This means you can support each other and split up the workouts as you choose, based on your individual strengths.

This also adds a unique tactical element to each workout if you chose to tackle it this way. Are you great at wall balls but suck on the sled pull? Get tactical and divide up the workload between your team to ensure the best time possible.

Additionally, it means that you can balance the fitness levels of all your team members accordingly.

HYROX is indeed designed for every body. Whatever size you are, age or fitness level, HYROX will allow you to compete and enjoy yourself.
