Fit2Live Is Now an Official HYROX Affiliate in Ann Arbor!
If you’ve been paying attention to the fitness world lately, you’ve probably heard the name HYROX popping up everywhere.
And for good reason.
HYROX is the fastest-growing fitness competition on the planet right now — over 550,000 athletes competed in 2025 alone. In 2026, more people will do a HYROX race than a marathon!
It’s an indoor race built around 8 rounds of 1km running, each followed by a functional workout station: sled pushes, sled pulls, rowing, farmers carries, sandbag lunges, wall balls, and more.
It’s challenging. It’s measurable. And it’s designed for real people and not just elite athletes.
Last week, Fit2Live became an official HYROX affiliate.
Here’s what that means and why we did it.
Why We Affiliated with HYROX
The short answer: because the way we already train at Fit2Live is the best possible foundation for a HYROX event.
Strength training, progressive overload, constantly varied conditioning, that’s been our approach for 18 years. We’ve always believed that building a strong, capable body is the goal. HYROX just gives that training a new layer of purpose.
If you’ve been training with us, you’re already ahead of most people who show up to their first HYROX race. The strength you’ve built, the conditioning you’ve developed, the consistency you’ve maintained, it all transfers directly.
We affiliated because HYROX is exploding in popularity and we want to make sure our members and our community have access to the best possible training for it, whether that means competing or just getting fitter in a new way.
What Is HYROX? (If You’re New to It)

What’s Changing at Fit2Live
For current members: your regular workout of the day classes aren’t changing.
Those classes are still the core, the most effective way to build lean muscle, lose fat, increase your strength, and feel better every day. That doesn’t change.
What IS changing:
Starting Thursday, June 11th our 6:30pm class will convert to a HYROX class and we’ll be adding a 75 minute Saturday training camp from 12-1:15pm starting Saturday, June 13th.
We’ll run this schedule for 5 weeks, if the average attendance is 6 or more than we’ll keep rolling with this schedule of HYROX offerings going forward.
These sessions are interval-based and specifically designed to build the engine that HYROX demands.
Thursday class we’ll be a shorter interval based class working on some of the finer components of a Hyrox event with the Saturday training camp being a more intense and endurance based variation of a HYROX event.
Check out some of the benefits of both of these class and camp options for you:
- Aerobic capacity
- Endurance
- Lactate threshold
- VO2 max
- Muscular endurance
- Feelings of being generally awesome!
The workouts will run a little longer than what you’re used to. They’ll feel different. And they’ll make you fitter in ways your regular training complements perfectly.
*The Thursday class will be included in your regular Fit2Live membership and will be $24 for non members.
*The Saturday training camp will be $15 for members and $24 for non members.

Thinking About Competing?
You don’t have to race HYROX to benefit from this. But if you’ve been curious about it, or have friends who are already doing it, now is a great time to get involved.
Our regular classes build the strength and conditioning foundation. Our Saturday Engine sessions build the endurance and aerobic capacity on top of that. Together, it’s the complete picture.
If you know someone interested in HYROX training, invite them to try a class any Thursday or Saturday.
