Racing, today announced GoodLife Fitness as its official title
sponsor for HYROX Toronto 2024, the first ever HYROX indoor
fitness race in Canada happening
October 5 and 6, 2024 at Enercare

"As Canada's largest fitness

programs, amenities and equipment to train for HYROX, including
strength, functional, and cardio equipment, Turf Zones for sled
pushes, REGYMEN classes and more," said Tammy Brazier, senior vice president of
marketing, partnerships & external relations with
GoodLife Fitness. "Our Associates and Members are
already training for HYROX, so it was a huge opportunity to be able
to bring the event to Canada and
open the door for more competitors and spectators to join this mass
participation fitness event. HYROX is truly an event for all ages
and abilities."
HYROX chose to work with Canada's largest fitness chain for its first
Canadian event because of GoodLife's network of well-equipped clubs
and its huge member base across Canada.
GoodLife Fitness is an amazing partner for us as we continue to
build our presence in Canada, a
household name with over a million members at all levels of
fitness, said Douglas Gremmen,
managing director, HYROX USA &
Canada. "As a mission-led business
that aims to give everyone in Canada the opportunity to live a fit and
healthy life we knew from our earliest conversations that we were
aligned not just as partners but in our respective
philosophies."
HYROX combines both running and functional workout stations,
where participants run 1km, followed by 1 functional workout
station, repeated eight times. This race format remains
consistent across the globe, enabling global leaderboards and a
cumulative World Championships at the end of each race season.
