Ready to switch things up? Coming this December to Life Leisure Houldsworth Village, as part of the fantastic gym refurbishment, a dedicated HYROX training zone to inspire you to push harder and get race ready – or simply revamp your routine and challenge your body in new ways!
With the 2024/25 HYROX season underway—and a Manchester race coming up in January—there’s never been a better time to jump in.
What Is HYROX?
HYROX is a global fitness sensation combining functional fitness with endurance in a race-style workout, and it’s inspiring members everywhere to push their limits. For those who haven’t tried it yet, HYROX is a high-energy race that pairs endurance with functional strength, challenging participants through a sequence of eight exercises and eight 1km runs in between. It’s designed to push you in ways traditional workouts don’t, offering a total-body challenge that’s as engaging as it is effective.
Since we first introduced HYROX classes at Houldsworth Village back in 2023, members have taken to the challenge—and the results speak for themselves. A number of our members (and staff!) have not only embraced HYROX training but have also gone on to compete in HYROX races, catching the bug and pushing themselves to new personal bests. We fully support this enthusiasm, and to make your experience even better, we’re repurposing gym space to create a dedicated HYROX zone that meets all your training needs.
Getting in the zone
Our new dedicated HYROX training zone will be packed with everything you need for a complete HYROX workout experience. Along with the usual suspects such as sleds, kettlebells and wall balls, we’re also adding in brand-new Assault Runner treadmills and Concept2 Row-Ergs. This new dedicated space has been designed to help you tackle HYROX workouts efficiently and effectively.
Here’s how the new HYROX zone will elevate your workouts:
- Efficient training flow: With all HYROX equipment in one place, you’ll move seamlessly between exercises, maximising your workout time. This optimised flow helps you get more from each session, whether you’re prepping for race day or simply challenging yourself.
- Enhanced functional fitness: The dedicated zone is arranged to help you train with focus and purpose. Functional strength, which benefits real-world performance, is a core part of HYROX, and our space supports this every step of the way. The space is also available for you to use in your own workouts, outside of class times.
- Inspired community: HYROX has already built an energetic community at Houldsworth Village. The dedicated space will enhance this atmosphere, letting you train alongside others who share your goals and enthusiasm.
The benefits of HYROX training
HYROX isn’t just another workout—it’s a proven way to improve fitness and achieve measurable progress. By incorporating HYROX into your routine, you’ll build stamina and strength simultaneously, thanks to its unique cardio-strength mix that develops endurance and power in every session. The structured format makes it easy to set and track exciting, achievable goals, giving you a clear sense of accomplishment. Additionally, the functional nature of HYROX exercises ensures that the strength you build translates into real-world benefits, enhancing your daily activities beyond the gym.
With a HYROX race happening in Manchester this January, now’s the perfect time to get involved. Whether you’re gearing up for race day or just eager to try something new, our dedicated zone will have you prepared and motivated.
Follow us on Facebook and Instagram to stay updated on the launch of the new gym and HYROX zone, and stop by to see the transformation for yourself from Saturday 14th December. We’re excited to bring this next-level experience to Houldsworth Village and support you as you reach new heights in your journey.
