HYROX Training Camp with Anna Lewandowska: 5 Days of Hybrid Racing Prep in Poland

Anna Lewandowska leads this camp alongside Jakub Jandura, Luis Pajares and Małgorzata Reysner. Lewandowska is a multiple medallist at World, European and Polish Championships in traditional karate, holds fitness and personal training certifications including CrossFit Level 1 Trainer, has done extensive nutrition coursework, and is currently completing her HYROX coach certification. She's the creator of the hybrid ALL OUT training programme. Jandura is Country Manager of HYROX Poland, a certified personal trainer with HYROX Level 1 certification and a HYROX competitor himself. Pajares is a CrossFit Level 2 Coach based at Edan Studio in Barcelona with a background in football, calisthenics and functional training. Reysner has been a personal trainer and fitness instructor since 2006, specialising in CrossFit, functional training and high-intensity work, a CrossFit Level 1 Trainer since 2015 and named Top Trainer by Shape magazine in 2016. All three of the non-Lewandowska coaches are also working toward HYROX coach certification.

The training system here is hybrid — strength and endurance combined — with a stated emphasis on technique and movement quality over simply piling on load. Realistic race preparation is the goal, and the camp includes performance tests so you can see where you actually stand in a few days rather than guessing. You'll train on competition-grade equipment to competition standards, which is the main practical difference from training at a normal gym: the sled weights, ergs and wall ball targets are what you'll face on race day.

The setting is unusual. Dojo Stara Wieś is built to the canons of Japanese architecture in the middle of the Polish countryside, on the edge of the Przedbórz Landscape Park. It's the largest centre in the world dedicated to specialist training in Far Eastern martial arts and combat sports, surrounded by fields and forest and a long way from any city noise. For the duration of the camp, the Dojo is fitted out with the HYROX competition kit.

The camp starts Tuesday afternoon and finishes Sunday after lunch, giving you roughly four full training days and two half days. Beyond the sessions themselves, there's classroom content covering race strategy and mental preparation, and the recovery side is taken seriously — a sauna, ice bath and shared recovery equipment are all available, plus the option of a massage or physiotherapy consultation. The stated aim is to combine intense training with effective recovery so you make progress without overloading, and to send you home with a race strategy you can actually use.

Food is full board — breakfast, lunch and dinner prepared by professional chefs following Anna Lewandowska's recipes, using natural, high-quality ingredients from organic brands that partner with her. The menu is designed around recovery and energy for the sessions rather than restriction.
