London to Milan

Members and coaches travelled together to London to race a HYROX Relay: people of every fitness level challenging themselves and supporting one another on a national stage.

It didn't stop there. Members are now racing doubles, a Lycan competitive team is heading to Milan, and more members are racing Manchester in January.

The race

HYROX is the world's fastest growing fitness race. Eight 1km runs, each one followed by a workout station, in the same order at every event.

You don't need a race on the calendar to train here. Engine sessions and Lycan Shred build the running and conditioning, and the Full Body, Upper and Lower days build the strength for the sleds, carries and wall balls.

HYROX questions

What is HYROX?

HYROX is a fitness race: eight 1km runs, each followed by a workout station. SkiErg, sled push, sled pull, burpee broad jumps, rowing, farmers carry, sandbag lunges and wall balls. Lycan Strength is a HYROX affiliated gym, and our members race it in doubles and relays.

Do I need to enter a race to train here?

No. Most members never race. The same coached classes that build strength and fitness for everyday life also prepare the people who do want a race.

Which classes help with HYROX?

Engine (Mon 7pm, Wed 6pm, Fri 6am) and Lycan Shred on Friday night build the running and conditioning. Full Body, Upper and Lower days build the strength for the sleds, carries and wall balls.

Is it only for experienced athletes?

No. The London relay brought members of every fitness level together, and every class is scaled to the person in it.
