Pricing Your Hyrox Program: Six Models, Real Numbers, and the Margin Math

Most gyms price their Hyrox offering by looking at what the gym down the road charges and subtracting five dollars.

This is a bad method generally and a particularly bad method here, because Hyrox has a pricing characteristic that most gym services do not: the customer has already demonstrated willingness to pay for the outcome. They spent $50 to $90 on a race entry, plus travel, plus kit, and the typical committed Hyrox athlete spends somewhere in the range of £200 to £400 a year on the sport before they have paid a coach anything.

You are not selling them on the value of fitness. You are selling them on preparation for something they have already bought. That is a materially stronger position than a standard membership sale, and pricing it like a standard membership leaves money on the table.

Here are the six models that work, what each one is good at, and the math.

Model 1: Drop-in

Typical price: $25 to $45 per session.

What it is good at: capturing travelers, local athletes who train elsewhere, and people testing you before committing. Also the highest-margin single transaction you will run.

What it is bad at: everything else. Drop-in revenue is unpredictable, it creates no relationship, and a gym whose Hyrox revenue is mostly drop-ins has a traffic business rather than a program.

Use it as: a price anchor. The existence of a $40 drop-in makes a $20-per-session pack look like a genuine saving, which is most of what it is there for.

Model 2: The class pack

Typical structure: 30 sessions for $599, valid five months. That works out to roughly $20 a session.

What it is good at: cash up front, a psychologically sound discount against the drop-in anchor, and a long enough expiry that the customer does not feel rushed.

What it is bad at: commitment. Pack customers attend less than block customers, and unused sessions are a satisfaction problem even though they are revenue.

The math: two classes a week, eight athletes each, at $20 a session is $1,280 a month. That is the floor of what a small Hyrox program produces. Plenty of gyms run classes of 20 to 40, which changes the number substantially.

Watch: pack pricing invites comparison shopping because the per-session number is legible. If you are competing on a visible unit price you have chosen a hard game.

Model 3: The dated race-prep block

Typical price: $300 to $800 per athlete over eight to twelve weeks.

This is the best product in the Hyrox catalog and it should be the center of your offering.

Why it outperforms everything else:

It has a deadline you did not invent, which means the urgency is credible.

It has a finite scope, which means the customer knows exactly what they are buying and when it ends. Open-ended memberships require the customer to imagine the value. A twelve-week block against a named race does not.

It prices on outcome rather than access. Nobody computes the per-session cost of a race-prep block the way they compute the per-session cost of a class pack, because they are buying a result.

And it closes. Enrollment opens and enrollment shuts. That is real scarcity you can honor, which is worth more than manufactured urgency.

The math: twenty-four athletes at $500 is $12,000 for a twelve-week block. Run three blocks a year against three races and that is $36,000 from a product that uses equipment you already own, in hours you are already open, coached by staff you already employ.

The structural requirement: you have to actually cap it and actually close enrollment. A block you can join in week six is a class with a fancy name.

Model 4: The membership tier

Typical structure: your standard membership plus $40 to $80 a month for Hyrox access, or a standalone Hyrox membership at $150 to $220.

What it is good at: recurring revenue and attach rate. Gyms running this well report Hyrox attach rates around 43%, with one operator having roughly 120 of 280 members on the Hyrox offering, contributing about 40% of gym revenue.

The critical design decision: do not make Hyrox a free inclusion in your existing membership. It feels generous and it destroys the economics. The moment Hyrox is included, you cannot sell a block to your own members without them feeling double-charged, you cannot measure attach rate, and you have converted a premium product into a feature.

Make it a tier. Members who want it upgrade. Members who do not are unaffected.

Model 5: The Doubles rate

Typical structure: a pair rate at roughly 1.6 to 1.7x the individual rate.

Around 66% of Hyrox entries are Doubles, and most gyms price as though everyone competes alone.

The math, using a $450 block:

Structure	Customer pays	You receive
Two individual enrollments at full price	$900	$900, if you get both
One individual enrollment	$450	$450, which is the realistic outcome
Doubles rate at $750 per pair	$750	$750

The comparison that matters is the second row against the third. You were probably only ever getting one of them, because the partner was going to train at their own gym or at home. A $750 pair rate nets you 67% more revenue per enrollment and gives your customer a discount they can see.

This is the closest thing to a free lunch in gym pricing and it exists because of a structural fact about the sport that most operators have not built around. The full argument is in the Doubles article.

Model 6: The personal training attach

Typical price: $80 to $150 a session, sold in blocks of four to eight.

Hyrox is unusually good at selling personal training, for one specific reason: it produces a diagnosable weakness.

An athlete finishes a simulation in 1:47 and can see that their sled push split was in the bottom quartile and their run splits fell apart after station five. That is not a vague feeling about wanting to get fitter. It is a specific, measurable, fixable deficiency with a race date attached.

Gyms report using Hyrox as the entry point to introduce personal training to members who had never considered it, because the conversation is not “you should get a trainer,” it is “your sled is costing you four minutes and that is about three sessions of technique work.”

Sell the attach at the end of a simulation event, when the data is fresh and the race is close.

Stacking them: what a real revenue mix looks like

The models are not alternatives. They are a ladder, and the gyms doing well run most of them simultaneously.

A worked example for a gym with 280 members:

• Hyrox membership tier: 120 members at $60 a month upgrade = $7,200/month
• Race-prep blocks: three a year, 24 athletes, blended $520 with Doubles pricing = $37,440/year, or $3,120/month
• Simulation events: four a year, 100 attendees, $40 = $16,000/year, or $1,333/month
• Drop-ins and packs: $800/month
• PT attach: six athletes at four sessions a quarter at $110 = $10,560/year, or $880/month

Total: roughly $13,300 a month, or $160,000 a year.

That is consistent with the reported cases: gyms adding $80,000 to $100,000 a year on top of an existing membership base, and gyms where Hyrox contributes around 40% of total revenue. It is also achievable with two classes a week, equipment most functional gyms own, and an affiliation fee of roughly $130 a month.

The structural mistake that caps your revenue

There is one pricing decision that quietly limits almost every gym, and it is this: selling access instead of selling races.

A gym that sells Hyrox access has one product, one price, and a ceiling set by how many people will pay a monthly fee. A gym that sells races has an unlimited ladder, because the athlete who finished in 1:47 wants 1:40, then wants to try Pro weights, then wants a second race in the same season, then wants to bring their partner, then wants to qualify.

Every rung on that ladder is a new purchase with a new deadline. You do not have to invent a single one of them. The sport produces them automatically, forever, as long as you are positioned as the place where people train for races rather than the place that has a Hyrox class.

Price accordingly. Your best customer is not the one paying $60 a month. It is the one who has done four blocks, two simulation events, and a PT package, and has already asked when you are opening enrollment for the next race.

Three practical rules

Never publish a price without a date. “Hyrox training, $60/month” is a commodity. “Twelve-week prep for Hyrox Chicago, starts January 12, 24 spots, $495” is an offer.

Always have a pair price. Two thirds of the market races in pairs.

Charge for the on-ramp. Free taster sessions have terrible show rates. A $20 or $30 four-session on-ramp attracts people who intend to show up, and the price is low enough that it is not a real barrier. Counterintuitive, consistently true.
