HYROX Training Camp with Anna Lewandowska — 6 Days of Hybrid Racing Prep in Poland

The camp runs at DOJO Stara Wieś, described as one of the largest centres in the world dedicated to specialist training in Far Eastern martial arts and combat sports. It's a purpose-built Japanese village — dojo buildings, fields and forest around it, on the edge of the Przedbórz Landscape Park, well away from any city. For this week it gets fitted out with the full competition kit: rowing ergometers, ski ergometers, sleds for pushing and pulling, wall balls, kettlebells and sandbags.

Training is a professionally designed HYROX system — hybrid work that blends strength and endurance, with a heavy emphasis on technique and movement quality. You'll do realistic race preparation, performance tests, and enough load management to make progress without frying yourself. Sessions are led by certified coaches who are among Poland's leading HYROX athletes, plus Anna Lewandowska and her team, who compete in HYROX themselves. There's also educational content: a sit-down discussion of race strategy and mental preparation.

Recovery isn't an afterthought. The programme lists sauna, massage or a physiotherapy consultation, ice bath and shared recovery equipment, and the stated approach folds movement, recovery, sleep and mindset together. The idea is that you leave with a ready-made race strategy, better technique, measurable fitness progress, and practical nutrition habits you can keep using at home.

Anna Lewandowska is the figurehead. She's a coach with years of experience and certifications in fitness and personal training, including CrossFit Level 1 Trainer, plus numerous nutrition courses. She's a multiple medallist at World, European and Polish Championships in traditional karate, creator of the hybrid ALL OUT programme, and is currently completing her HYROX coach certification. Jakub Jandura is Country Manager of HYROX Poland, a certified personal trainer with HYROX Level 1 certification and a HYROX competitor. Luis Pajares is a certified personal trainer based at Edan Studio in Barcelona, a CrossFit Level 2 Coach with a background in football, calisthenics, functional training and HYROX. Małgorzata Reysner has been a personal trainer and fitness instructor since 2006, specialising in CrossFit, functional training, high-intensity workouts and body composition, a CrossFit Level 1 Trainer since 2015 and named Top Trainer by Shape magazine in 2016.

What separates this from a generic fitness week is the specificity. You're training on the exact equipment you'll face at a HYROX event, to competition standards, with coaches who race the format themselves — including the person who runs HYROX Poland. The venue is unusual enough to remember: a Japanese architectural complex in the Polish countryside, silent apart from the training.

The camp starts Tuesday afternoon and ends Sunday after lunch. The price is 6,500 PLN and covers five nights' accommodation in the on-site Japanese cottages, full board with menus based on Anna Lewandowska's recipes, recovery and wellness sessions, accident insurance and a welcome pack. Booking is by email — send an enquiry to camps@lewandowskaanna.com with the subject line 'HYROX Training Camp by Ann 2026', and once you get confirmation, pay and send proof of transfer.
