Every HYROX athlete knows the race is won in training. But without a standardised way to measure strengths and weaknesses, coaches and athletes are left guessing which areas need the most work. That is where the HYROX Conditioning Test powered by Output comes in.

Developed in partnership between HYROX and Output Sports, the HYROX Conditioning Test (HCT) is a structured fitness assessment designed to mirror the demands of a HYROX race. It evaluates athletes across endurance, muscular stamina, and functional capacity – then distils the results into a single, comparable Hyrox Score.

For gym owners and coaches, the HCT is a powerful tool to attract and retain members, differentiate services, and deliver measurable performance outcomes. For athletes, it provides a clear, repeatable benchmark to track progress over time.

Output Sports offers three tiers of access through the HYROX partnership, each designed to meet gyms and athletes where they are – and help them get to where they want to be. No matter which tier you start with, the path to deeper insights and better results is always open.

Compete is the entry point for any gym looking to bring structured HYROX performance testing to their members. There is no cost and no sensor hardware required – just sign up through the HYROX Performance Hub and start running the Hyrox Conditioning Test.

With Compete, coaches can create athlete profiles on the Output platform, run the full HCT protocol, results are delivered instantly through the Output Capture app, giving athletes a shareable snapshot of their race readiness.

Testing days are one of the most effective ways to drive member engagement and attract new clients. A structured fitness assessment gives your gym a credible, repeatable event that members talk about and come back for. The Hyrox Score becomes a conversation starter – for coach programming, on the gym floor and in your marketing.

Advance is designed for gyms that want to do more than run the HCT – they want to track, compare, and engage. Building on everything in Compete, Advance adds the tools coaches need to turn one-off testing sessions into an ongoing performance programme layered in with HYROX Challenges and non-sensor tests.

Retesting is central to Advance. Coaches can retest athletes over time and see exactly how scores and results are trending. Dashboards surface performance data in visual reports that are easy for coaches to interpret and compelling for athletes to keep improving.

Leaderboards bring a competitive edge to your gym. Whether displayed on a screen during a testing workshop or shared digitally, leaderboards drive motivation and foster the kind of community that keeps members coming back. Coaches can also run monthly challenges – think most unbroken wall balls or longest burpee broad jump – to maintain engagement between formal test days.

Advance gives you the tools to create a data-driven training community where members see their progress, compete with peers, and stay accountable. That translates directly into lower churn and higher lifetime value.

What coaches get: everything in Compete, plus retesting and trend tracking, automated performance dashboards, visual reports, leaderboards, custom test inputs, standardised HYROX workouts, and the ability to run in-house monthly community challenges.

Elite is the full Output Sports experience, purpose-built for gyms that want to deliver the most advanced performance insights to their everyday HYROX athlete. It adds Output’s IMU sensor technology to unlock an entirely new dimension of athlete data.

With Elite, coaches move beyond manual inputs into objective, real-time measurement. Velocity-based training (VBT) data allows coaches to prescribe loads based on actual bar speed rather than estimated percentages, making every rep more precise and every session more effective focusing on HYROX performance.

Athlete readiness assessments provide actionable insights before training even begins, helping coaches make smarter programming decisions.

Elite also unlocks full programming capabilities. For gyms running multiple classes or managing large rosters, this removes operational bottlenecks and allows coaches to scale their impact across more athletes.

Sensor-powered training is the clearest differentiator you can offer. In a market where most gyms compete on price or atmosphere, Elite positions your facility as a genuine performance centre. The depth of data and the quality of insights you can deliver to athletes ensure continued objective tracking to ensure they are improving week on week towards their fitness goals.

What coaches get: everything in Advance, plus Output Sports IMU sensor integration, velocity-based training, athlete readiness assessments, sensor-powered HYROX training workouts, multi-group management, additional coach access, unlimited workouts and custom tests, and full strength and power programming tools.

Each tier is designed to build naturally on the last. You can start with Compete to validate the concept with your members, move to Advance when you are ready to build a performance community, and upgrade to Elite when you want to offer the most advanced training experience available to your community.
