Everything a PT does, minus the hourly rate.

A programme written for you

Your level, your equipment, your available days. The quiz takes three minutes and your first week appears before you decide anything.

It adapts every single week

Log your sessions and the plan recalibrates each Sunday. Strong week, next week pushes harder. Missed sessions, next week rebuilds with more recovery.

Ben Sutherland competes in the HYROX Elite 15 and coaches athletes from their first session to professional level. Your questions get answered in the app.

[ Private coaching ]

The version where Ben gets on a plane.

Everything else on this site is online coaching, and online is the right answer for almost everyone — it is why the programme adapts weekly instead of costing you an hourly rate. For a small number of clients in Dubai, there is another version: Ben flies out from the UK and coaches you in person.

Coached in the room

A sled push you can feel being corrected is worth more than a dozen form videos. The stations that punish technique — sled, wall balls, burpee broad jumps — are the ones worth fixing with somebody stood next to you.

By an Elite 15 athlete

Ben races in the HYROX Elite 15 Doubles. The person writing your programme is the person you train beside, which is not how most coaching at this level works.

It continues after he leaves

In-person sits on top of the programme rather than replacing it, so the work carries on in the app the week after — dated to your race and rebuilt every Sunday, the same as everyone else's.

Private coaching is arranged around one athlete at a time, so dates, length of stay and what a visit covers are agreed individually rather than sold as a package.

Tell Ben what you are training for and where you are in United Arab Emirates, and he will tell you honestly whether flying out is the right call for you — or whether the online programme gets you there without it.

[ Gyms in Dubai ]

Where you can train in Dubai.

Dubai has plenty of choice, which means you can be picky. The thing to look for is not a Hyrox sticker on the door, it is a sled lane long enough to push on, a spare wall for wall balls, and a rower nobody queues for at 6pm.

[ Training in Dubai ]

What training in Dubai actually involves.

Where to train in Dubai

24 gyms and sports centres sit within a few miles of the centre of Dubai. That is enough to choose on what the floor actually holds rather than on which is nearest.

Closest to the centre you have مضمار جبل علي, Veo and Hatha Vidya Yoga Centre, the nearest of them about 1 km out. Ring before you join and ask two questions: is there floor space to push a sled, and can you throw a ball at a wall. Those answers decide more than any membership tier.

مضمار جبل علي and Topgolf are listed as sports centres rather than gyms. Multi-use sites are usually where the floor space is, which tends to be where the sled and carry work ends up happening.

Where to run around Dubai

There is no parkrun close to Dubai, 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.

A Hyrox is eight kilometre runs with a station between each, which means the skill being tested is running on tired legs, not running fresh. Do at least one session a week where the running comes after the hard work rather than before it.
