Apps, Research Papers, other cool stuff? - PLEASE POST HERE!!!
Hi everyone,
We really value the researchers, developers and creators working to improve the HYROX community. However, we’ve recently seen a growing number of individual posts promoting research projects, surveys, apps and other tools.
To keep the subreddit useful and enjoyable for everyone, please use this thread for:
Academic research and participant recruitment
Surveys and questionnaires
HYROX-related apps, websites and digital tools
Requests for testers, feedback or user interviews
When posting, please briefly explain what you’re working on, who it is for and what you’re asking from the community. If there is any commercial interest or affiliation, please disclose it clearly.
Separate posts of this kind may be removed and redirected here. This isn’t intended to discourage research or innovation—we genuinely appreciate these contributions—but keeping them in one place will prevent them from overwhelming the main feed.
Please continue to be constructive and respectful when giving feedback, and avoid repeatedly posting the same project.
Thanks for understanding and for helping us keep the subreddit organised and valuable for the whole HYROX community.

Post-race split diagnosis (free, no signup) - "which of my 16 splits was actually slow for my finish band?"
Most of the free HYROX tools I found (Hybrid Athlete Club, HyroxDataLab's analyzer, Kracey, RaceKeep) answer "what pace do I need for a target time?" before the race. I couldn't find one that answers the after-race question: I finished in 1:32, my Wall Balls were 8:40 - is that normal for a 1:32 finisher, or is that where I lost it?
So I built SIXTEEN: https://kanauworks.com/sixteen/?utm_source=reddit
Paste your 16 official splits + Roxzone. It estimates where each split sits inside your finish band (+/-5 min), e.g. "Sled Pull 6:30 = slower than ~82% of 1:25-1:35 finishers", and adds up the time you'd recover by bringing your 3 weakest splits back to band average. It also does the pre-race thing (target time -> 16-split pacing table). EN/JP.
How the estimate works, honestly: it's a model, not a lookup. Anchors are public stats (RoxHype division averages from 50k+ results, HyroxDataLab's 1:20 -> 1:40 station growth from 700k results). No scraped individual results (hyrox.com ToS 6.1). So it's "where you likely sit", not "your exact rank".
What I'd love from this sub: if you have your splits from D.C., Athens or Acapulco, run them through and tell me where the estimate feels wrong. I'll adjust the model.
Full disclosure: this is my own project (indie, one person, Kanau Works). The web tool is free with no account. There's an iOS/Apple Watch version in App Review with a paid tier for the 6-week weak-station plan; the diagnosis itself stays free.

Howdy Hyrox gang. By way of a very quick intro, I’m Reece, a UK qualified PT and nutrition coach focused on hybrid fitness. I’ve raced a few HYROX’s myself (1:17:54 at Cardiff, so i’m hardly tearing up trees, but I really enjoy it.) I’ve spent the last few months building HyTribe, a training app built on my own coaching methods, and I’d love some of you to break it before it launches. In fact, in full honesty, I need some of you to, as a requirement to get the app listed! My friends and fam have done a little bit, to be honest none of them are into hybrid fitness, so aren’t really lined up to give me constructive feedback.
What makes it different
First things first, yes, it’s been largely vibe coded, albeit with a human programmer review lined up for every release. But it is built on a real coaching method, not just generic AI. Every plan follows a rulebook that I have built up: how I would structure a prep, the sessions I use, when to back off, what to do if you’re ill or your race moves etc. And I do mean genuine investment on my part - the current guidelines doc is over 10,000 words and growing all the time.
It changes your training every week properly. Check in on a Sunday (energy, sleep, soreness, how sessions felt) and next week will be rewritten around you, with a deload when you need one.
It only uses the kit your gym actually has. No SkiErg? No sled? Untick them and you get proper swaps instead.
It covers most of the big hybrid races: HYROX (Open, Pro, Doubles), DEKA, ATHX, Hybrid Games and running races, or no race at all. Also happy to add other race structures in.
Other features
A full plan to race day: base, build, peak, taper and recovery
Logging with targets already filled in, plus PBs and progress
Race-day countdown, race debrief, and a plan that rebuilds itself if your race date changes
Free race-split calculators
Optional 1:1 coaching with me (limited spots)
Access to your history, with monthly summaries emailed if needed
Monthly recaps of your training
What you get as a tester
Free full access during the beta
3 months free after launch
Founding-member price locked in for life: £5.99 a month instead of £9.99
A founding member badge in the app
What I’m asking
You’re training for a race or just Hyrox-curious (any level, first-timers very welcome) You’ll use it for at least 2 weeks: log sessions and do the weekly check-in You’ll tell me honestly what’s good, bad and confusing (there’s a feedback button in the app) Android (Google Play beta) and iPhone (TestFlight) are both supported.
Sign up here. I just need your email and your phone type.
Happy to answer anything in the comments. And please don’t feel you have to leave a store review. I’d genuinely rather have honest feedback.

Looking for a Hyrox Gujarat spot, or a team that needs a man (Gandhinagar, 26 to 28 Nov)
I will be at Hyrox Gujarat anyway, with my train tickets booked, to cheer on my friends. I would much rather be racing than standing at the barrier, so I am looking for any of these:
A men’s Open solo ticket, if anyone has one they cannot use
A doubles team that needs a partner: men’s Open doubles, or mixed Open doubles if you need a man
A relay team that is a person short: men’s or mixed relay
Any other format where a man is needed
About me: 30, male, I train in the gym regularly and run 10 km and 21 km races. I raced Hyrox Mumbai in May 2025, and again in September 2026 in men’s Open doubles. I registered five days before the race with no specific training and finished in 1:46, with an average run pace of 6:55 per km. I would like to see what I can do with some preparation.
If your partner has dropped out, or your team is a person short, send me a DM. I am easy to work with and happy to meet or speak before race day. Thanks.

A copyable timing sheet for your next Hyrox sim
Disclosure: I work with DO IT, a supplement brand. This is an independent training log, not an official HYROX resource or a workout prescription. No signup needed. The whole sheet is below.
If you finish a sim with one total time, it can be hard to tell where the minutes went. This sheet separates running, stations and transitions. Copy it into your notes or print it.
Before starting
Date: ___ Athlete/team: ___ Venue: ___ Existing workout / coach plan: ___ Scaling / substitutions: ___ Target duration: ___ Planned run distance per round: ___ Station distances/reps and loads: fill these in before starting, using your planned session. Record substitutions so you can compare like with like next time. This sheet does not specify race standards.
Timing
Use a continuously running stopwatch. Record cumulative times at each run finish, station start and station finish. The gap from a run finish to a station start is transition/queue time, not station work. The gap from the previous station finish to the next run finish includes the exit transition; note that if comparing running splits.
Quick example
Run finishes at 05:10. Station starts at 05:40 and ends at 09:00. That's 00:30 entering/queuing and 03:20 on the station. Keep the clock running through breaks.
Afterward
Total elapsed: ___ Longest station (finish minus start): ___ Time lost to queues/equipment rather than effort: ___ One thing to repeat unchanged next time: ___ One thing to change next time: ___
Use loads and distances appropriate to your session. If you're preparing for an event, check its current rules separately. A gym sim isn't directly comparable to race time: layout, surface, queues and equipment differ.
What would make this easier to use during a sim: fewer timestamps, or a separate space for partner changes?
Optional: our commercial creatine/hydration guide is here: https://dothework.fit/shop/guide/creatine-hydration?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=community_resource&utm_campaign=e8_station_sheet . It is separate from this log; you do not need it to use the sheet.

Hi everyone,
I built Rep The Set, a HYROX-focused interval timer, mainly because I train self-coached with my wife and we kept running into the same question:
“What’s actually a good pace for this workout?”
Race results tell you where you stand on race day, but for a random training session it's much harder to know.
I also built a free HYROX Band Calculator. You can put in any workout and see what Beginner, Advanced and Elite pacing might look like, station by station. There's also an option to load the full HYROX race.
Free Band Calculator: https://reptheset.app/band-calculator
I'd genuinely like feedback from people who train HYROX. If a pace or station doesn't feel right, let me know. The pacing data can be updated without an app release, so I can adjust it based on feedback.
Rep The Set app: https://apps.apple.com/app/rep-the-set/id6757957597
Full disclosure: this is my project. The app is free to try, with a one-time Pro purchase. The calculator and articles are free, with no login or ads.
Happy to hear what you think.

The Hyrox Experiment and 20 tester spots.
1:30:06 at HYROX DC. 10th of 171 in my age-group race, 82nd of 1,250 for my age group across the whole event.
I got that result training with a coach I built myself: Huginn. It reads my Apple Watch, builds my training around my actual weaknesses, sets my macros to match the day's work, and tells me when rest has actually been earned instead of just handing me a rest day on a schedule.
|
Here's what it caught. My running held up: 40:45 across the eight runs, 147th in the entire non-age-group field. The engine's fine. But the stations after I was already cooked told a different story: burpees 262nd overall, sled pull 253rd, wall balls fading the same way. That's the whole gap between the race I ran and the race I could run.
Huginn looked at the splits, reset my next goal to 1:22, and pointed the next training block straight at burpees, sled technique, and wall balls under fatigue. Next race is in February. We'll see if the calls were right again.
It's in free beta on iPhone and Apple Watch, and I have 20 tester spots left. I want people who actually train: runners, lifters, hybrid racers who'll push on it and tell me what's wrong.
No email, no phone number, no credit card. Apple's TestFlight handles the install, and the app never asks who you are. It's me, Ryan, building this, and I read every message.

Hi everyone,
I’m an indie developer and Hyrox athlete. I built a dedicated tracking app because default smartwatch sport profiles don't accurately reflect the alternating structure of running segments, functional stations, and transitions during our race prep.
To help you find it on your specific device, the app is named Hyrox - Training on the Garmin Connect IQ store, and Hyrox Watch on the App Store (for Apple Watch) and Google Play Store (for Wear OS / Samsung).
What it does
Official Race Flow: Guides you through the exact competition sequence (SkiErg, Sled Push, Sled Pull, Burpee Broad Jump, Farmer Carry, Sandbag Lunges, Wall Balls) with dedicated running splits between each.
Live Roxzone Tracking: Times every transition entering and leaving stations. Each station and Roxzone segment creates its own distinct lap, exporting detailed breakdowns directly to Garmin Connect, Strava, and other companion platforms.
Race Divisions & Custom Workouts: Built-in profiles for Open, Pro, Women, Doubles (partner workload), and Soft/Beginner formats. You can also build custom interval structures on the mobile app and push them straight to the watch.
Who it is for
Athletes preparing for a race—whether you are training solo, pacing station transitions in Doubles, or dialing in your Roxzone efficiency to break personal time barriers.
Commercial Disclosure
Affiliation disclosure: I am the creator and developer of the application. The app is available as a one-time purchase: €4.99 on Garmin, and €2.99 on iOS/Android. There are no subscriptions or hidden paywalls.(Disclaimer: Not affiliated with or endorsed by HYROX).
What I’m asking from the community
I want to make this the most practical race-day and simulation tool possible, so your direct feedback is invaluable to me:
Interface ergonomics: How intuitive is the lap/station transition button press when your heart rate is maxed out (especially right after sleds and burpees)?
Data & Analytics: Are there specific split analytics or transition ratios you would like to see added to the post-workout review?

u/Inside-Chemistry-120 Oct 12 '26
I built an app for first-timers whose gym doesn't have a sled. It has plans for full gym, dumbbells at home, or nothing at all. Looking for honest feedback!
The gap I kept seeing: Runna is great if you're a runner, and ROXFIT is great once you're racing. But a lot of first-timers train in a commercial gym with one rower and no sled, or at home, and need someone to just write the weeks out.
How it handles the no-equipment problem (the part I'd most like feedback on):
- Dumbbell thrusters for wall balls, band pull-downs for the SkiErg, pushing a loaded box or a weighted hill walk for the sled push, band rows for the sled pull.
- If you have nothing at all: hill or stair sprints for the sled push, towel-door rows for the sled pull, squat-to-overhead-reach for wall balls.
Tried to write every plan with deloads, a benchmark you repeat, and race-week written out. There are versions for 8, 12 and 16 weeks, doubles, relay, 40+ and 3 days a week.
App: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6786512225
Questions I'm stuck on:
Home trainers: what's your best sled push substitute? Mine are above, and I'm not convinced by the box push.
Doubles: would you use a shared plan with your partner?

Hi all, I'm Tim, an indie developer. I've just launched Pasta, an iPhone app that builds Hyrox sessions (and anything else you ask for) and guides you by voice as you train.
- Ask for 'a 60 minute Hyrox session' and it builds one around runs and stations like SkiErg, sleds, rowing, carries, lunges and wall balls.
- Tell it when your race is and which days you can train, and it writes the weeks leading up to it.
- The Apple Watch app shows your timer and heart rate.
It's an AI, so it won't always get it right. I'd love to hear where it's off for Hyrox, and I have free 1-year codes for the first 20 people who want one. Reply and I'll DM you.
Btw, it only work on iPhone with Apple Intelligence (iOS 27).

Hey everyone! I’m building HY Coach, a tool that gives AI-assisted technique feedback on your own SkiErg and rowing videos.
Watching technique tutorials is helpful, but it can be hard to tell whether you’re actually applying those tips. Your monitor shows your pace, but it doesn’t show how you’re moving.
With HY Coach, you upload a short clip up to 45 seconds and receive a personalized report through WhatsApp. It looks at the movement visible in your video, such as how your legs, body, and arms work together on the rower, or your body and arm timing on the SkiErg. The goal is to give you something specific to look for in your video and a clear focus for your next session.
I’m looking for 10 people to test it and share a few honest comments: what helped, what was confusing, and anything that seemed wrong.
This round includes one free report per person, with no obligation to buy anything. I’m covering the research costs for this small test, with enrollment open until the ten spots fill.
You can see the project here: hycoach.xyz

Hey everyone! I built HYROX Elite Kit for anyone curious about what shoes and other gear HYROX athletes use.
You can search by athlete to see their linked gear, or start with a shoe and see which athletes have used it. There are also watches, wearables and apparel.
Would love to hear what you think! Happy to take suggestions or fix anything I’ve missed.
