Kettlebell HYROX Workout
One or two kettlebells cover four of the eight HYROX stations well enough to train them properly: swings for the hinge, front rack carries for the sandbag, suitcase carries for the farmers, goblet squats for the wall ball. Built for a garage, a hotel gym, or a corner of a busy commercial floor.

Coaching notes
- Two bells beat one. A 24kg and a 32kg cover almost every rep scheme a HYROX athlete needs.
- Swings train the hinge that makes the sled pull efficient. If your sled pull is slow, add a second swing session per week.
- Grip is the hidden limiter here. If the suitcase carry ends your set before your legs do, that is your farmers carry time in preview.
