The fitness trend can be replicated and altered to your needs
A popular TikTok trend can be done in your own gym, without costing you any extra money. Fitness competition Hyrox has been dominating the TikTok For You Page lately, thanks to the likes of Molly-Mae’s sister Zoe Hague and her husband Danny Rae.
The timed workout challenge, seen as a ‘badge of honour’ to many, combines running with eight functional workout stations. You run five miles inside, with each mile broken up with exercises such as rowing, SkiErg, burpee broad jumps, and wall balls.
The competition can be done in pairs, mixed-gendered, same-sex, or solo. Hyrox occurs worldwide, from Dublin and Paris to London and Stockholm—the closest to Merseyside is Manchester. The next official dates are Friday, 24, Saturday, 25, and Sunday, 26 January.

However, with many wanting to get involved in the action, it can be hard to secure a place in the competition—at least officially. Thankfully, a simulation workout that tests your stamina and strength in a similar fashion, can be done in your own gym.
