HYROX Preparation Camp at Playitas: Race-Ready Training in Fuerteventura

Playitas Resort sits on the east coast of Fuerteventura, a purpose-built sports hotel with a 50-metre pool, athletics track, and direct access to year-round training conditions. For this HYROX Preparation Camp, the focus is entirely on race-specific work. Mornings typically start with a technique-focused run session or a station skills block: sled push and pull, burpee broad jumps, rowing, farmer's carries, sandbag lunges, wall balls. You'll learn setups that save seconds and energy.

After lunch and a rest, afternoons often combine compromised running sets—running immediately after station efforts to simulate race fatigue—or a full race simulation. Coach Hugo Hugemark leads the sessions, offering individual pacing advice based on your current run and station times. Video review may be used for technique correction on the ski erg and rower.

What sets this apart from a generic HYROX camp is the explicit race preparation angle: you won't just train hard; you'll practice your race plan, transition speed, and mental approach. The small group size means personalised feedback. The resort's recovery facilities—thermal circuit, massage (extra), and a 50m pool—support the workload.

Evenings are free for rest or optional mobility classes. The camp schedule includes one rest afternoon mid-week to keep you fresh. You'll leave with a written race plan, pacing targets, and a clear idea of what to do on race morning.

Accommodation is flexible: choose from hotel rooms or apartments when booking, with half-board or full-board meal plans. The resort is a short drive from the airport and offers a mix of fitness-focused guests and families, but the HYROX group trains separately for most sessions.
