Edinburgh’s first Hyrox event to take place in the city
Edinburgh Leisure, the biggest sports and leisure provider across the city, is set to run their first Hyrox Simulation event.
The Edinburgh Hyrox Simulation event will take place on Sunday, 16th February at Evolve Gym at Meadowbank Sports Centre. Running as an indoor event, from 10am to 2 pm, it will consist of eight stations, starting in waves every 10 minutes.
Open to both members of Evolve and non-members, with only 50 spaces available, it is likely that places will sell quickly. Evolve members have priority booking.
Edinburgh Leisure has revolutionised the fitness arena with the opening of its new hybrid gym and official Hyrox Affiliate Training Club in Edinburgh in October 2024.
The global phenomenon of Hyrox, the fitness competition that’s sweeping the globe, has played a part in the increasing popularity of hybrid training, and Edinburgh Leisure was the first Scottish leisure trust affiliated with Hyrox, which has classes for those new to Hyrox as well as for experienced Hyroxers and fitness enthusiasts.
Ally Strachan, Fitness Development Manager at Edinburgh Leisure said: “This is an exciting development in Edinburgh Leisure’s fitness offering and the first of what we hope will be regular events, giving the opportunity for Hyroxers in the city to experience a race simulation on home turf, and in preparation for taking part in other Hyrox races across the globe.
“A simulation event is a great training event that can be used to prepare for a full event or to perform a full event when there isn’t an official Hyrox event scheduled. It allows clubs, like us, to generate interest for the members and a chance to do the event without the need to battle for tickets or pay the costs of a full event. With the added benefit of being on home-turf, it gives people the opportunity for competing in familiar surroundings alongside other members they are more likely to know.”
