MOVATI Athletic adds four HYROX clubs

MOVATI Athletic said on June 1 that four more of its Ontario gyms have been designated Certified HYROX Training Clubs, extending the fitness chain’s partnership with the race brand as HYROX expands its training footprint in Canada. The newly certified clubs are in Mississauga, Richmond Hill, Burlington and Guelph, according to a company post published Monday. The additions bring MOVATI’s total number of HYROX Training Clubs in Ontario to nine after five Ottawa locations were certified earlier this year. HYROX’s own club-finder describes accredited training clubs as affiliated facilities that can market services using the HYROX brand. ### Which MOVATI clubs were added this week? The four new clubs are Mississauga, Richmond Hill, Burlington and Guelph, MOVATI said in its June 1 announcement. The company called the designations a milestone for its network ahead of HYROX Toronto 2026. Ontario is the focus of the rollout so far. MOVATI’s locations page lists clubs across Ontario and Alberta, while the new HYROX certifications named only Ontario sites in this round.

Five Ottawa clubs were already certified in late December, with MOVATI saying those sites became HYROX Training Clubs ahead of HYROX Ottawa on May 16-17, 2026. (movatiathletic.com) With the four newly added sites, the company now has nine HYROX Training Clubs in Ontario. MOVATI describes itself as a privately held company with 18 locations across Ontario and Alberta and says it is marking 29 years in 2026. (movatiathletic.com) That means half of its club base is now part of the HYROX training network, based on the company’s published counts. ### What does “Certified HYROX Training Club” mean in practice? HYROX says its training clubs are affiliated facilities that can advertise and market their services while using the HYROX brand name. (movatiathletic.com) The company’s gym-finder says certified trainers and partner gyms are intended to help athletes prepare for HYROX competition. Barrhaven, one of MOVATI’s Ottawa clubs, says on its location page that it offers HYROX classes built around competition movements and intensity and led by certified HYROX coaches. (movatiathletic.com) MOVATI did not publish the same class detail in the June 1 announcement for each of the four new sites, but the Ottawa page shows how the certification is being presented inside its club network. ### How big is HYROX’s broader expansion? (hyrox.com) HYROX says on its global site that it staged more than 80 races in 2025 with more than 550,000 athletes and 350,000 spectators. Its North America page lists races including Boston, Anaheim, Denver, Nashville and Salt Lake City, alongside tools for finding races and training clubs. The MOVATI announcement tied the new certifications to HYROX Toronto 2026, which the company said is scheduled for Oct. 1-4, 2026. (movatiathletic.com) HYROX’s race pages direct athletes to its event finder for registration and local race information. ### What should members and racers watch next? Oct. 1-4, 2026 is the next named milestone in MOVATI’s announcement, with HYROX Toronto 2026 cited as the upcoming event. (hyrox.com) MOVATI’s club pages and HYROX’s training-club finder are the two published places where athletes can check participating gyms and race-preparation options. (movatiathletic.com)
