HYROX Training Camp in Lanzarote: Outdoor Race Prep at Club La Santa

The week centres on the official HYROX training classes, which run on a fixed weekly programme. Sessions include HYROX Intro (for first-timers learning the station technique), HYROX WOD (the standard workout-of-the-day format), HYROX Green Team Race (full race simulation) and HYROX Benchmark (a timed test). Coaches scale everything, so a complete beginner and a sub-60-minute racer can train in the same class and both get something out of it.

The signature test is the PFT — Physical Fitness Test. It's fixed: 1000m run (outdoor or treadmill at 2% incline), 50 burpee broad jumps at 90cm, 100 fully extended stationary lunges, 1000m row, 30 hand-release push-ups, and 100 wall balls (6kg male / 4kg female). Your total time tells you which division to enter: 15–25 minutes puts you in HYROX PRO, 25–35 minutes is HYROX Open, 30–40 minutes is HYROX Doubles, and 35–45 minutes is HYROX Relay. Most people re-test at the end of the week to see the improvement.

The race itself is eight rounds of 1km running plus one functional station: SkiErg, sled push, sled pull, burpee broad jumps, rowing, farmers carry, sandbag lunges and wall balls. Training covers each station individually — sled technique, sandbag gait, wall ball pacing — because most time is lost on transitions and pacing, not raw strength.

What separates this from a generic fitness holiday is the setting. Club La Santa is a purpose-built sports resort in Tinajo on Lanzarote's west coast, with an outdoor HYROX rig, athletics track, 50m pool, and access to volcanic terrain for running and cycling. The Canary Islands winter weather means you can train outdoors in January.

Beyond HYROX, the resort programme runs 40+ weekly activities: CrossFit, functional training, yoga, Pilates, spin, aqua fitness, tennis, padel, beach volleyball, surfing, windsurfing, kiteboarding, open-water swimming, guided road and mountain bike rides, and running routes. You book classes through the resort app day by day. It's your week — train hard or mix it up.
