Hybrid training isn't just for Hyrox. It's a great style of training that combines strength and cardio to get you fit, strong, and ready for anything.
In this blog, PureGym PT Chiara Albrizio looks at what hybrid training is, why it's so good, and how to design a hybrid training plan that ticks all the boxes. We've also shared example workouts, hybrid training splits, and a free hybrid training programme to get you started!
Quick summary

What is hybrid training and how does it work?
While hybrid training has gained a lot of popularity over recent years, with events like Hyrox helping to lead the way, it’s not new. This style of training is also known as concurrent training, which means the simultaneous incorporation of resistance (strength) training and endurance (aerobic/cardio) training within the same training programme or cycle.
Rather than focusing your training predominantly around one goal and style of training, for example just strength training or just running, hybrid training is a structured way to train strength and endurance in the same programme to build muscle, cardio fitness, and capacity.
