Inverness Leisure Centre sees over 70 competitors take part in High Life Highland Hyrox Simulation (Sim) event
ATHLETES pushed themselves to the limit as what was described as the ultimate fitness race took place in Inverness.
Over 70 competitors took part at the High Life Highland Hyrox Simulation (Sim) Event at Inverness Leisure on Saturday.
A special fit out of Studio 3 at Inverness Leisure was recently carried out in order to expand the highlife Hyrox offering.
As a result there are now 10 Hyrox training classes per week, with 40 spaces in each class at Inverness Leisure alone.
Hyrox resembles traditional circuit training with the objective being to build baseline fitness in participants covering strength, endurance, aerobic capacity, agility and skill work.
Leisure Manager Ross Dudgeon said: “Our first Hyrox Sim was a massive success with all our participants really going for it and enjoying the challenge of a timed event, designed to feel like a real Hyrox race.
“Our Hyrox training sessions at Inverness Leisure are proving really popular – there is a real buzz around these sessions – and we look forward to hosting another Sim event in the near future.”
