From Basel boot camp to global phenomenon: Why HYROX is a perfect fit for ByBo

When people ask me about HYROX's sudden rise, I can't help but smile. For me, it's anything but sudden. I first encountered this incredible race eight years ago and knew immediately that it had enormous potential.

Even back then, I encouraged our original boot campers to take on the challenge. The number of participants was small – HYROX was just beginning its growth – but I was convinced we could pull it off. Why? Because the core of our work at ByBo lies in functional training, which combines strength and endurance. I was, and still am, convinced that this race is truly suitable for everyone, regardless of their current fitness level.

What makes HYROX the ultimate fitness goal?

Fast forward to today: The World Series of Fitness Racing has exploded globally – and I love it! This surge in popularity, especially in the last 2-3 years, is fantastic because it gives people a defined, tangible goal to train towards. Preparing for a HYROX race will make you fitter, stronger, and more resilient.

What makes this training so special?

If you're new to this: The format is simple, but intensely effective.

• Full-body workout: HYROX is a true test of full-body fitness.

• High calorie burn: You can burn up to 600 calories in just 50 minutes.

• Stress relief: The powerful movements such as sled pushes, burpee broad jumps or farmer carries help you clear your head.

• Pure motivation: The music and the fast-paced action get you into the flow.

  
  

I experienced firsthand how much energy I had after a Hyrox session. It's like an inner engine starts up that powers me all day long.

Your personal HYROX workout in Basel

Because of this deep-rooted passion for functional training and to see our community flourish, I'm thrilled that ByBo has been an official HYROX Gym since July! This partnership means we can offer you the most relevant and expert training to lead you to success.

Our commitment is also deeply personal. I recently had the honor of competing in the Doubles category at HYROX Stuttgart alongside one of my incredible long-term clients – whose inspiring story will soon deserve its own blog post! Now I'm focusing on the next challenge: I'll be trying my luck in the Individual category at the HYROX St. Gallen race. This hands-on experience underscores our philosophy: We train together, we compete together, and we grow stronger as a community. When you train with us for HYROX, you don't just get a workout; you receive personalized coaching based on real-world racing knowledge to ensure every movement is efficient and every training session moves you closer to your goal.

Here are my tips for getting started:

1. Find a good course.

2. Pay attention to technique: quality over quantity. It's better to practice slowly and precisely than quickly and sloppily.

3. Regularity is key: Two to three times a week is enough to see rapid progress.

4. Don't forget to warm up: Prepare your body with light cardio and stretching exercises.

5. Plan a cool-down: After training, stretching and relaxation help to avoid muscle soreness.

   
   

These steps will equip you perfectly to reach your fitness goal and have lots of fun doing it.
