How to Run Your First HYROX Competition in Your Gym

HYROX is everywhere right now, and your gym doesn’t necessarily have to become an affiliate to cash in on the trend.

In this episode of “Run a Profitable Gym,” Two-Brain Business CEO John Franklin breaks down the “mini sim,” a scaled-down HYROX-style competition any gym can run without paying affiliation fees or buying new equipment.

John walks through the exact blueprint: cutting the running volume, running it as a doubles event to build in referrals and setting a financial target (Two-Brain gyms have made $2,500-$6,000 from their first event).

He covers the week-by-week promotion plan, including real examples of gym posts that sold out events fast.

He also details race-day logistics (staffing, heats, avoiding bottlenecks) and how to turn one-time event revenue into new recurring members.

Tune in to get a complete playbook for running your first HYROX-style event and building an ongoing program members love.
