Yes, you can absolutely train independently!
We offer Open Gym access where you can use our HYROX-specific equipment (SkiErg, sleds, rowers, wall balls, sandbags, farmers carry handles) and spacious facility to train at your own pace and on your own schedule.

This is ideal for experienced athletes following their own programming, members who want extra sessions beyond group classes, or those who prefer self-directed training.

Open Gym is available through dedicated time slots that you can book based on availability.

Alternatively, join our HYROX classes for structured HYROX training in small groups.

Yes! We conduct full HYROX race simulations multiple times leading up to Singapore race dates (typically held on Sundays). These simulations replicate the complete race format — all 8 x 1km runs plus all 8 functional stations in proper sequence — giving you invaluable race-day practice including pacing strategy, station transitions, nutrition timing, and mental preparation. Simulations are open to both Actualize members (bookable with class passes) and the public (available as paid drop-in sessions). This is one of the best ways to test your fitness, identify weaknesses, and build race-day confidence before competition.

Yes! HYROX is designed for all fitness levels. The Open category uses standard weights suitable for beginners, there's no time limit to complete the race, and you can walk portions if needed. At Actualize, many members start with our Turbo program (beginner-friendly functional fitness) to build foundational strength and endurance before transitioning to HYROX-specific training. Our coaches scale every workout to your current abilities, ensuring you're challenged appropriately without being overwhelmed.

You don't need to be race-ready before starting HYROX training. If you're new to fitness, we recommend beginning with our Turbo program (beginner-friendly functional fitness) to build foundational strength, endurance, and movement patterns before transitioning to HYROX-specific training. If you have base fitness from running, gym training, or other sports, you can jump directly into HYROX classes where coaches scale workouts to your current abilities. The beauty of training at Actualize is the progression pathway — start where you are, build systematically, and advance to race preparation when you're ready.

A good first-time HYROX finish is typically 1:30-2:00 hours, with most beginners completing the race between 1:45-2:00. Well-prepared first-timers often finish around 1:35-1:45. The average HYROX finish time globally is approximately 1:32. Remember, completing your first race safely is more important than chasing a specific time. Most athletes improve their finish time by 15-25 minutes between their first and second race through experience and targeted training.

HYROX is a standardized endurance race with the same 8 stations and 8km of running at every event globally, making it predictable and easy to train for. CrossFit is constantly varied functional fitness with different workouts daily, including Olympic lifts and gymnastics movements that HYROX doesn't require. HYROX is more endurance-focused (60-120 minute effort); CrossFit workouts are typically shorter and more varied. Many athletes do both — CrossFit builds well-rounded fitness that translates excellently to HYROX performance.

The 10-class pass is valid for 3 months from the date of purchase, giving you flexibility to train consistently while accommodating your schedule. This applies to all our programs including HYROX, CrossFit, Turbo, and other group classes. The 3-month validity ensures you can prepare properly for races or maintain regular training without feeling rushed.
