From \u2060around 650 competitors at its first event to more than \u2060one million participants worldwide today, Hyrox has gone from niche fitness challenge to global phenomenon with its sights set on the Olympics in less than a decade.<\/p>\n
A structured indoor activity divided into eight segments, each involving a one-kilometre run followed by a fitness exercise, Hyrox attracts tens of thousands of competitors to its biggest events.<\/p>\n
Its mix of stop-start runs, easy-to-learn exercises, competition and community has proved popular with everyone from \u200celite athletes to everyday exercisers, and organisers believe the sky is the limit in terms of growth.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have close to 1.5 million people at some stage this year taking part in our events,\u201d Deepak Raj, the Hyrox India head, told Reuters.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re in 35-plus countries, 100-plus cities, and each of the events is getting bigger in participation levels.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s hard to put a ceiling [on it] when we know there are gyms where some people haven\u2019t even done a Hyrox, or haven\u2019t maybe even heard of it in some countries.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"From \u2060around 650 competitors at its first event to more than \u2060one million participants worldwide today, Hyrox has…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":590191,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[266981,43440,266984,253877,266986,71547,266982,170,266985,6430,85,207,2313,46,266983,6661,27147,105],"class_list":["post-590190","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-aadi-nair","tag-adidas","tag-alyssa-mcelheny","tag-bangalore","tag-christian-radnedge","tag-christian-toetzke","tag-deepak-raj","tag-germany","tag-hyathlon","tag-hyrox","tag-il","tag-india","tag-indianapolis","tag-israel","tag-moritz-fuerste","tag-olympics","tag-reuters","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/590190","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=590190"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/590190\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/590191"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=590190"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=590190"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=590190"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
