Answer: Follow the 3-step formula — define the core stations, choose space-saving flooring and equipment, and plan an efficient layout.
Even with limited square meters, you can build a full-function Hyrox training area by focusing on the essential exercises, using multifunctional turf lanes, and optimizing your layout. This approach saves rent, improves efficiency, and still delivers a professional competition feel.
1. Identify the Core Hyrox Stations
Answer: Focus on the eight official Hyrox exercises but scale the distances and areas to your available space.
Exercise | Standard Space | Small-Space Adjustment | Typ podłogi |
---|---|---|---|
Sled Push | 10–15 m lane | 6–8 m lane (double reps) | Sztuczna murawa |
Sled Pull | 10–15 m lane | 6–8 m lane | Sztuczna murawa |
Kule ścienne | 2–3 m² | Same | Podłogi gumowe |
SkiErg | 1.5–2 m² | Same | Rubber/EVA Mat |
Wioślarstwo | 1.5–2 m² | Same | Rubber/EVA Mat |
Running | 1 lap track | Shuttle sprints | Turf/Rubber |
I recommend turf with 13–15mm pile height, dense stitch rateoraz reinforced latex backing to handle sled push friction in short lanes.
2. Plan a Space-Saving Layout
Answer: Use linear or circular layouts to reduce wasted space.
Layout Options
Layout Type | How It Works | Najlepsze dla |
---|---|---|
Linear | Place machines & racks along walls, keep center free for turf lane | Narrow gyms |
Circular | Arrange stations in a loop for continuous flow | Group training |
Hybrid | Fixed turf lane + movable stations | Flexible use |
Pro Tip: In small gyms (under 60 m²), a 6 m turf lane can double as a sled track, sprint zone, and warm-up area.
3. Choose Flooring and Equipment Wisely
Answer: Use hybrid flooring — turf for functional work, rubber for strength, EVA mats for cardio zones.
Flooring Recommendations
Strefa | Typ powierzchni | Specyfikacja | Cost Range (USD/m²) |
---|---|---|---|
Turf Lane | Sztuczna murawa | 13–15mm, 2,400–3,000 g/m² | $30–$55 |
Siła | Płytki gumowe | 15–20mm | $20–$40 |
Cardio | EVA or Rubber Mat | 8–10mm | $10–$25 |
Wybierz compact, multifunctional equipment: foldable sleds, adjustable benches, wall-mounted racks. This reduces clutter and maximizes movement space.
4. Maximize Every Square Meter
Answer: Use vertical space, mobile gear, and modular setups.
Technika | Przykład |
---|---|
Vertical Storage | Wall racks for balls, bands, bars |
Mobile Gear | Wheeled sleds, foldable squat stands |
Modular Markings | Replaceable turf lane decals |
Visual Expansion | Mirrors to make the space feel bigger |
In my projects, vertical storage alone frees up 15–20% more floor space, making short turf lanes possible in tight gyms.
5. Safety and User Experience
Answer: Keep traffic flow clear, surfaces stable, and atmosphere motivating.
Współczynnik bezpieczeństwa | Wdrożenie |
---|---|
Pathways | Minimum 1 m clearance between zones |
Equipment Check | Monthly inspection, especially turf seams |
Training Flow | Avoid overlapping running/sled paths |
Atmosphere | Bright LED lighting, upbeat music, signage |
I design turf seams with hidden joint tape to prevent tripping hazards and maintain smooth sled movement.
6. Sample 40 m² Hyrox Layout Plan
Answer: This is a real-world example I’ve implemented for a client.
Strefa | Rozmiar | Podłogi |
---|---|---|
Turf Lane | 6×2 m | Sztuczna murawa |
Siła | 12 m² | Guma |
Cardio | 6 m² | EVA |
Free Space | 10 m² | Guma |
Result: Full Hyrox functionality in a space smaller than a one-car garage.
Wnioski
With smart station selection, hybrid flooring, and efficient layout, you can run full Hyrox training in even the smallest gym.
