In this brief commentary, the speaker contrasts Hyrox with CrossFit, describing Hyrox as an organized circuit or threshold test that lacks the heavy strength and high‑skill movements characteristic of CrossFit. He argues that strength training has no place in Hyrox and criticizes the many online reels that promote extensive strength and endurance work for Hyrox preparation, suggesting those claims are misleading.

Am I right in saying that HIROX is kind of like CrossFit without the shitty form? Like, it's a more like organized circuit version of CrossFit. Like, what's the difference between HIROX and CrossFit? CrossFit's higher skill and much more strength dominant. The word strength, in my opinion, has no place in HIROX. Yeah, it's a threshold test. Yeah, for sure. In theory, there's no heavy, heavy lifting. Yeah, but there's a lot of reels that say full week of strength and endurance training for HIROX, and strength training is not 150 wall balls.
