THE PLAN

Now
Keep training BJJ
Kids carry on with their regular classes. We will also start working HYROX movements into our Strength & Conditioning classes.

November
Tickets drop, training gets structured
Kids planning to race are encouraged to join at least one Strength & Conditioning class a week and one HYROX workout a week that combines running with the race movements and stations.

Where
A gym with the equipment
The HYROX workouts need SkiErgs, rowing machines and more. We are hoping to hold them at a gym with that equipment very close to ours, and will confirm as soon as it is set.
