Best Hyrox Apps for Apple Watch & iPhone (2026 Review)

Why Generic Fitness Apps Don’t Work for Hyrox

You’ve done a Hyrox. Or you’re about to. Either way, you’ve probably realized that your regular running app or workout tracker doesn’t quite fit.

Here’s the problem: Hyrox isn’t a run. It isn’t a gym session. It’s 16 alternating segments of running and station work, each with different pacing demands, performed in a specific order, with transition time between them. A running app sees one long activity. A gym app sees individual exercises. Neither captures the hybrid nature of the race.

What you actually need depends on when you need it:

• Before the race: Training plans, simulation tracking, station-specific workouts
• During the race: Live pacing, split tracking, segment-by-segment guidance on your wrist
• After the race: Analysis, comparison to targets, identifying where you left time on the table

No single app does all three perfectly. The Hyrox app ecosystem is still young — the sport itself only started in 2017 — but there are now enough purpose-built tools to cover each phase. Here’s what’s worth your time and money.

Race Day Apps

Race day is where generic apps completely fall apart. You need something that understands the Hyrox format — 8 runs, 8 stations, transitions — and gives you actionable information at a glance while you’re suffering through sandbag lunges.

RoxPacer

Full disclosure: I built RoxPacer. Here’s what it does and doesn’t do.

What it is: A native Apple Watch app designed exclusively for Hyrox race day. You set your target time before the race, and RoxPacer calculates target splits for every run and station based on configurable pacing profiles. During the race, it shows your live pace delta — whether you’re ahead or behind target — at every segment.

How it works: Start the race from your wrist. Tap to advance through each segment (run, station, run, station). The watch face shows your current segment, elapsed time, target time for that segment, and your cumulative delta. Green means ahead of target. Red means behind. At a glance, you know exactly where you stand.

What it doesn’t do: RoxPacer doesn’t track your training. It doesn’t have workout plans. It doesn’t connect to a social platform. It’s a single-purpose tool for race day — and that focus is intentional. Race day is not the time for feature bloat.

Pricing: $6.99 one-time purchase on the App Store. No subscription, no in-app purchases, no ads.

Best for: Athletes who want precise pacing data on their wrist during the race. If you’ve ever finished a Hyrox and thought “I went out too hard” or “I had more in the tank on the later stations,” RoxPacer exists to solve that.

HyRhythm

What it is: An Apple Watch app that provides audio-based pacing cues during your Hyrox race. Rather than looking at your watch, HyRhythm uses haptic feedback and audio alerts to keep you on pace.

How it works: Set your target time, and the app calculates your pacing plan. During the race, it sends alerts when you should transition between efforts and provides audio feedback on your pacing.

Pricing: Free tier with basic features, $4.99 for Pro which unlocks full pacing customization.

Best for: Athletes who prefer audio/haptic pacing over visual data. If you don’t want to keep glancing at your wrist during stations, the audio approach can work well.

Hyrox Timer

What it is: An iPhone-based timer app designed for Hyrox simulation workouts. It’s not really a race-day app — it’s better suited for training.

How it works: Set up a Hyrox simulation with customizable rest periods and station times. The app counts you through each segment with audio cues and keeps a running tally of your splits.

Pricing: Free.

Best for: Training simulations at home or in the gym. When you’re doing a mock Hyrox and need something to keep you honest on transitions and timing.

Training Apps

Race day is one thing. The 8–16 weeks of training beforehand is where you actually build the fitness to perform. These apps focus on structured Hyrox-specific training plans.

RoxFit

What it is: The most comprehensive Hyrox training app currently available. RoxFit offers structured training plans, exercise libraries, and progress tracking specifically for Hyrox athletes.

How it works: Select a training plan based on your experience level and target race date. The app delivers daily workouts that blend running, station practice, and general conditioning. It tracks your completion and adjusts volume over time. The app also supports Garmin integration, which is notable since most Hyrox apps are Apple-only.

Pricing: $9.99/month subscription after a free trial period.

Best for: Athletes who want a guided, structured training plan rather than building their own. Particularly useful for first-timers who aren’t sure how to balance running with station work.

The trade-off: It’s a subscription. If you’re training for one race per year, you might use it for 3–4 months and cancel, which is fine — but the per-race cost adds up compared to one-time purchase apps.

TrainRox

What it is: A Hyrox-specific training app with programming designed around the race format. Think of it as a Hyrox-focused coaching app.

How it works: You get daily workouts programmed in training blocks leading up to your race. The programming includes running sessions, station-specific strength work, and simulation days. It’s more prescriptive than RoxFit — less customization, more “just follow the plan.”

Pricing: $7.99/month subscription.

Best for: Athletes who want to be told exactly what to do each day. The programming is solid and race-specific. If you don’t enjoy writing your own training plans, TrainRox removes that cognitive load.

Intervals Pro

What it is: Not a Hyrox app per se, but a powerful interval timer that many Hyrox athletes use for training. It runs on Apple Watch natively and lets you build custom interval structures.

How it works: Create a workout with custom intervals — set work time, rest time, number of rounds, and transition periods. You can build a full Hyrox simulation with 16 segments, each with different time targets. The watch guides you through with haptic and audio cues.

Pricing: $9.99 one-time purchase.

Best for: Experienced athletes who know what they want to train and just need a flexible timer. Intervals Pro doesn’t tell you what to do — it times whatever you decide to do. It’s also useful well beyond Hyrox for any interval-based training.

Analysis and Planning Tools

Before you race and between races, you need to set targets and analyze performance. These web-based tools help with the planning side.

Hybrid Athlete Club Race Calculator

What it is: A free web-based calculator that estimates your Hyrox finish time based on your fitness benchmarks. Input your 1km run time, SkiErg pace, rowing pace, and other station estimates, and it projects a total race time.

How it works: Enter your best times for each station and your 1km run pace. The calculator applies transition time estimates and produces a projected finish time with a segment-by-segment breakdown.

Best for: Pre-race planning. If you know your individual station capabilities, this tool helps you set a realistic overall target time. It’s also useful for identifying which stations have the most room for improvement.

Limitations: It’s only as accurate as your inputs. If you’ve never done a sled push at race weight, your estimate might be way off. Use it as a starting point, then refine after your first race or simulation.

RoxHype Calculator

What it is: Another free web-based split calculator for Hyrox. It takes a slightly different approach, letting you play with different pacing strategies to see how they affect your total time.

How it works: Set your target finish time and the calculator distributes splits across all 16 segments. You can adjust individual segments to create a negative-split plan (starting slower, finishing faster) or see what happens if one station blows up.

Best for: Scenario planning. What happens to your total time if you’re 30 seconds slow on the sled push? What if you pick up 20 seconds on every run? RoxHype lets you model these scenarios before race day.

Which App Do You Need?

The answer depends on where you are in your Hyrox journey:

“I’ve never done a Hyrox and I’m training for my first one.” Start with a training app (RoxFit or TrainRox) and a web calculator (Hybrid Athlete Club) to set your target time. As race day approaches, add a race-day app. If you have an Apple Watch, RoxPacer gives you live pacing data during the race itself.

“I’ve done a Hyrox and want to improve my time.” Analyze your previous splits to find your weaknesses. Use a web calculator to set new targets. Train with Intervals Pro or a structured app. On race day, use RoxPacer to track your pace delta in real time — this is where having segment-by-segment data on your wrist becomes invaluable.

“I just want something for race day.” RoxPacer if you want visual pace data on your wrist. HyRhythm if you prefer audio cues. Either way, set your target time beforehand and let the app keep you accountable.

“I train at a CrossFit box and just want to race.” You probably don’t need a Hyrox training app — your box programming covers the strength side. Add running volume on your own, use a calculator to set targets, and grab a race-day app. Check out our Hyrox vs CrossFit comparison for more on bridging the two.

“I don’t have an Apple Watch.” Your options are more limited for race day, but you can still use web calculators for planning, phone-based training apps for preparation, and write your target splits on your arm (seriously — it works). RoxFit also supports Garmin for training tracking.

The Bottom Line

The Hyrox app ecosystem is still maturing. Two years ago, there was almost nothing purpose-built for the sport. Now there are dedicated tools for training, racing, and analysis — and they’re getting better every season.

Here’s the minimum viable stack I’d recommend:

1. A web calculator (free) — to set your target time and splits
2. A race-day watch app — to track your pacing live during the race
3. A training plan — whether that’s an app, a coach, or your own programming

You don’t need all the apps. You don’t need any subscriptions if you know how to train yourself. But having live pacing data on your wrist during the race? That’s the one thing I’d call genuinely transformative. Knowing you’re 45 seconds ahead at Station 5 changes how you approach the last three stations. Knowing you’re behind changes it even more.

Whatever tools you use, the most important thing is having a plan — for training and for race day. The app is just the delivery mechanism for that plan.
