HYROX workouts are now taking place in Riga, and the LEMON GYM club at AKROPOLE is a great place to train regularly for this rapidly growing and popular competition format. HYROX combines two beloved sports disciplines – running and functional fitness – offering a unique approach and embodying the “hybrid athlete” concept.


While similar competitions have existed before, such as triathlons, Spartan or OCR races, and CrossFit competitions, HYROX stands out with its simple structure: functional exercises alternate with running segments. This makes HYROX accessible to everyone, regardless of fitness level. Participants compete in different age categories, and beginners can safely choose the duo or 4-person relay format. This democratic approach is one reason why HYROX is rapidly gaining popularity worldwide. The most ambitious HYROX goal is to be included in the program of the 2030 Summer Olympic Games.
HYROX Community in Latvia
HYROX competitions in Riga attract participants not only from Latvia but also from Lithuania and Estonia, and the number of participants grows every year. Interest is enormous, and training opportunities are expanding – gyms are creating specially equipped zones for HYROX workouts. In Latvia, one such place is currently LEMON GYM AKROPOLE, which offers a fully equipped training zone to prepare for competitions.



The demand for HYROX workouts continues to grow, as confirmed by one of LEMON GYM’s specialized HYROX trainers, Dāvids Ošs-Lācis:
“I believe that specialized HYROX zones and including group workouts in the regular schedule will promote the development of this discipline and the growth of the community. Athletes will have access to a well-equipped training environment, while club members can develop endurance and strength under professional, certified trainers.”
LEMON GYM is confident that HYROX group workouts will inspire more people to participate in HYROX competitions. As trainer Dāvids Ošs-Lācis notes, HYROX is exciting because progress can be felt very quickly – after a short preparation period, results improve significantly. There is no age limit for competitions.
