Poland’s largest gym franchise, Xtreme Fitness Gyms, has become the official Polish partner for fitness racing giant, Hyrox.

Starting this month, select Xtreme Fitness Gyms will become official Hyrox training centres offering members access to certified training plans and 10 per cent discounts to events in Poland and the Baltics.

Clubs will gain access to the Hyrox365 and Performance Hub platforms, coaching certifications, marketing materials and recognition on the Hyrox map.

“Collaborating with Hyrox Training Club is a unique opportunity to combine an international training brand with the local energy of our clubs,” says Magda Pasuto, member experience manager at Xtreme Fitness Gyms.

“Thanks to this partnership, our franchisees will receive tools that truly support their business development, from prestigious market recognition to improving their coaching skills.

“For club members, it provides new goals, additional motivation and a sense of belonging to a global community.”

The first gyms to offer the services will be Chrzanów, Konin, Lublin, Tarnów Błonie, Bytom, Zabrze, Nowy Sącz (Cegielnia), Świdnik, and Skarżysko-Kamienna. Additional locations will be announced in the coming months.

The certification process for trainers is currently underway and joint marketing efforts to promote the programme will start soon, as the partnership expands to further sites.

Hyrox races combine eight functional training stations – ski erg, sled push and pulls, burpees, rowing, farmer’s carry, sandbag lunges and wall balls – with eight one kilometre runs.
