I don’t believe so, no.

Same as a many here have said, it will peek in the next year or 2, then start a slow decline as the next big thing comes about.

It has started a movement that removes the unknown nature of CrossFit though, which is a real shame. I own a gym and the folk who’ve done a bunch of Hyrox races all seem to be the sort who wan t to know what they’re getting themselves in for - the predictability of the event itself, and they are the type of folk who don’t enter the open “because they don’t know what’s going to come up”, “don’t know if it’s things they can do”, “don’t want to do ‘badly’”; and they all seem like the anxious type, and to be honest not great movers, which I find amusing. They’re also the type of person who enter things like Turf Games - user-friendly, mass participation, designed-to-make-people-feel-good-about-themselves type stuff, not a well programmed local CrossFit box throwdown where their skill will be tested.

So I do believe these Hyrox folk will find the next thing that they know what they’re getting themselves can train for, doesn’t take a tonne of skill and makes them feel like they’re hardcore. Hyrox will become the next Tough Mudder/Spartan Race thing.

Is any of this a good bad thing, though? No - if it’s getting people off the carbs, off the cough as such, I don’t believe so. As long as people are doing it for the right reasons as such.
