Pretty Huge opens HYROX training area

Pretty Huge has added a dedicated HYROX training area to its multi-sports complex in Bonifacio Global City, giving Manila athletes a venue built around the race format’s running-and-stations structure. Philstar reported on May 20 that the facility had officially introduced the area this week, while other local reports said the launch took place on May 14. The setup includes a SkiErg, sleds, a turf track and functional training stations arranged to mirror HYROX race-day conditions. Pretty Huge also said it offers HYROX training packages and simulation events for different fitness levels. ### Where exactly is the new HYROX space, and what does it include? Bonifacio Global City is the site of the new training area, which Pretty Huge has installed inside its existing multi-sports venue. Philstar described the venue as a 2,300-square-meter facility, a footprint large enough to house a full race-simulation layout. The equipment list is specific to HYROX’s format. Philstar and the Philippine Daily Inquirer’s sports section both reported that the area includes a SkiErg, sleds, a turf track and functional training stations designed to replicate competition conditions. ### Why does a “simulation” setup matter for HYROX athletes? (qa.philstar.com) HYROX describes its events as fitness races that combine running with functional workout stations, and its official race finder lists competitions by city for athletes registering around the world. A venue that reproduces those stations gives users a way to train in the same sequence and with similar equipment to what they would face in competition. (qa.philstar.com) Philstar said Pretty Huge’s layout was designed to replicate race-day conditions, and the Inquirer used similar language in its account of the launch. Neither report listed every station in the venue, but both tied the design directly to HYROX-specific preparation rather than general gym training.

Philstar reported that the venue offers HYROX training packages and HYROX-simulation events for “all fitness levels,” from beginners to more experienced athletes. (qa.philstar.com) Manila Standard and Philippines Graphic, in separate reports on the launch, said Pretty Huge was positioning itself as an official HYROX Training Club and one of a small number of such sites in the BGC area. Those reports also said the facility was aimed at both competitive athletes and everyday fitness users. (philstar.com) ### Is this part of broader HYROX growth in the Philippines? Philstar has reported on several HYROX-related developments in the Philippines over the past year, including a dedicated HYROX training facility opened by a gym franchise in 2025 and coverage of Filipino competitors in 2026. That suggests a wider local buildout of training infrastructure around the race format. (manilastandard.net) A February Philstar report also said Cebu was set to host a HYROX 365 Training Club Edition event, another sign that organizers and gyms are building local participation beyond Metro Manila. ### What can athletes do now? Pretty Huge says the venue is open daily from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m., according to Philstar’s May 20 report on the launch. (philstar.com) The company’s website lists the broader facility and its training areas, while HYROX’s official race finder lists upcoming competitions for athletes looking to train toward an event.
