Many clients do TLM from home with basic equipment and crush it!

Dumbbells and/or kettlebells

FAQs

What should I do if I feel like I don’t have the fitness level to start the HYROX program?
Plus icon

If you feel like your fitness level is below the level of our HYROX program have no fear. Inside TLM we offer direct support and can make sure you are prepared as best as you can be for the fitness level you are at. We recommend starting with our FOUNDATIONS or BEGINNER RUNNER plan(s) + our on demand cardio in the app. When you join, just message our coaches and they can help you create your plan.

How does the HYROX program differ from other TLM lifting programs?
Plus icon

Unlike our other lifting programs that focus primarily on strength development with supportive conditioning, the HYROX program is specifically designed to prepare you for the HYROX event format. It includes:

  • Event-specific training for all 8 HYROX stations
  • Running sessions tailored to the 1km segments of the race
  • Workouts that mimic the transitions between stations
  • Periodized approach culminating in peak performance on race day
  • Higher conditioning volume compared to our standard lifting programs

After your HYROX event, we recommend taking a recovery week with light activity, then transitioning to one of our standard programs like PERFORM or BUILD to maintain your fitness base. If you're planning another HYROX event, you can restart the program X weeks before your next race, potentially at a higher intensity level based on your previous experience.

Who is the TLM HYROX program designed for?
Plus icon

Our HYROX program is suitable for three main audiences: first-time HYROX participants looking to complete their first race, experienced athletes aiming to improve their HYROX times, and individuals seeking general fitness improvement through a balanced mix of strength, conditioning, and running. The program includes scaling options for beginners, intermediates, and advanced athletes.

Can I do this program if I've never done a HYROX event before?
Plus icon

Absolutely! The program is designed with scaling options for all fitness levels. First-time HYROX participants will find appropriate progressions that build the specific strength and conditioning needed for the event. The program also includes guidance on pacing strategies for race day, which is especially helpful for newcomers.
