Inside HYROX Cruise: The four day ‘fitness at sea’ experience with round-the-clock workouts

Some of us only know HYROX because of the girl who pooped herself. Or maybe because of the viral tweets about how HYROX got its name that you see going around every now and then. But, there are some people who are so deep in the HYROX world that they’re actually going on a cruise based around it. Yep, that’s a thing. 

There is an actual cruise liner that hosts HYROX, and athletes pay good money to do it. The brand markets it as “the evolution of fitness travel” and says it’s “the most immersive HYROX training and lifestyle experience we have ever built.”

Welcome aboard, I guess?
