What is Project Hyrox
Melbourne Hyrox is on the calendar. The next 12 weeks determine what happens when you get there.
Project Hyrox is a structured, 12-week race prep program running under INTNT Performance. One fixed cohort — everyone starts the same day, trains the same 12 weeks, and shows up to Melbourne together.
Two programs depending on where you're at. Both built for different goals. One start line.
The two programs
Foundation
Built for the athlete who's signed up and needs a plan to actually get there.
Compete
Built for the athlete who's done it and wants a result they can actually be proud of.
Choose your path
Foundation and Compete are built for specific athlete profiles. Answer four questions and we'll point you in the right direction — including whether 1:1 coaching is actually the better move.

Your program
The Foundation program is built around a minimum effective dose — structured, progressive, and designed to build race-specific fitness from the ground up without overbaking you. It fits your life without replacing it. You'll show up to Melbourne with a plan that worked, and you'll know exactly why you trained the way you did.

The Compete program is built to push the ceiling. You've got the base — now it's about race strategy, pacing, and extracting the best result from what you've already built. The programming will stretch you. The calls and the guides give you the tools to manage your volume as the block progresses and know when to pull back.
Join the waitlistYour path
Based on where you're at, a group program might not be the right fit right now. INTNT 1:1 coaching is fully personalised — your schedule, your gaps, your goals. It's the right move if you need something built specifically around you rather than a broader cohort. Reach out directly and we'll figure out what that looks like.

Foundation
You've signed up. The training hasn't been specific enough or hasn't started yet. Foundation is minimum effective dose — structured, progressive, and built to take you from where you are right now to the finish line in Melbourne.
Join the waitlist →Compete
You've been here before. The base is built. Compete is a higher ceiling — race strategy, pacing, and wringing a better result out of what you've already built. Structured for athletes chasing a performance outcome, not just a finish.
Join the waitlist →Premium 1:1 Coaching
If you're new to structured running — under 2km continuous or under 5 hours training per week — a group program will push harder than your current base can absorb. You'll get more out of something built specifically around you. On the other end: if you're a high performer with serious volume and race experience, a group program won't stretch you the way 1:1 will. Both are a signal to reach out directly.

The journey
You're in. Welcome message, Everfit access, and four PDF guides land immediately. Watch the welcome video — it covers everything you need before training starts.
Day one on the program. Foundation and Compete both start the same day. From here you're training with the full cohort — same 12 weeks, same destination.
The whole group gets together. We run through your guides, the big rocks for the first block, and what the next 12 weeks look like. Dylan and Ryan both on the call.
Early in the block we establish your benchmarks. These become the reference point for tracking progress across the 12 weeks and dialling in race strategy as Melbourne gets closer.
Foundation builds running under fatigue from the ground up. Compete builds race-specific strength and efficiency. Both programs building toward the same finish line.
Halfway through. We review how the block has gone, adjust anything that needs adjusting, and set the direction for the back six weeks.
The block gets more specific. Foundation athletes build race confidence; Compete athletes dial in pacing and strategy. The work starts converting into race readiness.
A second check-in as the block progresses. We assess where everyone is at and make sure the final weeks are pointed in the right direction.
Final call before Melbourne. Pacing, station strategy, nutrition, race week, and how to get your head right before the start line.
December 9–12. INTNT athletes on the floor. The finish line is where 12 weeks pays off.
Your coaches

He trains for the same events his clients do. He built INTNT Performance around the belief that performance isn't gatekept for elite athletes. With the right structure and direction, anyone with the drive can get there.

Common questions
Use the self-assessment above — it takes two minutes and gives you a clear recommendation. In short: Foundation is for athletes doing their first Hyrox or building the base from scratch. Compete is for athletes who've done one or more races and are chasing a performance outcome. If you land on 1:1, that's us saying the group program probably isn't the right fit right now and something personalised will get you a better result.
4–5 sessions per week, 45–60 minutes each. Sessions are structured and progressive across 12 weeks. Foundation focuses on running under fatigue and building Hyrox conditioning. Compete builds race-specific strength and pacing at a higher intensity ceiling. Week 12 sharpens everything going into Melbourne.
Access to a gym with standard Hyrox-relevant equipment — barbells, dumbbells, kettlebells, a treadmill or running access, a rower or ski erg, and wall balls. If your gym doesn't have something specific, alternatives are always provided in the session notes.
We cover bare minimum expectations on the kick-off call — which sessions are essential and which can flex around life. The program is built with primary and secondary sessions in mind, so missing a secondary session here and there doesn't derail your progress. Group calls are recorded and uploaded to Everfit so you never miss the content if you can't make it live.
Fixed cohort. Everyone starts September 7, trains the same 12 weeks, and shows up to Melbourne together. The calls, community, and race week experience are built around that shared timeline — that's what makes it different from an individual online program.
The 12-week block is solid race prep regardless of which event you're pointing at — and it's a good introduction to what the INTNT Performance method looks like in practice. If you're interested in Hyrox, want to get genuinely fit, and have a race on the horizon, this is a strong way to do it. Melbourne is the anchor, but the fitness and habits you build across 12 weeks carry into whatever comes next.
Still jump in. Tickets get resold — within four weeks of race day things typically start moving as people's plans change. Being part of the program puts you inside a community where that's likely to happen first. And if Melbourne doesn't work out, the fitness is real either way. Don't let the ticket situation be the reason you don't start.
