DEKA STRONG or HYROX: which should you do first?

You want to race. Great. Now, HYROX or DEKA? Here's the honest comparison.

DEKA STRONG

Ten zones, back to back, no running. Rowing, box jump overs, med ball throws, SkiErg, farmers carries, air bike, tank pushes and more. Short, sharp and very spicy. Made by the team behind Spartan.

HYROX

Eight 1 km runs, each followed by a station. Longer, more of an endurance test, with a running component you can't hide from.

Our recommendation

  • Hate running? Start with DEKA STRONG
  • Love a long grind? HYROX
  • Want company? HYROX Doubles
  • Can't decide? Do both. We host both.
