HYROX Event Essentials: Gear, Layout and Planning Tips
Hosting a HYROX-style event requires more than just space. It demands carefully selected equipment, smart planning and a layout that reflects official standards. From functional fitness gear to flooring solutions, every detail contributes to athlete performance and the overall event experience.
At BLK BOX, we have developed a Competition Collection that is built to meet HYROX standards, ensuring consistency, durability and professionalism at every stage. Whether you are running a full-scale event, setting up in-house simulations or creating a dedicated competition zone in your facility, these essentials will help you deliver.
Essential Competition Equipment
The right equipment ensures athletes can train and compete to exact standards. BLK BOX’s Competition Collection has been designed with HYROX in mind, combining accuracy, durability and smart storage.
-
Wall Mounted Competition Station – Keeps your space tidy and organised with four storage tiers and integrated wall ball targets at official competition height. With shelving available in 1.2m, 1.5m or 1.8m widths and up to 4 bays, this unit can be customised to suit your facility.
-
10 Bay Free Standing Competition Rig – A versatile setup with dual wall ball targets at men’s (10ft) and women’s (9ft) competition heights. Its free-standing frame removes the need for wall mounting, making it ideal for flexible event layouts.
-
Competition Wall Ball Targets – Available in both wall-mounted and rig-mounted versions, these ensure training and competition standards are met with precision and consistency.
-
Competition Sled – Built for heavy-duty use, this is essential for the sled push and pull.

Agility Turf for HYROX Layouts
No HYROX-style event is complete without the right flooring. Our Agility Turf is built to withstand the intensity of sled pushes and sled pulls, while providing a professional surface for event layouts.

Custom branding options available, helping facilities and event organisers create a professional, standout look.

Ideal for marking lanes, distances and zones, ensuring athletes can navigate stations efficiently.
Planning the Event Layout
The flow of a HYROX-style event is just as important as the equipment itself. A well-designed layout helps athletes transition smoothly between stations and creates a spectator-friendly environment.
Key tips for layout planning:
-
Replicate competition standards – Position wall ball targets, sled lanes and running areas to mirror official formats.
-
Maximise space efficiency – Use wall-mounted storage to keep kit organised and floor space clear.
-
Prioritise athlete flow – Arrange stations in a logical sequence that mirrors competition order, minimising bottlenecks.
-
Consider branding and presentation – Custom-branded equipment and flooring elevate the professionalism of your event.
