Official HYROX TRAINING CLUB
HYROX Training in the Adelaide Hills
House of Hybrid is an official HYROX TRAINING CLUB in Lobethal, in the Adelaide Hills. HYROX is a fitness race that pairs eight one-kilometre runs with eight functional stations, and our coached hybrid strength and conditioning classes build exactly that base: strength for the stations, an engine for the runs, trained together.
Build your base close to home. The race combines SkiErg, sled push, sled pull, burpee broad jumps, rowing, farmers carry, sandbag lunges and wall balls, each preceded by a kilometre of running. See our equipment below and plan separate sled practice where needed.
HYROX punishes specialists and rewards the well-rounded. That is what we build.

Why hybrid training is the right base for HYROX
The people who struggle at HYROX are usually strong in one direction. The runner hits a wall on the sled. The lifter blows up on the runs.
Build your engine with coached interval conditioning and speak to Kurt Waterman about your race goal and preparation.
- Strength for the sleds, carries, lunges and wall balls. A bigger squat and a stronger posterior chain make every station cheaper.
- Conditioning for the runs and for holding pace when your heart rate is pinned deep into the event.
- The ability to combine them, which you cannot fake. Training strength and conditioning together teaches your body to lift hard and then run hard.
Equipment you can train with
We have SkiErg, rowing, wall balls, sandbags and kettlebells for station work, plus Technogym Skillmills for running. Skillmills are not competition sleds: we do not currently have proper sleds.
We do not currently have a 9kg wall ball, 30kg sandbag or 32kg kettlebells. Talk to Kurt about your race division and the equipment you need so you can plan any additional practice.
| Station or movement | What is available |
|---|---|
| Running | Technogym Skillmill runners |
| SkiErg and rowing | Available for station work |
| Sled push and pull | No competition sleds. Plan separate sled practice; Skillmills are not sleds. |
| Farmers carry | Kettlebells available; no 32kg kettlebells |
| Sandbag lunges | Sandbags available; no 30kg sandbag |
| Wall balls | Wall balls available; no 9kg wall ball |
Check your race division and required weights with Kurt before planning your preparation. Burpee broad jumps are bodyweight station work.
What HYROX preparation looks like here
You do not need an exotic program. You need consistent hybrid training, then a sharpening block as the event gets closer.
Months out, the priority is general strength and conditioning: get stronger, build the aerobic engine, move well. As the date nears, practise the available stations and run-to-station transitions, and plan separate sled practice where needed. Then practise the grind: longer mixed pieces that teach you to keep moving when it gets uncomfortable.
Tell our coaches you are aiming at a HYROX and they will point your training at it. Whether you are chasing a time or just want to finish your first one standing, the path is the same.

Good questions
Can a beginner train toward a HYROX?
Yes. The doubles and relay formats make a first HYROX very achievable, and the base you need is exactly what our regular classes build. Tell the coach your goal and they will scale from there.
Do you run HYROX-specific sessions?
Our published timetable is built around S&C, Open Gym and Saturday SEND IT. These develop the strength and conditioning used in HYROX. Tell Kurt your race and division so you can discuss preparation, available equipment and any separate sled practice you need.
How far out should I start training?
Twelve weeks of consistent training is a solid runway for a first event if you already move a bit. The stronger your general base, the shorter the specific prep needs to be.
