Hyrox Gyms in Dallas: Where to Train for Your Next Race (2026)

Short answer: the officially affiliated options in the metro are Hunger in the Wild in the Design District, GRIT Fitness in the Design District and on SMU Boulevard, FTX Hybrid Athletics in Fort Worth, and Hustle House Fitness in The Colony. For Hyrox-focused classes without an official badge, CrossFit Love Field near the airport and Pantera CrossFit in Plano both run dedicated Hyrox sessions weekly.

Hyrox is not something you can improvise on a treadmill and a cable stack. The race asks for a SkiErg, a rower, a sled you can actually push across turf, wall balls at two target heights, a heavy sandbag, and enough clear floor to walk 100 meters of lunges. Most commercial gyms in DFW have two of those six things and a lot of mirrors.

HYROX lists HYROX Dallas for November 18 to 22, 2026 on its official event page, at the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center on South Griffin Street, Halls B and C. Five full days of racing, expanded because Texas is now the biggest HYROX market in North America.

A note on "official affiliate" versus "Hyrox-style"

This distinction matters, and in Dallas a lot of gyms market the word loosely. An official HYROX affiliate, branded as a HYROX Training Club or Training Partner, pays for affiliation, gets the official programming library, and can market under the HYROX name. A gym running Hyrox-style conditioning is not worse, it is simply not the same arrangement. Below, each gym's status is what it claims on its own site. Where there is no official claim, I say so.

Hyrox gyms in Dallas and Fort Worth

Hunger in the Wild

Area: Dallas Design District, at 1350 Manufacturing Street, Suite 204.
Status: States on its own Hyrox page that it is Dallas's official HYROX Training Club.

The most complete week of Hyrox coaching in the city. The schedule splits into three class types across five days: Hyrox Engine on Monday and Thursday, Hyrox Strength on Tuesday, Hyrox Performance on Wednesday and Saturday, morning and evening on most days. Membership is listed at $220 per four week cycle with a $30 drop-in, and includes Olympic weightlifting under the same roof. Best for a periodized build rather than a hard hour. hungerinthewild.com

FTX Hybrid Athletics

Area: Fort Worth, at 6775 Camp Bowie Boulevard.
Status: States on its own site that it is an Official HYROX Training Partner, and claims to be the second HYROX affiliate in Texas and the fifth in the country. That ranking is their claim, not something I could confirm on hyrox.com.

If you were searching for L3 HYROX or CrossFit L3, this is where you land. Those brands were unified under FTX Hybrid, so the older listings are not separate gyms. Their record: the site lists 52 Hyrox podiums, 20 Worlds qualifiers since 2021, and 91 athletes racing HYROX Dallas. Saturday at 9:00 AM is a Hyrox-specific class, Tuesday evening is a track session at W.H. Monnig. Drop-ins listed at $25, first class free. Best for competitive athletes on the west side. ftxhybrid.com

GRIT Fitness

Area: Dallas, Hyrox program run at the Design District studio inside KO Boxing, plus a second location on SMU Boulevard.
Status: States on its own Hyrox page that it is an official HYROX Training Club.

A women's fitness community running a five month Hyrox Prep Program timed to race week, with prep classes four days a week plus five open gym windows for station access. The class pack is published at $599 for 30 passes valid June 6 to November 6, 2026, including a full race simulation in September and early Hyrox registration access. Best for women who want a scheduled build with a team around it. dallasgritfitness.com

Hustle House Fitness

Area: The Colony, at 3700 Plano Parkway, within reach of both Frisco and Plano.
Status: States on its own location page that it is an Official HYROX Partner Gym.

The far north option, and the only affiliate here built around a group HIIT format rather than a barbell floor. It holds multiple Hyrox sessions a week, offers members early access to race registration, and has had athletes competing since 2024. Treat the Hyrox sessions as your race work and the rest as your base. Best for north suburb athletes who want coaching without joining a box. hustlehousefitness.com

CrossFit Love Field

Area: Dallas, at 9233 Denton Drive near Love Field.
Status: Runs Hyrox-focused training. The site does not state official affiliate status, so I am not calling it one.

Over 9,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor space. Dedicated Hyrox classes sit at 7:00 PM Tuesday and Thursday and 9:30 AM Sunday, and the gym posts hybrid Hyrox versions of the daily workout Monday, Wednesday and Friday for unlimited members. Note the split: Hyrox-only memberships are limited to those three class slots. Best for CrossFitters adding a race to the year. crossfitlovefield.com

Pantera CrossFit

Area: Plano, at 3033 West Parker Road, Suite 116.
Status: Runs Hyrox-focused training. No official affiliate claim appears on the site.

The straightforward Plano choice. Pantera added Hyrox classes alongside its CrossFit programming, so the sleds, rowers, wall ball targets and open floor were already in the building. It publishes a three days for $3 trial covering both CrossFit and Hyrox, plus a free 15 minute intro with a coach. Best for Plano and Richardson athletes testing the water. panteracrossfit.com

What the race demands from a gym

Ignore the branding on the window and walk the floor. These are the six things the race tests.

• SkiErg. Station one, 1,000 meters, and the most commonly missing machine in American gyms. No SkiErg, no way to train the opening station.
• Sled push and sled pull. Not just a sled, but a surface and a lane long enough to use it. Hyrox runs 50 meters of pushing and 50 of pulling on turf. A sled on rubber matting in a short lane teaches the wrong friction.
• Rower. The easy one. Almost every functional gym in DFW has Concept2 rowers.
• Wall balls. Check the target heights. Men throw to 10 feet, women to 9. A single height is a problem.
• Sandbag lunges. A bag at your race weight and a lane long enough to walk 100 meters.
• Farmers carry. Kettlebells or dedicated handles, plus open floor.

The SkiErg and the sled lane eliminate most gyms. Ask about both on your tour, and ask whether members can use them outside class time.

Dallas adds a wrinkle no gym tour will bring up, and it is the heat. Your build for a November race runs through July, August and September, when afternoon highs sit near triple digits. That pushes the running half of your training into the dark before 6:00 AM or onto a treadmill, which makes indoor running space a real feature rather than a nice extra.

Training for Hyrox without a Hyrox gym

You do not need an affiliate to get race ready. What you need is a plan and a set of honest substitutes.

The runs: half the race is 8km of running. Use the Katy Trail, White Rock Lake or the Trinity levees at dawn, and stop feeling guilty about the treadmill in August. Heat acclimation is real, but so is heat stroke.

Sled push and pull: the best home substitute is a heavy sandbag drag on grass or turf using a strap, or a tire sled. Bear hug carries and short heavy walking intervals build the same quad and calf tolerance under a heart rate you cannot control.

SkiErg: no perfect substitute exists. Banded straight-arm pulldowns, heavy rope work, and rowing intervals get you close, but get on a real SkiErg a few times before race day.

Sandbag lunges: train these exactly as written, because you can. One bag at race weight covers this station and the farmers carry pattern, which makes it the highest return piece of equipment you can own for Hyrox, and why I built our line of training sandbags the way I did.

Wall balls: a medicine ball and a strip of tape on a wall at 9 or 10 feet.

Pair the substitutes with structure. Our Hyrox training plan lays out a beginner build week by week, and if you are racing elsewhere this season we have the same breakdown for Hyrox gyms in San Diego.

Frequently asked questions

Do you need a Hyrox affiliate gym to train for Hyrox in Dallas?

No. Affiliation gives a gym official programming and marketing rights, not a monopoly on results. What you need is access to a SkiErg and a sled at some point in your build, a plan that progresses compromised running, and consistency through a Texas summer. Where affiliation pays off here is early registration, because Dallas waves move fast.

When is the next Hyrox race in Dallas?

HYROX lists HYROX Dallas for November 18 to 22, 2026 on its official event page, at the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center, 650 South Griffin Street, Halls B and C. Five days covers singles, doubles, mixed doubles, pro, adaptive and relay divisions. Treat any start time you see elsewhere as unofficial until HYROX confirms it.

Which Dallas Hyrox gym is best for a total beginner?

Try the cheapest door first. Pantera CrossFit in Plano publishes a three days for $3 trial, and FTX Hybrid in Fort Worth gives the first class free. If you want a full program from day one, Hunger in the Wild runs a free consultation and tour, and GRIT Fitness built its prep program for people who have never raced.

How far out should I start training for Hyrox?

Twelve to sixteen weeks is the sweet spot for a first race if you already have a base of general fitness. Under six weeks, shift the goal from a time target to finishing well, and spend your sessions on the sled and the sandbag lunges, where undertrained athletes lose the most time. For November in Dallas, that means starting in the ugliest part of the summer. Whatever your window, schedule one full race simulation two to three weeks out.
