Hyrox Photo: VCGFrom fewer than 1,700 participants at its first Beijing event to around 12,000 in a recent Shenzhen event, Hyrox is rapidly becoming one of China's newest fitness crazes.
Over the weekend, participants from across China packed the Shenzhen World Exhibition and Convention Center for the German fitness race, according to HYRESULT, a platform that tracks Hyrox race results. The event was one of the Chinese stops of the 2026-27 Hyrox season.
Originating in Hamburg, Germany, in 2017, Hyrox was designed as a fitness competition for gym-goers. It combines eight 1-kilometer runs with eight functional workout stations, including sled pushes, indoor rowing, burpees, farmer's carries and wall balls.
Pronounced "high‑rocks", the brand has never formally disclosed where its name originates. Yet it is widely understood to be a portmanteau blending "hybrid" and "rockstar", a nod to the mix of endurance and raw strength demanded by its race format.
Hyrox has experienced remarkable growth in Europe and the US, with some events attracting over 50,000 athletes and 35,000 spectators. After entering the Chinese market in 2024, the sport has expanded rapidly, with more than 500 affiliated gyms now operating in the Chinese mainland, according to the Xinhua News Agency.
This rapid growth reflects Hyrox's appeal as something more than a workout. By combining standardized physical challenges with competition, measurable results and group training, the sport has turned fitness into a social experience for a growing number of young Chinese professionals.
A fitness enthusiast surnamed Zhang who competed in the Shenzhen race for the first time is one of them.
Before the event, he trained about five times a week, with sessions including sled pushes, indoor rowing and running. He also maintained a daily 5-kilometer running routine.
He entered the "open" category and finished in about 2 hours. For him, however, the result was only part of the experience.
"It is not only about seeing what I have achieved through fitness," he told the Global Times. "Seeing so many disciplined people training and competing together gives you a sense of belonging."
That sense of community is becoming a defining feature of Hyrox in China, where a growing number of young people in major cities are swapping the couch for the gym.
Guo Xin, a sports commentator in Beijing, told the Global Times, "In the past, many people went to the gym to lift weights or run, but their goals could be relatively vague. Hyrox gives them a clear challenge: finish the race and improve their time."
For people who may find it difficult to make new friends after entering the workforce, training together also offers a natural way to build new social circles.
That structure is particularly appealing to young people who want exercise to be both purposeful and social, Guo said.
Many participants train in groups, sharing workout plans, encouraging one another and meeting outside the gym.
According to Xinhua, Shanghai-based IT professional Zhang Lin, 27, said she initially signed up simply to join the fun. What kept her returning was her training group, where people from different professions trained together, talked about races and had meals on weekends.
The sport has also found a natural home on Chinese social media.
Training check-ins, race-day crowds, finish-line celebrations and photographs of exhausted competitors are easily turned into shareable content. The popular phrase "pay to suffer" has become something of a rallying cry among Hyrox participants, capturing the willingness of young people to spend money to put themselves through an intense physical challenge.
"The atmosphere of the competition, the ritual of crossing the finish line and hitting the gong, and training check-ins are all easy to share on social media," Guo said. "The process of working hard and then seeing the result is itself very infectious."
For many participants, the appeal is not necessarily about winning.
The global ranking system gives amateur athletes a way to see how their performances compare with others around the world, while still allowing them to focus on personal improvement.
The rapid expansion of Hyrox has also attracted attention from China's sports industry. But Wang Dazhao, a sports commentator, cautioned that even though Hyrox has successfully tapped into young people's demand for fitness and social connection, it is ultimately a commercial sports business.
Its long-term development in China remains to be seen, he said.
There are also safety considerations as the sport attracts newcomers. Although Hyrox promotes itself as a competition "for everybody," the races involve sustained high-intensity exercise and can place considerable demand on the cardiovascular system and muscles.
Pacing is key to competing in Hyrox. For recreational athletes who do not exercise regularly, pushing too hard from the start in pursuit of a fast time can carry significant risks. Elite athletes chasing records also face heightened risks as they push their physical limits.
Guo advised beginners to build a basic fitness foundation before chasing race times, gradually improving their running ability, core strength and lower-body strength.
Participants should also pay attention to warm-ups and recovery, particularly around the knees and lower back, and familiarize themselves with the proper form for exercises such as sled pushes and wall balls.
。无论菲组织侵闯黄岩岛船队的实际规模有多大，中国海警已在黄岩岛海域严阵以待。

《环球时报》14日头版曾刊登报道，起底菲“这是我们的”组织。这个所谓的“民间组织”其实常年受美方机构资助，在南海议题上兴风作浪，并试图影响菲政府的南海政策。该组织此次直接登场作秀，更是暴露出美国正在加大干涉南海问题的力度，怂恿菲方朝着对抗的方向“踩油门”。
《纽约时报》15日称，“这是我们的”组织的行动打破中国对黄岩岛控制的机会“似乎很小”。在菲律宾船队当天出发之前，中国就向该地区部署了“数十艘”海警船和“海上民兵船只”，呈现出“压倒性的力量”。《纽约时报》还引述分析人士的话模拟场景称：如果中国海警决定要发出“我们已经受够了”的信息，可能用水炮打击菲船只。
路透社15日称，菲律宾海岸警卫队已派出3艘舰船，以保护驶往黄岩岛的船队。报道称，“这是我们的”组织去年12月曾组织过一次类似行动，为“坐滩”仁爱礁的菲军人运送物资，但由于其所称的“被中方船只跟踪”而缩短行程。
中国外交部发言人汪文斌15日表示，黄岩岛是中国固有领土，中国对黄岩岛及其附近海域拥有无可争辩的主权。中方2016年就菲律宾少量小型渔船在黄岩岛附近海域正常捕鱼活动作出善意安排，同时依法对菲渔民相关活动进行管理和监督。如菲方滥用中方善意，侵犯中国领土主权和管辖权，中方将依法维权反制，相关责任和后果完全由菲方承担。
根据中菲2016年达成的临时特别安排，菲律宾渔船可以在黄岩岛附近进行捕捞活动，但不得进入黄岩岛潟湖或进行可能污染或破坏该岛的活动。《环球时报》记者13日获得的一组独家视频显示，近日，一群菲律宾渔民非法登陆黄岩岛进行捕鱼活动，其间不仅有随地吐痰、随地大小便等不文明行为，还产生和倾倒污染物、海上生活垃圾。
杨霄表示，菲律宾政府出于窃取他国领土的图谋，将一艘破旧不堪的军用船只非法“坐滩”在美丽的南海礁石上，并持续25年不履行承诺拖离，也就无法、无能力进行船只环保维护和船上排污处理，将大量自然发生和人为制造的污染物直接排入周边礁石和海域中，是极其不负责任和反文明的行为。
菲律宾智库“人民良政”中心主任鲍比·图阿松（Bobby M.Tuazon）日前接受《环球时报》记者采访时表示，当前菲中关系紧张升级有三方面因素：首先，菲总统马科斯是美国的铁杆盟友，利用与美国的防务联盟来对付中国；其次，军方在菲律宾政治中的话语权颇大，“由于历史渊源，菲律宾武装部队及国防部实际上都是美国的工具，甚至在某种程度上是‘美国代理军队’，而菲武装部队在菲律宾政治架构中的实力非常强大，总统也需要通过划拨大量预算经费支持其与美军的联系。”第三，菲总统受到了美国“捐赠不再使用的旧船和旧驱逐舰的诱惑”，这些旧舰艇被作为“礼物”送给菲律宾海军和海岸警卫队。此外，每年都有很多菲律宾初级军官获得奖学金，在美国某些军事部门参加特殊训练。
在采访中，图阿松对《环球时报》记者反复提及，菲中两国于2017年曾建立南海问题双边磋商机制，双方应该通过该机制解决争端。然而，马科斯并未用好这一机制，而是以牺牲外交为代价，利用与美国的防务合作来对付中国。图阿松说：“美国不希望与中国发生任何（直接）战争，而更喜欢通过菲律宾等国搞代理人战争。这很危险。一旦发生这种情况，菲律宾将输掉战争，美国却会很高兴。许多菲律宾人没有意识到他们的国家正在被总统出卖。”
