HYROX Bengaluru is planned for May 2027 at the Bangalore International Exhibition Centre (BIEC). That's about six months away, which is a great position to be in. You have enough time to get fitter first, rather than rushing to the start line. Here's how to use it.

Your six-month plan
Dates count back from a mid-May race. Adjust them when HYROX confirms your race day.
| Phase | When | Goal | You're ready to move on when… |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 · Foundation | Nov–Dec | Build an easy running base and basic strength | You can run 5 km comfortably |
| 2 · Build | Jan–Feb | Increase running and start learning the stations | You can run 8 km and do all eight movements |
| 3 · Combine | Mar–mid-Apr | Run straight into stations, and practise transitions | You can finish a half simulation in control |
| 4 · Sharpen | Mid-Apr–early May | One or two fuller simulations, then ease back | You feel fresh and know your pacing |
| 5 · Race week | May | Short sessions and lots of sleep | You're on the start line |
Phase 1: get fit before you get specific
You don't need to practise burpees every day in November. Over these first two months, focus on two things:
- Running: two or three mostly easy runs a week. HYROX has 8 km of running, and it's often the part people underestimate.
- Strength: two full-body sessions a week, with squats, lunges, deadlifts, rows and carries. Our strength habit guide shows how to start at home.
Find the right gym
Bengaluru has plenty of gyms and functional fitness boxes, but they don't all have the right kit. Before February, look for one with a sled, SkiErg, rowing machine and wall balls. Ask whether they run HYROX classes. If you can't find one, use these alternatives, then book a few sessions somewhere with the real equipment.
| Station | Gym alternative |
|---|---|
| SkiErg | Resistance-band pulldowns or battle ropes |
| Sled push | Heavy step-ups or walking lunges |
| Sled pull | Heavy rows or resistance-band pulls |
| Wall balls | Medicine-ball squats and throws |
Training for Doubles or Relay
A partner makes a long training block more fun, and much easier to stick to. Before you sign up together:
- Match your running pace. In Doubles, you both cover every kilometre, so the slower runner usually sets the speed.
- Split stations by strength. Decide who leads on each one, then practise it.
- Train together once a week. Run sessions and hand-overs matter more than hard gym sessions.
- Agree on your goal. Finishing and enjoying it is a very different race from chasing a time.
Six months is long enough to burn out
Long training blocks often go wrong in the middle, not at the start. Work, travel and hard sessions build up, so plan for it:
- Take an easier week every four weeks or so, and cut your training by about a third.
- Protect your sleep. Our guide to sleep, recovery and HRV shows why it matters.
- Follow trends, not single days. One low HRV reading means little. Several days of poor sleep and a raised resting heart rate deserve attention.
- Plan for heat. Outdoor runs get harder as the weather warms up, so try cooler early mornings and stay hydrated.
SynQ, our screenless fitness tracker, is being designed to turn these signals into plain-language guidance. It hasn't launched yet, and we'll share the India launch date and price with our waitlist first.
This week: time an easy 3 km run, and write down how many squats you can do with good form in one minute. Repeat both in January to see your progress.
HYROX training is demanding. If you have a heart condition, an injury or are new to exercise, speak to a doctor before you start, and ask a qualified coach to check your technique. Stop if you have chest pain, dizziness or unusual breathlessness.
