01 · Why This Exists

Masters HYROX
needed a home.

HYROX is one of the fastest-growing sports in the world. Masters athletes — 35 and older — make up 25–33% of every event field. We are the core of the sport. And until now, we've had nowhere that was actually built for us.

35–70+
Every Age Group. Every Level. One Home.
First HYROX or fiftieth. Chasing the podium or just finishing strong. What matters isn't where you finish — it's that you're still on the start line. Dedicated age group channels mean you always find your people.
No
Feed
No Algorithms. No Influencers. No Noise.
Social media is optimised for engagement, not community. Masters on the Grid LIVE is a private space — only athletes who get it, sharing what actually matters to people at this stage of life.
Real
Life
Training Around Everything Else.
Careers, family, grandkids, real responsibilities — everyone here is working around the same things. That shared context makes the training advice, the race tips, and the hard conversations actually land.
Built
Right
By Someone Who's Done It Before.
Rob built one of the largest CrossFit facilities in the world. He knows that the best communities work because every level feels like they belong — not just the athletes at the top. That's what this is.
"What made our CrossFit community great wasn't the elite athletes — it was that every single person felt like they were part of it. That's exactly what I'm building here."
◆ Rob Davis · Founder, Masters on the Grid
The Sport · By the Numbers

The fastest-growing
sport in fitness —
and masters athletes
are driving it.

HYROX didn't grow because of young elite athletes. It grew because of people like you — older, experienced, still competing, drawn to a format that rewards fitness over technical skill.

650
Hamburg, 2017 · Where It Started
One event. 650 competitors. Founded by Christian Toetzke and Olympic champion Moritz Fürste. Nine years later it's one of the fastest-growing participation sports in the world.
1.5M+
Projected Participants · 2026
From 650 to 175,000 by 2023. Then 650,000+ by 2025. Now 1.5 million across 135+ international events projected for 2026. Single events in New York and London now draw up to 50,000 entrants across multiple days.
37
Average Age · London HYROX
The average HYROX competitor at flagship events is 37 years old. The single most populated age bracket in the sport globally is 35–39 — the first Masters division. The sport skews overwhelmingly toward athletes in their 30s, 40s, 50s and beyond.
66%+
Of All Racers · Aged 30 or Older
At major events like Dublin, over 65% of the total field is athletes in their 30s or older. Masters athletes — starting at 35 — aren't a niche demographic in HYROX. They are the majority. They are the sport.
◆ Accessibility
No complex skills. No high injury risk.
Traditional competitions like CrossFit require gymnastics and Olympic weightlifting. HYROX uses natural movements — running, sled pushes, rowing. Older athletes can train hard without the technical injury risk. That's why masters athletes flock to it.
◆ Age Brackets
35–39, 40–44, 45–49 … all the way to 85+.
Masters divisions begin at 35 and are finely segmented in 5-year brackets all the way to 85+. You're not competing against people a decade younger — you're racing your peers. That changes everything about what's possible.
◆ Pro Divisions
60–64 and 65–69 Pro divisions now exist.
Due to surging demand, HYROX introduced Pro divisions for older age groups — including 60–64 and 65–69 — at regular events. Older athletes can now compete at higher standards with heavier weights. The sport is building toward masters athletes, not away from them.
"Most of HYROX's active athletes compete in the Masters divisions. The sport's explosive growth is largely fueled by older everyday athletes who want a highly structured, competitive environment — and found it here."

Your host is
one of you.

63. Husband, father, grandfather. Training around real life, chasing a world championship, and building the community he wished had existed when he started this journey.

  • Age
    63 years old · Competing in HYROX 60–64 Open DivisionNot watching from the sidelines. Not telling you what worked for him at 35. Rob is in the same season of life you are — training hard, managing recovery, balancing family, and still chasing something.
  • Family
    Husband. Father. Grandfather.He knows exactly what it means to fit training around a life that was already full. The advice inside this community comes from someone living the same constraints you are.
  • Builder
    Built one of the largest CrossFit facilities in the worldRob has built thriving communities before. He knows the difference between a place people visit and a place people belong. That's what he's building here — and he knows how to do it at every level, not just the top.

04 · You Belong Here

Still in it.
That's the only
qualification.

It doesn't matter if you're chasing a world championship or doing your first HYROX. It doesn't matter if you finished in the top ten of your age group or you're still working on finishing at all. What matters is that you're still competing at an age when most people decided they were done.

That decision — to stay in it — is what everyone here has in common. And it's a stronger bond than a finish time will ever be.

The best masters communities Rob has been part of worked exactly this way. The athlete targeting Worlds and the person doing their first race both belonged. Both made the group better. Both learned from each other. That's the model here.

◆ Newer Athletes
Starting at 45, 55, 65?
You're in the right place.
Everyone here started somewhere. The community is full of people who got into HYROX later in life — and there is no better group to learn from than people navigating the same starting point at the same stage of life.
◆ Experienced Athletes
Chasing PRs, podiums, or Worlds?
The training resources, the data, the weekly sessions with Rob, and the peer group of serious competitors are all here. Age group channels mean you always have a conversation happening at your level.
◆ Everyone
Balancing real life with real goals.
Career, family, grandkids — everyone here trains around the same kinds of responsibilities. That shared context is what makes the advice, the support, and the friendships actually mean something.

06 · The Program · Members Only

The Grid Protocol 2.0

A complete 12-week masters HYROX training system built for your physiology — not adapted from a younger athlete's program. Available exclusively inside Masters on the Grid LIVE.

This is not a summary. Not a template. Not a modified program for younger athletes with your age added at the top.

42 pages. 12 weeks. Five pillars. Every session written out in full — sets, reps, zones, timing, and a coach note on each one. Built from current sports science and calibrated to masters physiology. The exact program Rob is running right now.

  • Engine
    30%
    VO2 max · Zone 2 · Sustained outputThe strongest predictor of longevity in adults over 50. Masters athletes are almost universally undertrained in Zone 2 and overtrained in the middle zones. This fixes that.
  • Structure
    25%
    Lean mass · Grip · Mobility under loadTendon readiness lags muscular readiness by 6–8 weeks. Phase 1 is deliberately slower than you'll want. That's not conservative — it's accurate.
  • Metabolic
    20%
    Body comp · Hormones · Fuel utilizationHormonal shifts after 45 change how you build muscle and recover. Most programs ignore this entirely. This one is built around it.
  • Neural
    15%
    Coordination · Motor patterns · Form under fatigueLosing form at the final station isn't weakness — it's neural efficiency degrading. Neural decline after 50 is almost entirely training-responsive.
  • Recovery
    10%
    HRV · Sleep quality · Absorption rateThe rate-limiter on all adaptation. Tracked, scored, and treated as a performance variable — not a rest day.
