HYROX Home Gym (2026)The Race Training Equipment Worth Owning, and What It Needs
Prices checked November 11, 2026 · 10 min read
Fitness races such as HYROX combine running with a set of workout stations: machines like the rower and ski erg, and loaded movements such as sled pushes, carries, lunges and wall balls. You can train most of them at home, but the kit varies enormously in cost and in the space it needs. A ski erg needs a patch of wall. A sled needs a lane of floor most spare rooms do not have.
This guide picks one sensible option for each station, using Amazon's product data on the date shown above, and costs out two home setups. Where we quote race standards below, they come from the official HYROX Singles Rulebook for the 2025/26 season: eight 1 km runs, each followed by a station. Standards change between seasons, so check the current rulebook before you buy weights. This is research from published specifications, not hands-on testing.

Machines
The machines: rower, ski erg and a running surface
These are the big-ticket items, and the ones worth buying first because they are hardest to substitute.
Concept2 RowErg (PM5)
Race-style rowing is usually done on Concept2 machines, and Concept2 states that its RowErg and SkiErg are used at every HYROX event, so training on a RowErg means your splits translate directly. The race row is 1,000 m with the damper preset to 6, per the 2025/26 rulebook. Concept2 sells it on Amazon at $990, with a 500 lb user rating and a 5-year frame warranty on the listing. It needs about 9 x 4 ft in use but splits in two and stands upright. See the best rowing machines for alternatives.

Clearance: Concept2 recommends a 9 x 4 ft space for use. Separates into two pieces and stands upright for storage on caster wheels.
Concept2 SkiErg (Wall Mount)
The SkiErg is the space-friendly machine of the set: the wall-mount version sits 16 in off the wall and 20.5 in wide according to its listing, at $850 sold by Concept2. The catch is height. The listing gives 83.5 in, so you need a ceiling above that plus room for your hands at the top of the pull. Our best ski ergs guide covers the floor-stand version and cheaper options.

Clearance: Hardware is included for wooden studs at 16 in spacing; for metal or concrete walls Concept2 says to consult a building professional. Uses about 19 x 20.5 x 16 in of floor space. Needs the Universal Mounting Bracket.
SOLE C80 Curved Manual Treadmill
Most race running is done outdoors in training, but if you need a machine, a curved manual treadmill matches race-style running better than a motorized one because you set the pace yourself. The SOLE C80 is our pick at $2,099.99: 8 magnetic resistance levels, a 330 lb rating and a 72 x 32 in footprint. Read curved vs motorized before buying; for many people outdoor running plus a cheaper motorized treadmill is the better plan.

Clearance: ASTM F2115 clear zone: 78.7 in behind and 19.7 in each side, so plan about 151 x 71 in of floor in total.
Sled
Sled push and pull at home
Sleds are the hardest station to replicate. A plate-loaded sled needs turf or a surface you do not mind scraping. A magnetic-brake sled can run on most floors, but you still need a lane to push along.
Torque Fitness TANK M1 Push Sled
The TANK M1 uses a Mag-Force magnetic brake instead of plates and friction, rolls on all-surface wheels and is described as virtually silent on its listing. That is what makes it usable on a garage floor or driveway. It costs $749, weighs 67 lb, has removable handles for storage and carries a 10-year frame and weld warranty. Note that a braked sled feels different from a friction sled on carpet or turf.

Clearance: Needs a run of floor to push along: a two-car garage or driveway rather than a spare room. Handles remove for storage.
Torque Fitness TANK M3 Push Sled
The TANK M3 adds a three-wheel design, multi-position handles and real-time performance tracking, and comes with the V-Strap for pulls. It is twice the price of the M1 at $1,599, and its listing does not state the warranty. Most home athletes will get what they need from the M1.

VEVOR Weight Sled Push-Pull Running Sled
If you have turf, a track or a field nearby, a plate-loaded drag sled does the job for $132.90. The VEVOR Q174 takes 1 in and 2 in plates up to a listed 276.6 lb load, has push handles and a low T-handle, and comes with a padded harness. It is not for indoor floors.

Loaded movements
Wall ball, sandbag and vest
Champion Sports Rhino Promax Wall Ball 20 lb
Champion Sports' Rhino Promax is a 20 lb, 14 in wall ball sold by Amazon at $58.99. The 14 in diameter stays the same across weights, so technique carries over as you change load. Be aware that 20 lb matches only the Men Pro ball: the 2025/26 rulebook sets 100 reps at 4 kg (about 9 lb) for Women, 6 kg (about 14 lb) for Women Pro and Men, and 9 kg (about 20 lb) for Men Pro. Buy the weight for your division.

Titan Fitness 20 lb Soft Leather Wall Ball
Titan Fitness's 20 lb wall ball is also 14 in, with a PU leather shell and double-stitched seams, for $64.99 from Titan's own storefront. Either ball works; the Rhino was cheaper when we checked.

Shogun Sports Workout Sandbag
Shogun's sandbag fills to 50 lb on this listing and is built from 1000D MIL-spec fabric with YKK zippers and an inner filler bag. The 2025/26 rulebook sets 100 m of sandbag lunges at 10 kg (about 22 lb) for Women, 20 kg (about 45 lb) for Women Pro and Men, and 30 kg (about 66 lb) for Men Pro, so a 50 lb fill covers every division. Sand is not included.

ZELUS Weighted Vest 20 lb
Many training plans use a vest, although the 2025/26 rulebook does not require one in any division (it only permits them). The ZELUS 20 lb vest is a fixed-weight iron-sand vest for chest sizes 31.5 to 45 in, at $52.99. It is not adjustable, so buy the weight you plan to train with.

Totals use the Amazon prices shown on this page, checked November 10, 2026. You will also need plates for the plate-loaded sled.

| Running | Outdoors | SOLE C80 curved treadmill: $2,099.99 |
| Total | $1,313.87 | $4,885.96 |
The essentials setup covers more stations per dollar. The ski erg is the next thing to add; the curved treadmill is the last, because outdoor running is free.
Will it fit
Space for every station
Wall balls need height more than floor, the sled needs length, and the ski erg needs both wall and ceiling. Plan the room around the sled lane and the wall-ball target.

The 120 in ceiling for wall balls covers the official targets: 3.00 m (about 118 in) for Men and Men Pro, 2.70 m (about 106 in) for Women and Women Pro, per the 2025/26 rulebook. See the ceiling height guide.
What to buy first
Start with the rower. It is the station most worth practicing on the real machine, and it doubles as general conditioning. A Concept2 also holds its resale value.
Add the cheap loaded kit next. Wall ball, sandbag and vest together cost under $200 and cover several stations. They also store in a corner.
Then the ski erg or a sled, depending on your room. A tall ceiling and a solid wall favor the ski erg. A garage or driveway favors the sled. Our space planning guide helps you work out which you have room for.
Leave the treadmill until last, unless running outdoors is not an option. Total costs for a broader home gym are in our home gym cost guide.
Recovery between sessions. Race training stacks running on top of sled, lunge and wall ball work, so recovery gear earns its place. See our guides to compression boots, massage guns and cold plunge tubs.
FAQ
Can you train for HYROX at home?
Most of it. A rower, ski erg, wall ball, sandbag and vest all work in a home gym, and a magnetic-brake sled such as the TANK M1 can run on a garage floor. Running is usually best done outdoors. Practicing on the exact race equipment, such as the sled on race flooring, is still worth doing at a gym before an event.
What equipment do I need for HYROX training at home?
The essentials are a rower, a wall ball, a sandbag and a weighted vest, plus a sled if you have turf or a lane of floor. A ski erg is the next most useful machine. Check your division's weights in the current rulebook before buying loaded kit.
How much does a HYROX home gym cost?
Using the prices on this page, an essentials setup (rower, budget sled, wall ball, sandbag, vest) comes to $1,313.87. A full setup with a ski erg, magnetic sled and curved treadmill comes to $4,885.96.
Do I need a sled to train for a fitness race?
It helps, because sled pushes and pulls are hard to replicate. Without one, heavy sandbag carries, lunges and resistance on a curved treadmill are partial substitutes. A sled needs a lane of floor or turf, so check your space first.
