Six-Day HYROX Training Camp in Fuerteventura with Hugo Hugemark

The camp runs Monday 14 December to Saturday 19 December, starting in the morning on the Monday and finishing on the Saturday evening. Hugo Hugemark, a Playitas Resort ambassador, leads it, joined by a coaching team of elite athletes from HYROX and endurance sport backgrounds. They run the sessions themselves and talk you through what race day actually demands.

Training is HYROX-specific. That means running work plus the eight functional stations that make up a race: ski erg, sled push, sled pull, burpees, rowing, farmers carry, sandbag lunges and wall balls. The point of a camp like this is volume and technique in the same week — you get coached reps on the stations you'd otherwise practise badly alone, and you run on tired legs the way you will on race day.

What separates this from a generic fitness week is the coaching line-up. Playitas brings in elite athletes to work alongside Hugemark, so the people correcting your sled technique and pacing have raced at a high level. The schedule is published as a preliminary camp schedule before the week, so you know what you're signing up for.

Playitas Resort is on Fuerteventura in the Canary Islands, and the resort is set up for exactly this kind of week: training facilities on site, December temperatures that let you run outdoors, and board included in your booking so you're not hunting for food between sessions.

Booking is done as a package. You select dates that include 14–19 December, choose your accommodation and board, add the HYROX Camp for each participant, then enter your details and pay. If you'd rather do it by email, the resort takes bookings at booking@playitas.net.
