ATHX Training in Flatiron NYC
ATHX training is a complete strength and conditioning program designed to increase strength, stamina, and cardio endurance. ATHX classes are offered three days per week (Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday).
This program offers a solid alternative for people who want CrossFit-style training without the technical CrossFit movements, and it is a strong option during the Hyrox off-season. CrossFit NYC is the official ATHX Regional Hub for the United States.
What is ATHX
ATHX is a hybrid fitness competition that combines strength, endurance, and metabolic conditioning into one continuous 2.5-hour event. Athletes move through six dedicated workout and recovery zones, testing strength, stamina, and endurance. A unique aspect of ATHX is that roughly half the event is spent on refueling and recovering between tests, placing the format somewhere between a Hyrox race and the CrossFit Games.
Compared to Hyrox, ATHX focuses more on strength and less on running. Compared to CrossFit, ATHX places no emphasis on high-skill Olympic lifting or gymnastics. Originally developed in Europe, where it is now well established, ATHX is expanding in the United States. The result is a demanding but accessible test of overall fitness — and a unique training program.
