, now is the perfect time to start training for HYROX. This rapidly growing global event combines running with functional exercises like sled pushes, rowing, and burpees, creating a full-body workout that tests both your strength and endurance.

Who Is HYROX Training For?

HYROX isn’t just for elite athletes or CrossFit pros—it’s for anyone who’s ready to level up their fitness and take on a challenge that combines strength, endurance, and grit. Whether you’re new to functional training or already in the game, HYROX meets you where you are and pushes you forward.

For the Everyday Person

You don’t have to be a pro to start training for HYROX. If you’ve ever run a 5K, lifted weights, or even just love a solid gym session, you’ve already got the foundation. HYROX is all about consistency and progression, not perfection.

For Runners Wanting More

If you’re a runner who craves variety or feels stuck in a cardio rut, HYROX training adds resistance, functional movements, and a fresh sense of purpose to your miles.

For Gym Goers Who Need a Goal

You’ve been lifting, squatting, maybe even doing some cardio—but without a concrete goal, motivation can slip. Training for HYROX gives your workouts structure, purpose, and something big to aim for.

For Friends & Teammates

HYROX has doubles and relay categories, which means you can take on the workout with a buddy or even as a team.

For the Competitive Spirit

If you love tracking progress, measuring performance, and chasing personal bests, HYROX offers a global standardized race format—so you can compare your results worldwide.

Meet Your HYROX Coach: Chris McGlynn

Hey everyone, I’m Chris McGlynn – Head Coach of HYROX at DKIT Sport – and I’m buzzing to bring my experience, energy, and passion for functional fitness to this exciting new chapter.

I’ve been in the fitness industry for 7 years now, and in that time, I’ve had the privilege of working with thousands of people. I started out coaching clients one-on-one, helping them hit personal goals and build confidence. Over time, I moved into small group training, where I discovered the power of community and shared accountability – something that really stuck with me.

In more recent years, I’ve immersed myself in the worlds of CrossFit and HYROX. I’ve always had a passion for performance-based training – pushing limits, building resilience, and showing people just how capable they really are. Whether it’s lifting heavier, moving faster, or simply feeling better day-to-day, I love how this style of training can completely transform someone’s life.

I’ve previously owned and managed gyms, and that experience taught me how to build not just great training programs, but strong, supportive fitness communities. Now, I’m bringing that same mindset and energy to HYROX at DKIT Sport.

Whether your brand new to functional training or looking to take your performance to the next level, I’m here to help you get there. Let’s train hard and have fun.

See you on the floor,

Chris.
