Who Adrian works with
Adrian coaches people who have entered a HYROX race and people who are still thinking about one. He also works with athletes who have no race on the calendar yet and want to build first. Pairs can train together. Some athletes train alone with a plan, and others train in a small group.
How Adrian works
Every plan is built backwards from the athlete's race date over twelve weeks. Strength and engine are trained together, since the course tests both. Programming is written from test scores and delivered through the Everfit app. Online athletes get a weekly check-in, unlimited messaging and video technique review, and the week is rewritten around what they actually did. In-person athletes train in a group of twelve at most, with three coached sessions a week.
