Why train Hyrox at The Gym Amsterdam
- The only boutique studio in De Pijp / Amsterdam Zuid with the full Hyrox kit — you can actually practice every station, not just “something similar”
- Race-specific programming — we don’t train “general fitness”, we train for your race date and target time
- Race simulations — we run full Hyrox simulations so you learn race-day pacing and pressure management
- Strength + endurance balance — Hyrox requires both. Generic PT programmes fail because they get the balance wrong
- Nutrition coaching — race-week strategy, carb-loading, hydration protocol
- Coaches with Hyrox experience — Robin Diks (endurance/Hyrox specialist) and Jurmain Nimmermeer (strength/power)
Who we coach
- First Hyrox race athletes — finish without burning out, enjoy the experience
- PR hunters — improve your previous finish time by 10-20 minutes
- Pro qualification chasers — sub-60-minute finishes for World Championship access
- Duo / mixed teams — tag strategies, station splits, transition speed
- Athletes transitioning from CrossFit or triathlon — bridge to Hyrox-specific demands

Hyrox FAQ — Amsterdam English
How many months in advance should I start?
For a first Hyrox race: minimum 12 weeks of focused prep (3 months) if you already have a base level of fitness. For sub-90-minute target: 16-20 weeks. For sub-60 pro qualification: 6+ months of specific programming. We assess your starting point during the free intake and build a realistic timeline.
Do I need to be already fit to start?
Not necessarily. We’ve coached Hyrox clients who started with 5K times over 30 minutes and zero wall ball technique. The question is: how many months until your race? With 6+ months we can build from a base level.
Do you offer duo / team Hyrox training?
Yes — duo personal training is a strong option for mixed or single-sex doubles. We work tag strategies, station splits, and transition speed together. See our personal training page.
Which Hyrox events are in the Netherlands / Europe?
Hyrox hosts events in the Netherlands (Amsterdam, Rotterdam), Germany (Berlin, Köln, Hannover), Belgium (Brussels), UK (London, Manchester), and worldwide. We advise on which race fits your level and planning.
How much does Hyrox coaching cost?
Standard personal training rates apply — starting from €85/session, with better per-session pricing on package buys. For 3+ month Hyrox programs we recommend a 20-session pack. Exact pricing shared during the free intake. Request pricing via WhatsApp.
Can I combine Hyrox prep with regular personal training?
Absolutely — Hyrox prep blends naturally with general strength and conditioning. Many clients start with general PT and switch to Hyrox-mode 12-16 weeks before their race. See regular personal training (English).
