HYROX Preparation Camp with Hugo Hugemark in Fuerteventura

The camp is a five-day block of race-specific preparation, not a general fitness week. Each day mixes running with the functional stations you'll meet on course: sled push, sled pull, burpee broad jumps, rowing, ski erg, farmers carry, sandbag lunges and wall balls. Sessions are coached, with time set aside to work on the technical details — how to sit on the sled, how to break up the lunges, where to breathe on the rower.

Pacing is a big part of the week. Hugo works with you on how to spread effort across the eight stations so you don't blow up halfway through the run segments. You'll do repeat efforts and use the feedback to adjust, which is the part most people get wrong in their first HYROX. Expect a mix of track work, gym-based station practice and short brick-style sessions that simulate race fatigue.

The camp is led by Hugo Hugemark, a Playitas ambassador and experienced HYROX coach. He runs the sessions himself, so the group gets direct feedback rather than a handout. Group sizes are kept manageable enough that he can watch your technique and correct it on the spot.

Playitas Resort sits on the coast near Las Playitas, a quiet fishing village on Fuerteventura's east side. The resort has a 50m outdoor pool, a full athletics track, a large gym and direct access to the ocean, so you can swim or run along the promenade between sessions. It's warm in late August and early September — expect low 20s to high 20s Celsius — so morning and evening sessions are the norm.

What separates this from a standard HYROX camp is the emphasis on race execution. You're not just training hard; you're learning how to race the event. If you're entered for HYROX Tenerife or planning a race later in the season, this is the week to nail your strategy before you taper.
