The City of Subiaco Council’s Lords Recreation Centre has become the first local government community recreation centre in Western Australia to become an accredited HYROX training club.
HYROX is a global, indoor fitness ‘race’ that combines eight kilometres of running with eight functional workout stations, including sled push, burpees, and wall balls. Participants run one kilometre followed by a workout station, repeating this circuit eight times to test both endurance and functional strength. Founded in 2017, events are now held worldwide, featuring divisions for individuals, doubles, and relays.
With multiple HYROX events held in Australia across the year, the Council says the locally accredited HYROX training club will allow Lords members to take part in specialised classes that include a combination of running and fitness stations to help people train for the event.
“HYROX is a global fitness phenomenon, and for Lords to become the very first local government recreation centre to offer this accredited training is a fantastic achievement,” said Mayor, David McMullen.
“It’s great to see Lords leading the way and setting a new benchmark for community recreation in our state.”
To kick things off, there will be a special ‘Get a taste of HYROX’ launch event at Lords on Saturday 18 April before classes officially start from Monday 20 April.
