Shared vision.

Hybrid fitness is a team sport.

Allies. After regaining control of HYROX, founders Christian Toetzke and Moritz Fürste joined fitness competition series XENOM as investors and board members, forming a strategic partnership.

Two-step. Viewing HYROX and XENOM as complementary, the alliance will unite marketing, event activation, and education to advance fitness as “the largest sport on earth.”

Worldwide. Hybrid racing has become a rite of passage for millions of competitors — with standardization enabling scale.

HYROX’s eight-station timed workout has become the world’s biggest mass-participation race, while XENOM’s 10 fixed events create a “decathlon of fitness” developed for CrossFit skillsets.

Together, they’re building structured training ecosystems spanning group classes, dedicated venues, and race simulations to engage participants beyond competition day.

Punchline: Taking cues from running and triathlon, HYROX x XENOM is building races for everyone, from everyday athletes to elite competitors.
