Why Bayshore Fit is Perfect for Hyrox Training
If you’re training for Hyrox like me or looking to level up your fitness in Tampa, Bayshore Fit in South Tampa is the place to be. With its elite-level and wide variety of equipment, welcoming atmosphere, and functional training focus, this gym is truly a Hyrox athlete’s dream. It’s even got the most amazing infrared saunas, recovery room and a cold plunge! Not to mention, this gym is limited to 1,000 members, so you’ll rarely ever find yourself waiting for equipment or not having enough room on the outdoor turf for functional training. Whether you’re preparing for your first Hyrox race or just looking to switch things up, here’s why Bayshore Fit should be your go-to training spot.
Why Bayshore Fit is Perfect for Hyrox Training
Hyrox races require a combination of endurance, strength, and functional fitness. Unlike most gyms (trust me, I’ve tried a few and have had a difficult time training for my first Hyrox race prior to switching due to lack of equipment and overcrowding), Bayshore Fit is equipped with everything you need to replicate race-day challenges, including:
- Sleds for the infamous sled push & sled pull
- Rowers and SkiErgs for cardio endurance
- Heavy kettlebells for farmer’s carries
- Assault runners and treadmills for interval training
- Hyrox group classes with expert trainers
- Over 3,000 sq feet of outdoor turf for lunges and functional training
Expert Coaches and Programming
Bayshore Fit isn’t just a typical gym—it’s a local training hub with knowledgeable coaches who understand Hyrox-style fitness (emphasis on the “local” as their slogan is “Life Local” which I absolutely love). Many trainers specialize in functional training, endurance building, and strength programming, making it easier to follow a structured plan leading up to race day. They are all incredibly friendly and encouraging as well!
Community of Like-Minded Athletes
One of my absolute favorite parts about Bayshore Fit – the COMMUNITY! I have met some incredible athletes and people so far since joining Bayshore Fit only several months ago, and have been challenged physically (and mentally) in ways I’ve never thought possible. I enjoy being around people who inspire me and push me to be better, and I’ve definitely found that. I have even found a small group to train for Hyrox with once per week!
You’ll find other Hyrox athletes, runners, Cross Fit and strength-focused athletes pushing themselves and each other. There are even newer to experienced gym-goers; all are welcome and supported at Bayshore Fit.
Great Location & Atmosphere
Located in South Tampa, Bayshore Fit has a welcoming, no-ego atmosphere where athletes of all levels train hard. The open-air feel, top-tier equipment, and motivating environment make it an ideal space train for Hyrox without the overcrowding of commercial gyms. The indoor/outdoor aspect of the gym is especially awesome on a cooler day.
