Set for HYROX. Why prehab needs to be part of your prep.

HYROX isn’t just a fitness trend. It’s the new benchmark. A race that fuses endurance and strength in a single competition, pulling in everyone from first-time fitness fanatics to seasoned athletes. It’s high intensity. It’s high stakes. It’s high reward. But with the rise in popularity comes a rise in something else too: injuries.

And that’s where we come in. At Bodyset, we’re all about prevention over cure. Movement over restriction. Progress over setbacks. your body isn’t built to break. It’s built to go further. Because when your body is set, so are you.

The rise (and risks) of HYROX

Combining functional workouts with endurance running, HYROX asks a lot of your body, you’ll be powering through 8 x 1km runs, each followed by a station that tests your strength, stamina, and mobility to the max.

And this summer, thousands of Brits will be doing exactly that. HYROX has gone global, and fitness holidays are booming. But with more competition days comes more stress on the body. And we’re already seeing the result: an increase in HYROX-related injuries like:

• Ankle sprains
• Pulled calves
• Shin splints
• Knee instability
• Hip tightness
• Lower back pain

The thing is, most of these injuries are avoidable, with the right prep. The investment in prehab as getting injured and pulling out of race day doesn’t just let you down, it can let your HYROX team down too. And no one wants that.
