The best software for Hyrox coaches
8 kilometers. 8 stations. One app to program it all.
Preparing an athlete for Hyrox mixes running, ergs and strength. If your plan is split today between a running app, a strength PDF and a spreadsheet of split times, here is what to ask of your software and how four platforms compare.
Free up to 3 clients. No card, no expiration date.
What a Hyrox coach needs Every session blends two worlds. Your software has to speak both.
Running and ergs are prescribed by pace, distance or zone. Stations, by sets, reps and load. Many tools only handle one half well, and the rest ends up in voice notes and spreadsheets.
- 01
Runs by pace and zone
Prescribe every segment by distance, time, pace in min/km or heart-rate zone. Program the rower and the SkiErg by pace per 500 meters.
- 02
Stations with video
Sled, wall balls or burpee broad jumps: every exercise comes with a video from the library or one of your own. Athletes see the technique before they do it.
- 03
Circuits with a timer
EMOM, AMRAP, for time or by stations. Athletes follow the guided timer on their phone and log the session when they finish.
- 04
Doubles and Relay without double work
Group the pair or the team, assign the program once, then fine-tune each athlete's loads.
- 05
Nutrition in the same app
Meal plans, recipes with calculated macros and goals for each client. No second platform just for nutrition.
- 06
Payments and your brand
Charge for every prep with Stripe and deliver it in an app with your logo.

When to pick another one
If your athletes only run and your method relies on syncing watches and analyzing physiological metrics, TrainingPeaks is more specialized. If you coach strength teams and want to sell programs on a marketplace, look at TrainHeroic. If you prepare athletes for the full Hyrox, with stations, circuits, nutrition and payments, TrainerStudio brings it all together in one app.

Frequently asked questions
What software do Hyrox coaches use?
It depends on their background. Coaches who come from running tend to use endurance platforms like TrainingPeaks; those who come from strength, tools like TrainHeroic or TrueCoach. TrainerStudio brings both halves together, with runs by pace and zone, stations with video and circuits with a timer, and adds nutrition, payments and an app with your brand.
Can I program runs by pace and heart-rate zones?
Yes. Every running or erg set can be prescribed by distance, time, pace (min/km, or per 500 meters on the rower and SkiErg), heart-rate zone, target heart rate or percentage of max heart rate. You can combine it with strength sets in the same session.
How do I program an EMOM or AMRAP of stations?
Create a circuit, pick the format (EMOM, AMRAP, for time, by stations, Tabata or intervals) and set the rounds, the interval or the duration. Athletes see it in their app with a guided timer.
Does it work for Doubles pairs and Relay teams?
Yes. Group the athletes in the pair or team, assign them the same program at once, then adjust each athlete's loads and paces in their own plan.
How much does TrainerStudio cost?
It's free up to 3 clients, with every feature, no card and no expiration date. After that, the price depends on your country and your number of clients; you'll find it on the pricing page.
What about DEKA or other fitness races?
Those work too. Programming uses the same building blocks: running or erg segments, strength stations and circuits with a timer, so you can adapt the prep to any race format.
