Race preparation · Prague 5 and 1
SkiErg, rowers, wall balls, kettlebells and treadmills at both locations. Jinonice adds sleds and a sandbag, so you can work through all eight stations. We can arrange a coach for your preparation.
Race format
8 km running + 8 stations
1 km of running before every station.
8 stations · 8 km
Every station of the race and where you can train it. A kilometre of running between each.
8 × 1 km
Between every station. Build a pace on the treadmill that holds up on heavy legs.
1,000 m
A full-body pull. Find a rhythm that does not wreck you on the first station.
50 m
Low position, short steps, legs fully engaged. The technique and strength that decide races.
50 m
Hand over hand on the rope with a back that holds. This is where races often turn.
80 m
A burpee and a two-footed jump. All you need is open floor and efficient movement.
1,000 m
Drive with the legs, not the arms. A pace that still lets you carry the kettlebells.
200 m
A kettlebell in each hand. Grip, posture and a calm stride.
100 m
Sandbag on the shoulders, knee to the floor. Legs that still have to run.
100 reps
Squat and throw the medicine ball to the target. The last station, every rep must count.
Two locations
All 8 stationsV zářezu 902/4, 158 00, Praha 5 · Jinonice metro (B)
This is where you can run through the whole race: SkiErg, rowers, wall balls, kettlebells, treadmills, sandbag and sleds. The sled lane is shorter than the race distance, which is plenty for technique and strength.
Running and ergs in the centrePalackého 717/11, 110 00, Praha 1 · Můstek (A) and Národní třída (B) metro
SkiErg, rowers, wall balls, kettlebells and treadmills a short walk from Můstek. There are no sleds or sandbags here; do those in Jinonice.
With a two-location membership (1 490 Kč a month) you can run in the centre and do the sleds in Jinonice.

No. HYROX is a trademark of HYROX World GmbH and ARENA GYM is not an official HYROX Training Club or race partner. You can prepare here with the equipment you will meet on race day, and with a coach if you want one.
In Jinonice. The lane is shorter than the 50 metres of the race, so you cover it in several lengths. That is plenty for push and pull technique and strength. There are no sleds in the City Centre.
That is fine. Start with a coach: first the technique of each station, then combinations with running. A full race simulation comes once you are ready for it.
It depends on how much you run now and how strong you are. There is no universal number of weeks. A coach sets the approach from your race date and starting point.
The open gym costs 200 Kč per visit, membership from 1 190 Kč a month. We agree the coach price based on how often you want to train. MultiSport works for the open gym too.
