CrossFit in San Diego, and the HYROX effect
San Diego has one of the densest CrossFit scenes in the country, with well-run boxes in nearly every neighborhood from the Midway District to Santee. The newest force shaping it is HYROX, the indoor fitness race that alternates running with functional strength stations. HYROX has announced its first San Diego race, and gyms such as CrossFit Humanity and CrossFit ATR were among the first locally to build HYROX training into their programs.
If you're new to CrossFit, look for a box with a structured on-ramp or fundamentals program, and visit a class or two before committing; the community matters as much as the programming.
