There’s a global fitness competition making serious waves—and it’s not just for elite athletes. It’s called HYROX, and it’s designed for everyday people who want a proper challenge, a serious sweat, and a buzzing atmosphere.
At Steel Foundry CrossFit in Manchester, we don’t just prep you for HYROX—we get you race-ready and raring to go.
HYROX is a global fitness race that blends functional strength, endurance, and mental grit in a way that’s equal parts brutal and addictive.
Every race follows this format:
By the end, you’ll have run 8K and powered through 8 stations—testing your engine, your mindset, and your mettle.
The best bit? Anyone can do it. HYROX is scalable, inclusive, and weirdly fun. Whether you’re new to fitness or a competitive beast, the format meets you where you’re at—and then pushes you that bit further.
This isn’t your average gym—and this ain’t your average training program. Steel Foundry CrossFit was recently featured in Women’s Health magazine as one of the best HYROX gyms in Manchester—and for good reason.
Here’s why we’re the go-to spot for HYROX prep:
You don’t need to be a runner or a weightlifter to start. Our coaches break down the format, scale the sessions, and help you build from wherever you are.
We run dedicated HYROX classes every Monday and Thursday at 6:30 PM, plus a 90-minute Sunday session at 8:30 AM. These are designed to mimic the demands of race day—sleds, ski ergs, burpee broad jumps, wall balls, and everything in between.
Want to put your training to the test before race day? We’ll be launching full HYROX sim events very soon—open to all, drop-ins welcome.
This is CrossFit culture at its finest—community-driven, results-focused, and loud in all the right ways. Whether you’re doing your first HYROX solo or smashing it as a pair, you’ll feel the support from the room the second you walk in.
We train hard—but we also have a laugh. Our sessions are designed to push you without breaking you, and you’ll leave the gym feeling proud, sweaty, and already thinking about next time.
If you’ve ever thought:
Then HYROX is for you. It’s empowering, it’s high energy, and it’s got just the right amount of madness.
Whether you’ve already signed up or just curious what all the fuss is about, Steel Foundry CrossFit is here to help you train, improve, and dominate race day.
