If you're grinding 5–6 sessions a week and your race time keeps landing within a minute of your last one, the problem isn't your effort. It's the plan. Here's how the Fort Worth gym that's put athletes at every HYROX World Championship since 2022 fixes it.
Most athletes who walk into our gym have already been working hard for months — a big-box membership, a downloaded plan, a bootcamp habit. Effort was never their problem. Here's what actually was.
We've published the full breakdown of where HYROX race time actually lives — the runs, the stations, the transitions — on our HYROX Online program page. In Fort Worth, you don't just read it. You train it, in a room full of people running the same build, with a coach watching every session.
No stock photos, no models — this is the actual room, the actual team, and the actual training you'll walk into.
FTX has had athletes on the floor at every HYROX World Championship since 2022 — 20 Worlds qualifiers and 52 podium finishes, built in this room. This season alone: 15 podiums by 14 different athletes, and 10 athletes at Worlds in Stockholm.

Talon Smith has raced HYROX more than 50 times, qualified for the World Championships five times, and built FTX — an Official HYROX Training Partner — around a protocol, not a class schedule. The results speak: 20 Worlds qualifiers, 52 podium finishes, and FTX athletes on the floor at every World Championship since 2022.

Anyone can throw wall balls and a ski erg into a circuit — plenty of gyms in DFW do. The reason FTX keeps producing qualifiers and podiums comes down to three principles we coach in the room, every single day.
Over half the race is running, so most of your training builds the aerobic base that holds pace late. In class that means real erg volume and easy work at prescribed effort — with a coach making sure easy actually stays easy.
The most common mistake in this sport is living in the gray middle zone. Every FTX class has a lane — base, threshold, or race-specific — and the coach holds you to it, even when your ego wants to push.
The race never lets you run fresh. Our floor is set up for station-into-run work — sleds into runs, wall balls into runs — trained weekly at prescribed paces, not left to chance.
How this gets dosed — to your goal, your schedule, your race date — is the coaching. That happens in the room at Camp Bowie, not on a web page.
Same athlete, same weekly hours, same effort — one season of in-person coaching apart.
Come take one class with the team that's been on the floor at every HYROX World Championship since 2022. If it's not the best session you've had all year, walk away — no pitch, no pressure. Stay, and membership is month-to-month.
Can't make it to Fort Worth? FTX Online is the same protocol, coached remotely — built for wherever you are.
No fitness test, no sales tour, no getting thrown to the wolves. Here's exactly how your first hour at 6775 Camp Bowie Blvd goes.
Park in the lot off Camp Bowie, walk in, and ask for the coach. We'll get your waiver signed, hear your goal and your race if you have one, and introduce you to the class.
Every class opens with a coached warm-up built for that day's work. You won't be guessing in a corner — you're moving with the group from minute one.
Same session as everyone else, dosed to your level. Sleds, ergs, wall balls, runs — the coach sets your loads and paces so you finish worked, not wrecked.
We've got the rest. After class, if you want a plan for your next race, we'll talk. If not, no pitch — you're welcome back either way.
Eight guides on how a HYROX is actually won — the stations, pacing, compromised running and race day. Free, no email required.
