Hyrox seems like one big muscle festival on Instagram, but in Ghent 13,000 participants showed the real reason for the hype: “You give each other energy”

Thirteen thousand people participated in the second Hyrox event in our country this weekend at Flanders Expo in Ghent. Hyrox is a relatively new sport that combines running with strength exercises. The latest fitness craze is being called the fastest growing sport in the world, and it has exploded largely thanks to social media. There Hyrox seems like a hip activity for egos who get a kick out of their own body, but at Flanders Expo it turned out that it is much more of a sport where all ages, genders, colors and sizes suffer together and have fun.
