Peloton Launches 12-Week Hyrox Training Program Just in Time for NYC Races

Peloton is making waves in the fitness world with the launch of its new 12-week Hyrox training program, perfectly timed for athletes gearing up for the upcoming Hyrox NYC events from May 28-31 and June 4-7, 2026. But here’s the kicker: even if you’re not racing in New York, you can still join the program! It’s available in Peloton’s library for all members, meaning you can start it 12 weeks out from any Hyrox event on your calendar. This move is a game-changer for fitness enthusiasts looking to tackle the hybrid challenge of Hyrox.

What is Hyrox, anyway?

Before we dive into the program, let’s break down what Hyrox is for those who might be new to the scene. As my colleague Beth Skwarecki explains, Hyrox is a fitness competition that’s taking the world by storm. Think of it as the ultimate test for those who don’t quite see themselves as pure endurance athletes or pure strength athletes, but something in between. Unofficially short for “hybrid rockstar,” Hyrox is designed for athletes who thrive on variety and challenge.

What makes Hyrox unique—and uniquely appealing—is its consistency. Unlike Crossfit competitions, where the format can change dramatically from event to event, every single Hyrox race follows the same predictable structure: eight 1-kilometer runs, with a functional fitness station in between each one. These stations include things like sled pushes, wall balls, rowing, and ski erg work, adding up to roughly 5 miles of running plus eight rounds of serious effort. Because the format never changes, you can compare your finish time against anyone else who has ever raced Hyrox, much like comparing marathon times.

But one thing that sets Hyrox training apart from something like classic marathon prep is that it’s inherently communal. While you can train for a race on your own with nothing but a good pair of shoes, Hyrox training requires access to a rowing machine, a ski erg, a sled, and a wall ball target—in other words, the sort of equipment that’s hard to come by outside of gyms geared toward this kind of training. That shared training environment tends to foster a community that athletes say is a big part of the draw.

What Peloton’s Hyrox program offers

Peloton’s new 12-week program is structured around six training days per week, with many days including both a strength and a run component. Classes include strength, running, rowing, tread bootcamps, mobility and stretching, and meditation. As a regular ol’ race runner myself, I’m drawn to the ways these classes cover so many different disciplines.

The program is grounded in five core principles that Peloton describes as the five pillars of Hyrox performance:

• Aerobic Power: Threshold work starts on Day 1, teaching athletes how to manage effort and develop sustainable high gears over time.
• Simple Tools, High Impact: The program leans on running, the erg, and strength training as its primary vehicles for building hybrid endurance.
• Efficiency Over Speed: Rather than chasing raw pace, the focus is on smart pacing and clean technique that conserves energy across transitions.
• Progressive Volume: Training load builds deliberately over the weeks, developing the ability to perform under cumulative fatigue.
• Performance Drivers: Recovery, fueling, and mindset are treated as training components, not afterthoughts.

Taking a look at the program, its structure reflects these principles in a clear arc. The first six weeks focus on building what Peloton calls the “aerobic engine” and establishing threshold control, laying the foundation before intensity picks up. By Week 7, athletes complete a 75-minute simulation designed to test their pacing strategy and transition skills under realistic race conditions. The final weeks then shift toward what the program describes as “real demand” training, simulating the fatigue carryover of heavy sled pushes and wall balls bleeding into running. Like with any good training program, the goal is to arrive at race day sharp and well-prepared, not worn down.

How to join the Peloton Hyrox training program

Needless to say, you need an active Peloton membership. And for now, the Hyrox program can only be joined from the Peloton app or Peloton hardware like the Peloton Bikes, Tread, Row, and Guide. You can’t join from the Peloton website or TV apps. To find it on your device, you can browse the programs area, find the Hyrox Training program, and hit join.
