The next 12 Labours Specialty Class, Hyrox, will begin the Week of January 6 when it will be back on the schedule twice a week at both home districts! We are starting this specialty program 12 weeks out from Hyrox D.C., so it will be the perfect way to train for that race, in addition to improving your engine for any other fitness endeavor. 12 Week Program Dates Start Date: Week of 1/6 End Date: Week of 3/24 Annapolis District Tuesdays at 5:30PM - Coach Mel Thursdays at 5:30PM - Coach Mel Columbia District Mondays at 5:30PM - Coach Paul E. Fridays at 6:30PM - Coach Paul E. Hyrox is included in your 12 Labours membership and all you need to do is reserve your spot in Wodify like any other class. There will be no Open Gym during Hyrox classes. Hyrox Methodology Do you feel like you only have one speed in your workouts? Maybe you feel unsure about how to approach different WOD’s in order to get the most out of them? Endure x Hyrox will help you understand how to meet the demands of different lengths and styles of workouts and how to best sustain your energy throughout your efforts. It will teach you how to tap into and utilize the different “gears” of your engine so that you can endure. Expect to see running, machines, and technically simple movements with your bodyweight, kettlebells, dumbbells, and sleds- all with the intent of keeping you moving and increasing your aerobic capacity.
