HYROX Gear Recommendations
We promote our favorite gear, products we and our community use extensively. For each category you'll find a recommendation at a fair price point and a premium option, so you can pick what fits your budget.
HYROX Shoes — Our Top Picks
Your shoe choice matters — you'll cover 8 km of running between stations. We've split our picks into three categories so you can find the right shoe for how you race.
All-Round Shoe for Training & Race Day
Fast, stable, and durable enough for daily training and race day. A great all-rounder at a solid price point.
Race Day, Simulations & Faster Runs
Carbon-plated shoes built for speed with plenty of stability for the stations. When you're chasing a PR and want that extra edge.
Saucony Endorphin Pro 5
Carbon-plated race shoe with PWRRUN HG cushioning. Built for speed on race day with maximum energy return on the running segments — and still stable enough to handle every station. Our number one recommendation for HYROX. Many colors available.
Ultra-Fast Racing
The fastest shoe on the market — built for pure running speed. You may trade off some stability on sled pushes and lunges, but if you're a strong runner also competing in road races, this could be your shoe.
Watches & Heart Rate Monitors
Accurate pacing and heart rate data are essential for executing a smart race strategy. These are the tools we trust.
GPS Watch
Your most important training tool — tracks pace, heart rate, and recovery so you can train and race smarter.
Garmin Forerunner 570
Garmin's latest mid-range GPS watch with AMOLED display, advanced training metrics, and multi-band GPS. Tracks running dynamics, heart rate zones, and recovery — everything a HYROX athlete needs.
Accessories: Chest Strap Heart Rate Monitors
Optional but recommended if you want the most accurate heart rate data. Wrist-based HR on your watch works fine for most athletes, but a chest strap gives you near-perfect accuracy — especially useful for pacing by heart rate zones during a race.
Garmin HRM-Fit
Clip-on heart rate monitor designed for women. Attaches to a sports bra for comfortable, accurate heart rate data without a traditional chest strap. Perfect for tracking effort across HYROX stations.
Garmin HRM-Pro Plus
Dual-transmission chest strap (ANT+ and Bluetooth) with running dynamics. The gold standard for accurate heart rate monitoring during training and race day. Stores data offline and syncs later.
Recovery Tools
HYROX training is demanding. Proper recovery lets you train harder and more consistently throughout your program. We have one premium pick and one great-value alternative — both get the job done.
Theragun Prime (6th Gen)
The gold standard in percussive therapy. Quiet motor, ergonomic design, Bluetooth app control, and up to 2 hours of battery life. If you want the best recovery tool on the market, this is it.
Bob and Brad D6 Pro Massage Gun
Delivers deep percussion therapy with 16mm amplitude and 85lbs stall force at a fraction of the Theragun price. 7 attachments included. A solid choice for effective recovery without breaking the bank.
