What is Hyrox? Turkey's First Hyrox Retreat Camp

Hyrox: The New Standard in Fitness Racing

Hyrox was born in Germany in 2017 and has quickly captivated millions of athletes worldwide. With its motto "The World Series of Fitness Racing," Hyrox offers a standardised race experience that anyone can participate in, from professional athletes to amateurs.

Race Format

A Hyrox race consists of 8 runs + 8 functional exercise stations:

Each round starts with a 1km run, followed by a functional station. Total distance is approximately 8km running + 8 stations.

Stations in order:

  1. 1km Run + SkiErg (1000m) — Full-body endurance on the ski simulator
  2. 1km Run + Sled Push (50m) — Pushing a weighted sled
  3. 1km Run + Sled Pull (50m) — Pulling a weighted sled with rope
  4. 1km Run + Burpee Broad Jump (80m) — Burpee + forward jump combination
  5. 1km Run + RowErg (1000m) — Rowing machine
  6. 1km Run + Farmer's Carry (200m) — Walking with heavy dumbbells
  7. 1km Run + Sandbag Lunges (100m) — Lunges with sandbag
  8. 1km Run + Wall Balls (100 reps) — Wall ball shots

Standardised Format

Unlike CrossFit, Hyrox races follow the same format everywhere. Hamburg, Dubai — same distances, same weights, same stations. This makes performance comparison possible.

Everyone Can Participate

Weights are adjusted by gender and category. Pro, Open and Doubles categories exist. The Open category is ideal for first-time racers.

Community Spirit

Hyrox races are famous for their atmosphere as much as individual performance. Thousands of spectators, DJs, light shows — race day feels like a festival.

GreenUrla Hyrox & Performance Retreat

GreenUrla is Turkey's first Hyrox-focused retreat camp. In our 7-night programme, you'll train with Concept2 RowErg, SkiErg, sled push, sandbag carry — all professional-grade equipment, combined with running analysis, recovery protocols and personalised training plans.
