A personal trainer in Kansas,
without the hourly rate.
There are 58 named gyms and sports centres across Wichita, Overland Park and Kansas City, YMCA and Planet Fitness among them, and the programme is written around whichever one you use. There is no HYROX in Kansas yet. The nearest is Dallas, roughly 549 km from Wichita in a straight line, and the programme is dated backwards from whichever race you enter. Online personal training from HYROX Elite 15 athlete Ben Sutherland, rebuilt every Sunday from what you logged.

Dallas
18 November 2026 · 549 km from Wichita
Straight-line distance, so the drive is longer. Far enough that a race is a weekend rather than a morning, which changes the taper more than it changes the training — you want to arrive with a day in hand rather than racing off a flight.

[ Training around a Kansas week ]
Commutes across Kansas are long enough that the training which survives is the training that fits the day you actually have. A programme that assumes ninety free minutes gets abandoned in week three; one that knows you have forty on a Tuesday does not.
That is the part an hourly trainer cannot do. They can write you a good session; they cannot rewrite the week when work moves, and rewriting the week is most of what keeps people training past the point where motivation runs out.
