The fitness race HYROX uses standardised weights across events worldwide. Whether you race in London, New York or Singapore – the weights are identical in each division.

Whether you compete in Single Open, Pro Division, Doubles or Relay, the weights in HYROX remain consistent, meaning you know exactly what to expect on race day – at least when it comes to the weights you’ll be pushing, pulling, carrying and throwing. This global fitness race, split into eight 1km runs and eight exercise stations, uses the same standardized weights at events worldwide, depending on the category you enter.
Here's a full breakdown of the standard weights used across the categories.
01
HYROX weights explained: Open, Pro, Doubles and Relay
The exact weights you’ll face in HYROX depend on several factors: your division (Open or Pro), your gender and whether you’re competing as an individual, in Doubles or in a Relay team. In general, the Open division uses entry-level weights, while the Pro division features heavier loads – the Elite 15 athletes use the same weights as the Pro category. In Doubles, where athletes like Lucy Procter also compete, the workload is shared between two athletes, and in the Relay, all stations use Open division weights.

The Pro division is for experienced athletes aiming for competitive race times. The weights are significantly heavier, especially on the sled push and sled pull as well as wall balls.
Elite 15 athletes, like the UK's Jake Dearden, use the same weights as the Pro division – but be careful comparing your race to the Elite 15 races, as they take place under slightly different circumstances: There are no other divisions racing on the course, making it easier to overtake.
