BOCA RATON, FL – Orangetheory Fitness (OTF), the technology-tracked strength and cardio group fitness brand, is becoming an official HYROX Affiliate Partner to offer members at select studios structured, race-inspired programs. Beginning December 1, participating Orangetheory studios will offer the OTF x HYROX affiliate program, a performance-driven training experience modeled after HYROX’s global race format.
Orangetheory’s approach will activate hundreds of HYROX Training Clubs with custom-built classes designed to help members train for HYROX events – or simply level up their weekly fitness routines. These new classes build on Orangetheory’s proven approach to heart rate-zone interval training, combining treadmill, rowing, and functional strength exercises in a way that conditions the body for HYROX’s signature format: eight functional stations that challenge strength, endurance, and coordination, each separated by a one-kilometer run. The grassroots, studio-level program seamlessly complements existing routines while giving Orangetheory members a clear and motivating goal to work toward.
“HYROX tests what happens when strength meets stamina, and that’s where Orangetheory shines,” said Scott Brown, Vice President of Fitness at Orangetheory. “Many people don’t realize HYROX is predominantly an 8K race of compromised running, not just a test of strength and power. Orangetheory’s connected treadmill and rower intervals make it ideal conditioning for HYROX, and these new add-on specialty classes give our HYROX-minded members and coaches even more focus. It’s exactly what they’ve been asking for.”
By aligning Orangetheory’s proven training methodology with HYROX’s globally recognized race format, the partnership brings a new level of purpose and performance to the studio experience. As more fitness enthusiasts gravitate toward structured training with measurable outcomes, the OTF x HYROX collaboration reflects a growing demand for workouts that balance challenge with purpose and community with competition.
“Fitness has become the world’s most universal sport, uniting millions of athletes across gyms, boxes, and bootcamps around the world,” said David Magida, HYROX365 Global Head of Training. “At HYROX365, we believe training shouldn’t be limited by location or schedule; it should be accessible anywhere, anytime, 365 days a year. We’re thrilled to have select Orangetheory studios affiliated with HYROX, giving their members the opportunity to train with purpose, experience the HYROX methodology through a platform that fits their lifestyle, and ultimately giving them the confidence to take on their first race.”
Studios that opt in will become official HYROX Training Clubs, offering specialized classes designed to build the endurance and strength needed for HYROX races. Participating studios will also be featured on the HYROX website, providing members with early access to race registrations across North America.
For Orangetheory, the collaboration reinforces its mission to help people live longer, more vibrant lives through purposeful, measurable progress. For HYROX, it introduces a like-minded community of race-ready athletes already training with the balance of endurance, strength, and power the sport demands.
