HYROX Performance Camp with World Champion Hugo Hugemark, Thailand

The camp starts on Wednesday evening with arrivals, an academy briefing at 5:30 PM, and a welcome HYROX session at 6 PM in the High Performance Center. Thursday is the first full day: 8-9 AM is a Ski & Row masterclass, then 9-10 AM is Ski-Run-Row engine development. After a break, 3-4 PM is an athletic development lecture in the conference room, and 4-5 PM is another HYROX session. Friday shifts to race pace running at 7:30 AM, then sled work and race skills from 8:30-10 AM. The afternoon has an elite race strategy talk at 3 PM and a HYROX session at 4 PM.

Saturday is the biggest day: from 8 AM to noon you do a full race simulation — singles or doubles — in the High Performance Center. After that, the Performance Lab opens. You can get a VO2 max test, core temperature data, heart rate training zones, and a 1-to-1 coach analysis, which results in a performance report. This is included in the Elite Upgrade (an extra €150). Sunday wraps up with an Academy Relay Championship from 8-9 AM, then an athlete Q&A and action review from 9-10 AM, followed by departures.

The training is led by Hugo Hugemark, a multiple HYROX PRO champion and Ski-erg world record holder who has also competed in Driathlon, Triathlon, and FURA. He's coached more than 5,000 athletes across different sports and levels, and his approach is data-driven and long-term. You'll train with official HYROX equipment by CENTR — sleds, power ropes, sandbags, Concept2 SkiErgs and rowers, and wall balls. The camp is capped at around 20 participants to keep coaching personal.

The resort itself sits on 47 acres (120 rai) in Bang Kao, on the southern side of Koh Samui, surrounded by coconut groves and quiet villages. It has its own private beach, a 800 m2 fitness center with Technogym and Keiser equipment, two squash courts, a sports bar and café, a swimming pool, and a sauna with cold plunge. The Sports Hotel has 70 rooms, so you're never far from anything. Airport transfers are included — it's about a 40-minute drive from Koh Samui International Airport (USM).

What makes this different from other HYROX camps is the combination of Hugo's coaching, the official HYROX equipment, and the Performance Lab on Saturday. Most camps don't offer VO2 max testing or core temperature data. Also, the setting is Koh Samui in December, which is dry season — hot and sunny, but not the rainy season. You'll be training hard but also able to swim, relax on the beach, and eat good Thai food. The camp is registration-based and will be confirmed by October 30, 2026, or when it fills up.
