There’s something new to get excited about this HYROX week. Discovery Vitality has officially partnered with HYROX South Africa – aka the world’s fastest-growing fitness racing series – and it means one thing: more motivation to move and rack up points while you’re at it.
Through this new partnership, Vitality members can now earn up to 600 Vitality points just for completing a HYROX event. You’ll also get two free HYROX training sessions a month through Vitality Fitness, redeemable at 24 HYROX-affiliated gyms on the platform. Bonus: each session scores you 100 points.
What Is HYROX?
HYROX is a unique indoor fitness race that combines running with functional workouts in a standardised format. Each event features eight 1km runs, each followed by a functional fitness station – ranging from sled pushes and rowing to burpee broad jumps – making it both a test of endurance and strength.

“HYROX offers a unique combination of challenge, accessibility, and fun, and that’s what makes it such a powerful fit for Vitality,” says Celeste Williams, head of marketing at Discovery Vitality. “We believe in creating more opportunities for people to move more and live healthier. HYROX adds a new layer of motivation to that mission. This helps our members train with consistency, push their limits and get rewarded for every effort.”
“Partnering with Discovery Vitality is a major milestone for HYROX South Africa. We share a deep commitment to promoting healthy, active lifestyles and building inclusive fitness communities. This collaboration brings strong alignment between our brands and real value for both the HYROX and Discovery Vitality communities. Together, we’re set to grow the sport with more events, bigger race days, and a world-class participant experience,” says Mlondi Mashinini, Managing Director, HYROX South Africa.
With standardised race conditions and a global leaderboard, HYROX is both competitive and inclusive – welcoming everyone from first-timers to elite athletes. In 2024 alone, over 300,000 participants competed in more than 65 races worldwide, and the momentum continues to grow.
