HYROX Training Camp in Poland with Anna Lewandowska's Coaching Team

The camp runs at the European Budo Centre – Dojo Stara Wieś, a Japanese-architecture complex that is the largest centre in Europe dedicated to Far Eastern martial arts and combat sports training. For the camp, the DOJO is kitted out with the professional HYROX competition equipment. It sits among fields and forests on the edge of the Przedbórz Landscape Park, well away from any city.

The training is built specifically around HYROX racing rather than general fitness. Expect hybrid sessions combining strength and endurance, a heavy emphasis on technique and movement quality, performance tests to measure where you actually are, and realistic race preparation. Coaches include Anna Lewandowska (a multiple medallist at World, European and Polish karate championships, CrossFit Level 1 Trainer, currently completing her HYROX coach certification), Jakub Jandura (Country Manager of HYROX Poland, HYROX Level 1 certified, HYROX competitor), Luis Pajares (CrossFit Level 2 Coach based at Edan Studio in Barcelona) and Małgorzata Reysner (personal trainer since 2006, CrossFit Level 1 since 2015, named Top Trainer by Shape magazine in 2016). Several of the coaching team are working toward their HYROX coach certification; all of them compete.

The day-to-day rhythm is train, eat, recover, repeat, with the schedule deliberately pairing hard sessions with recovery so you can back up the next day. Food is full board — breakfast, lunch and dinner prepared by professional chefs from Anna Lewandowska's recipes using organic partner brands. Recovery is treated as part of the programme, not an add-on: sauna, ice bath, shared recovery equipment, and a massage or physiotherapy consultation.

The camp starts on Tuesday afternoon and wraps up Sunday after lunch, so it's five nights on site. Accommodation is in high-standard Japanese cottages that sleep seven, each with four rooms with specialist sleeping futons, a living room with fireplace and terrace, three bathrooms, a double-sink washroom area, a kitchenette with fridge and electric kettle, towels, a dryer and Wi-Fi. Booking is by email to camps@lewandowskaanna.com with the subject line 'HYROX Training Camp by Ann 2026'; once you get confirmation you pay the registration fee and send proof of transfer.
