Twelve spots. One shirt that will only ever exist once. The first official HYROX program in the city of Oshkosh starts June 9, and we are opening presale now.

If you have been looking for a reason to get moving again, or a way in that does not require a six-week runway to learn how to snatch a barbell, this is it.

What HYROX actually is

HYROX is a training format built around running and functional movement. You run, you work a station, you run, you work a station. Think sled pushes, sled pulls, rowing, burpee broad jumps, wall balls, lunges. Movements most people already know how to do, organized in a way that gets you breathing hard and keeps you there.

There is a competition side to HYROX. It is growing fast and the races are real events in real cities. But the competition is not why we are bringing this to Ardent. We are bringing it because it gets people moving, and then it keeps them moving. That is the whole point.

We have the equipment. We have the coaches. We ran a specialty course to test it, and it worked. So we are adding it.

Where HYROX fits in what we already do

We run three programs at Ardent, and each one has a person it is built for.

Function is our functional training program. It pulls from powerlifting, olympic weightlifting, and conditioning. You build strength and you build your engine in the same hour. Function is where you go if you want to get strong and stay strong. It requires an initial training block so you can learn the technical lifts safely.

FLEX is our functional bodybuilding program. Hypertrophy with a purpose. We use deadlifts, bench, squats, and variations of those lifts to build a body that looks good and works well. FLEX is where you go if you want to train for how you want to feel and how you want to look.

HYROX is where you go if you want to get moving and stay moving without a runway. No initial training required. Walk in, move hard, go home. It is the easiest entry point we have ever offered, and it is built for people who want the work without the learning curve.

What a HYROX membership gets you

HYROX members get access to six classes per week across two programs. Three HYROX sessions, three FLEX sessions. Pick what fits your week.

HYROX Training

Thursday at 4:00 p.m.
Saturday at 8:40 a.m.

Functional Bodybuilding (FLEX)

Monday at 4:00 p.m.
Wednesday at 4:00 p.m.

HYROX 12 | 12 classes every 4 weeks | $152.99

HYROX Unlimited | Unlimited classes every 4 weeks | $166.99

How the founding spots work

We are opening twelve total spots. Not twelve per class. Twelve memberships, period. Once they are gone, we close presale and the next opening depends on what the schedule looks like after launch.

A $25 non-refundable deposit holds your spot. That $25 comes off your first four-week membership, so you are not spending extra, you are just committing early.

Reserve by May 15 and you also get a Founding Member shirt. This is the first official HYROX program in Oshkosh, and the first twelve people through the door are the only people who will ever have that shirt. We are not reprinting it.

If you can walk through the door, we got you from there.

Twelve spots. Twelve shirts. June 9.

Reserve by May 15 to lock in your founding spot and your shirt.
