HYROX training north of Toronto.
THE YARD is a dedicated HYROX training space at J17 Fitness in Richmond Hill, north of Toronto, with a sled track, turf run, SkiErgs, rowers, air runners and squat racks.
The machines the race actually uses, built to spec — so the first time you see a station isn’t on race day.
What is HYROX?
HYROX is a fitness race: eight one-kilometre runs, each followed by a workout station, in the same order at every event worldwide. The average finish time is around ninety minutes.
Because the format never changes, you can train the exact race instead of a guess at it. That’s what THE YARD is for.

HYROX training questions.
Where can I train for HYROX near Toronto?
J17 Fitness has a dedicated HYROX training space, THE YARD, at its Richmond Hill club at Leslie and 16th — about thirty minutes north of downtown Toronto, off the 404 and 407, with free parking.
Do I need to be racing to train here?
No. Most people training in THE YARD never enter a race. Hybrid conditioning — running plus carrying, pushing and pulling — is useful whether or not you compete.
What equipment does HYROX training need?
A ski erg, rower, sled and track, turf for running and lunges, plus wall balls, sandbags and kettlebells. THE YARD has the machines and the space; the format is coached so you use them in race order.
How do I start if I’ve never done HYROX?
Start with a coached session in THE YARD. You’ll go through the stations at your own pace before anyone talks about race day, and your splits go into the Performance Index™ so you can see where you actually are.
