How do I start Hyrox training in Saldanha?

Take the three-minute quiz. It asks about your race date, experience, available days, and the equipment you can use in Saldanha. You see your full Week 1, dated and structured, before you decide anything.

Do I have to be racing to start?

No. Plenty of athletes start training before they enter anything, then pick a date later. Once you choose a race the programme rebuilds backwards from that date; until then it works towards general readiness.

Do I need a Hyrox gym to follow the programme?

No. The quiz asks what you train with, a full Hyrox gym, a standard commercial gym, or a home setup, and your plan only includes work you can actually do. Substitutions are built in for every station.

I've never done Hyrox. Is this for beginners?

Yes. The First Race programme takes complete beginners to the finish line in 12 weeks. Ben coaches athletes from their first session to professional level, and the programming scales the same way.

How much does it cost?

Pricing is tailored to your goals and there is a cost-effective option for every budget. It starts with a free consultation with Ben, and you see your first week of training before you commit to anything.

Dated to your race, not week numbers

Your programme counts back from Johannesburg. Miss a week and Sunday's rebuild absorbs it — the plan bends, the race date doesn't.

What a Hyrox build looks like from Saldanha.

Where to train in Saldanha

Training options in Saldanha are thin on the ground, which matters far less than it sounds. Most of a Hyrox build is running, carrying and squatting, and almost all of it substitutes.

Where to run around Saldanha

There is no parkrun close to Saldanha, so you will need to measure your own loop. Pick something flat you can repeat, run it every three or four weeks under the same conditions, and treat that time as your benchmark.

Racing from Saldanha

Johannesburg Expo Centre is the nearest venue at roughly 1227 km, so racing means a weekend away. Enter early, book the room at the same time, and treat the travel as part of the plan rather than an afterthought.
