Question 1

Is there a HYROX race in Maine?

Accepted Answer

Not on the current calendar. The nearest is Boston, about 159 km from Portland in a straight line — far enough to be a trip rather than a drive, which is worth knowing when you pick a race to build towards. HYROX adds cities regularly, so this changes.

Question 2

Where can I train for HYROX in Maine?

Accepted Answer

Anywhere with a rower, a sled lane and a wall. We have 35 named gyms and sports centres across Portland, Lewiston and Bangor in the database, and the quiz asks what you can actually get to before it writes anything. A HYROX-affiliated gym is a nice-to-have, not a requirement — most of the eight stations have a substitute that trains the same quality.

Question 3

Does online coaching work if I am in Maine and Ben is in the UK?

Accepted Answer

Yes, and the time difference matters less than people expect. The programme is written to your calendar, not to a session slot, so nothing depends on both of us being awake at once. You log what you did, Sunday's rebuild responds to it, and questions get answered in the app. What you are buying is the programming and the adjustment, which is the part a local trainer charging by the hour cannot give you between sessions.

Question 4

What does it cost compared with a personal trainer in Maine?

Accepted Answer

In-person training in the US is charged by the hour and booked session by session, so the cost tracks how often you train and stops the moment you stop. This is a programme rather than a slot: it covers every session in the week, it adapts, and it does not double when you decide to train twice as often. Pricing is tailored and starts with a free consultation with Ben.
