GymNation has partnered with HYROX, the global fitness racing series, to bring HYROX Performance and HYROX Training Centres to its facilities in the Middle East. The collaboration introduces a new training concept designed to mirror the conditions of an official HYROX race.
Founded in Germany in 2017, HYROX has grown into an international indoor fitness race that combines functional exercises with running in a standardized format. Events currently take place across multiple continents, including Europe, North America, the Middle East, and Asia.
The new GymNation HYROX Performance Centres are equipped with Centr-branded fitness tools—the official global equipment provider for HYROX events. According to GymNation, this ensures that members train using the same equipment as featured in international HYROX competitions.
In addition, GymNation reports that the flooring used in these spaces was imported from Europe and matches the friction levels of certified HYROX race flooring, providing a consistent surface for movement and sled exercises.
The centres also feature Concept2 Rowers and SkiErgs, both of which are standard in official HYROX races. These machines are used to build cardiovascular endurance and functional strength—two core components of HYROX events.
As part of the rollout, GymNation is offering HYROX-specific group training classes, aimed at preparing members for upcoming races or enhancing general fitness through structured, high-intensity training. The classes focus on the combination of endurance and strength required in HYROX competitions.
GymNation has positioned these centres as a destination for both competitive athletes and recreational fitness enthusiasts interested in the HYROX format. The expansion reflects a broader trend of fitness operators aligning with sport-based training models to engage a performance-minded membership base.
