Hyrox for women in Marrakech

What Hyrox is

Hyrox is a race held indoors. Eight kilometres, broken into eight runs of one kilometre, with a work station between each one: ski erg, sled push, sled pull, burpee broad jumps, row, farmers carry, sandbag lunges, wall balls.

The order never changes, in any city. That is what makes it a sport rather than a hard class: a time set in Marrakech means the same thing as a time set in Berlin.

What that looks like here

The studio has the machines the race uses. The Concept2 rowers and ski ergs are the ones on the start line, the sled is the same, so are the wall balls and kettlebells. You train on competition equipment rather than something close to it.

Twelve places, one hour. Small on purpose: past twelve, nobody is watching your position on the sled.

If you have never raced

Neither had most of the women in the room. Hyrox scales. The sled loads change, the sandbag changes, the number of wall balls changes. The distance does not, which is what makes progress legible a month later.

Questions

Do I need to be a runner to start Hyrox?

No. Hyrox alternates one-kilometre runs with strength stations, and the two are trained separately before anyone puts them together. Most women who start here have never raced.

Is the class really women only?

Yes. Coaches, members, staff. KURV is women only at every hour it is open, and the Hyrox class is no exception.

Can I come once to try?

Yes. A single class needs no membership, and the weekly pass exists for women visiting Marrakech.

Where
