HYROX Equipment Essentials: Gear to Dominate Your Next Race
Following an incredible year of growth, gains, and record-setting participation, HYROX is back and bigger than ever before.
Last season brought us a global schedule that touched down in almost every continent, culminating in an exhilarating showing at the HYROX World Championships in Chicago.
The 2025/26 season promises more of the same, with hybrid training taking gyms across the land by force.
Whether you’re gearing up to race for the first time or setting fresh goals, securing top-tier HYROX equipment is the key to crossing the finish line with a time you can be proud of.
With that in mind, we’ve picked out seven pieces of kit courtesy of Bulldog Gear that’ll take your hybrid era to the next level — at home or in a commercial gym.

Our Top HYROX Equipment Picks
Bulldog Gear — Competition Kettlebells
The Farmer’s Carry might appear deceptively simple, but it’s the secret assassin of the HYROX race. Positioned after five functional workout stations and six one-kilometre runs, it’s a serious test of grip strength, form, endurance, and core stability.
As the old saying goes, by failing to prepare for it accordingly, you are preparing to fail. Bulldog Gear’s Competition Kettlebells are a versatile tonic for any commercial or home gym setup.
Two set options are available, ranging from 8kg–32kg and 8kg–40kg respectively.
Choosing either one would cover you for the weight requirements in both the men’s and women’s Open and Pro HYROX divisions, while giving you free rein to start small and build up your metal.
Bulldog Gear’s offering comes in uniform sizing regardless of the kettlebell’s weight, ensuring a consistent training experience as you climb the rack.
Bare steel handles promise a gentler texture for your hands — vital for avoiding the dreaded calluses when prepping for the full 200-metre carry — while wrist chamfers reduce pressure points on the forearms over large rep ranges.
Crafted from gravity cast iron, these kettlebells are a sturdy addition to your HYROX equipment arsenal, and a top bit of kit for everyday training.
Price: £557.65 for the 140kg set or £41.95–£149.95 bought individually

Bulldog Gear — Wall Ball
The Wall Balls station is many hybrid athletes’ favourite of the bunch. With the finish line in sight, it marks the last big push before you officially join the HYROX family in style.
Though working through a literal tonne of reps in a timely manner requires rhythm, and rhythm only comes with practice.
Referees are always keeping an eye out for proper form: full squats, snapping back into an upright position, and nailing the centre of that target.
Bulldog Gear’s Wall Balls are the perfect training tools for finding your groove. Sold individually or as part of a set, you can use them to practise on an external wall, mounted target, or even in your garage.
Weight options run from 3kg to 15kg, comfortably covering the HYROX criteria and then some.
The balls themselves are 14 inches in diameter, made from an anti-bacterial outer vinyl casing resistant to moisture and scuffs, and fitted with a compartmentalised inner core to maintain shape and balance.
If you’re buying for a home gym, Bulldog Gear’s Wall Balls present a space-savvy investment. They’re also perfect for squats, core work, and plenty more high-intensity functional movements.
Price: £539.60 for the full set or £49.95–£84.95 bought individually

Bulldog Gear — Competition Sandbag
Sandbag Lunges: the station where lactic acid thrives and glutes go to die. As the penultimate movement, keeping enough juice in the legs to crank out 100 metres’ worth of sandbag lunges is vital.
Ensuring that longevity is all about putting in the work. Bulldog Gear’s Competition Sandbag allows you to do just that.
Ideal for athletes focused on functional fitness racing, it’s built from ultra-tough Cordura® nylon with reinforced double-stitched seams.
In other words, it can handle even the most intense workouts — and being dumped on the floor when you feel like you’re going to collapse.
Seven (yes, seven) external nylon handles allow for secure grip in any position, opening up your workout possibilities beyond Sandbag Lunges.
The sand itself is encased within two filler bags with a double Velcro® locking system, preventing any leakage or moisture penetration — because nobody needs the added weight.
Available in 10kg, 20kg, and 30kg options, you can match and go beyond what’s required on race day, solidifying this sandbag as a must-have piece of HYROX equipment for any home or commercial gym.
Price: £39.95 (10kg), £49.95 (20kg), £59.95 (30kg)

Bulldog Gear — Curve Runner Treadmill 2.0
Perfecting your running technique is crucial for keeping momentum going during those eight one-kilometre shuffles.
Working on your short-burst cardio also pays off in terms of active recovery. The fitter you are, the more revitalised you’ll feel by the time you reach the next station.
If you’re flying solo, that’s especially important as there’s nobody to split the load with. The Curve Runner 2.0 might look simple, but it’s a game-changer for hybrid athletes chasing speed, power, and flawless form.
As a non-motorised, belt-driven treadmill, it’s powered entirely by your own movement — push harder, and the belt responds instantly.
That means no minimum or maximum speed, no console juggling, and a running experience that’s 100% controlled by you — just like on race day.
Perfect for high-intensity sessions, the subtle curve of the platform uses your stride to drive the belt, creating a friction-based, naturally intuitive workout.
Ideal for both home gyms and commercial spaces, it’s crafted from market-leading materials with a stylish finish, while built-in wheels, a sturdy handle, and adjustable rubber feet make moving and stabilising the machine effortless.
A fully programmable LCD console keeps you on track, displaying time, speed, distance, pace, calories, heart rate, watts, and RPM.
Interval sessions, target distances, split times, and calorie goals can all be set with a few taps, letting you train smarter and aim higher without breaking flow.
As at-home HYROX equipment goes, this is a smart pick.

Bulldog Gear — Speed Weight Sled
If you’re searching for HYROX equipment that doesn’t take up oodles of floor space, Bulldog Gear’s Speed Weight Sled is a cost-effective and compact choice.
Firm foam handles at each end of two straps provide a secure, comfortable way for you to mimic the sled pull station in your garden gym, training down the park, or even during small boot-camp-style sessions.
The mat is compatible with grass, carpet, astroturf or rubber flooring and can easily be popped in the boot for easy portability.
Capable of holding five 25kg hybrid bumper plates, it’s a small yet mighty option for anyone who hasn’t got room for a full metal rig in their garage.
Price: £55

Concept2 Rower/RowErg
What better way to prepare for race day than by training with the exact same HYROX equipment used by the pros?
The Concept2 RowErg is the world’s best-selling indoor rower — recognised by elite athletes as the gold standard for indoor rowing, and now a cornerstone of the HYROX circuit.
Dependable, precise, and engineered to last a lifetime in both home and commercial settings, the Concept2 RowErg is a non-negotiable if you want to ace station five and kick off the second half of your HYROX race in style.
It’s the exact same model used on every course, so there is — quite literally — no closer or better option on the market.
Price: £1,120 via Bulldog Gear

Concept2 SkiErg — PM5 Monitor
The Concept2 SkiErg is one of the most valuable pieces of HYROX equipment you can own if you’re serious about race prep.
Modelled on the mechanics of Nordic skiing — a discipline famed for its brutal full-body demands — it builds strength and endurance through the arms, core, and legs using the exact same flywheel system and PM5 performance monitor found on the Concept2 RowErg.
Much like the Concept2 RowErg, it’s the exact model used for the official HYROX race. That means race-accurate feedback, instant pacing data, and bomb-proof durability for home or commercial use.
Whether wall-mounted or paired with the floor stand, this SkiErg is the closest you can get to training in race-day conditions without actually being there.
Delivering double-pole and alternating-arm work, it’s a proven, no-nonsense way to plug the gaps before you toe the start line.
