International fitness race series HYROX has announced its training partnership with F45 Training, a fitness community & platform specializing in functional group workouts. The partnership will roll out across all existing F45 Training markets with the exception of Australia, New Zealand and Singapore.
Building on F45 Training’s existing 87 HYROX affiliates, the two-year agreement will see F45 Training serve as an official HYROX training partner.
HYROX has also named F45 as the official title sponsor for HYROX London at ExCeL in November 2024. This announcement is part of the wider global training partnership and sees F45 enter a two-year agreement with HYROX.
Meanwhile, HYROX has launched a new ballot system for the public to purchase race tickets for the F45 HYROX London event at ExCeL in November 2024.
According to HYROX… ‘This decision follows the surge in popularity in recent years of the fitness race. With participation levels growing by a staggering 1,000% since 2017, the ballot aims to give prospective athletes a fairer chance at securing a race ticket.
‘The HYROX events in London, in particular, have seen a huge spike in uptake; the most recent race in London Olympia taking place in May boasting more than 12,500 athletes over a three-day period; close to double compared to the same event in 2023. Due to this unprecedented demand, a ballot system was the natural next step for the fitness racing phenomenon.’
The window for entry into the ballot for the F45 HYROX London is from Thursday, May 23, 2024, for seven days. Athletes can access the ballot on the official HYROX website only.
HYROX Co-Founder, Christian Tötzke said “Our choice to introduce a ballot system for F45 HYROX London marks a significant step in enhancing our competitor experience and offering equal footing for every person wishing to take part in HYROX.
“Having to introduce a ballot system is testament to not only the growth of HYROX but society’s growing focus on the benefits of an active and healthy lifestyle.”
