Zepp Health is also targeting Hyrox athletes (symbol photo)
Amazfit has launched a new hybrid-training system designed for athletes who combine strength and endurance work—including competitive Hyrox racers. The system helps users find the optimal balance between endurance and strength training.
Balancing strength and endurance training is tough—as any athlete who does both knows. A hard running session can make your next strength workout feel like a struggle. For competitive Hyrox athletes, the trade-offs are even steeper. Zepp Health now aims to solve this with what it calls the first fully integrated hybrid training system for Amazfit smartwatches.
The system features Training Balance, which shows which type of workout is currently prioritised. It tracks your completed sessions and measures how endurance and strength are distributed, so you can adjust your routine accordingly. HybridCharge gives you a clearer picture of your energy level by factoring in training load plus other stressors like illness. Amazfit combines sensor data with user-reported inputs—often subjective—to calculate this. For the Balance 3 and Balance Ultra, Amazfit adds a dedicated Hyrox training library, plus virtual race pace guidance, performance analysis, and an in-race virtual assistant.
HybridCharge and Training Focus are features already familiar
I have been active as a journalist for over 10 years, most of it in the field of technology. I worked for Tom’s Hardware and ComputerBase, among others, and have been working for Notebookcheck since 2017. My current focus is particularly on mini PCs and single-board computers such as the Raspberry Pi – so in other words, compact systems with a lot of potential. In addition, I have a soft spot for all kinds of wearables, especially smartwatches. My main profession is as a laboratory engineer, which is why neither scientific contexts nor the interpretation of complex measurements are foreign to me.
