Sweatpals and HYROX join forces to connect athletes to HYROX Training Clubs, from race day to every day. Oct 13, 2026, 09:00 ET Landmark partnership pairs a national title sponsorship across North America with a new integration into the HYROX365 ecosystem giving HYROX's global community one home to train, book, and belong, on race day and beyond AUSTIN, Texas, Oct. 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ - Sweatpals, the community platform that brings the world together through movement, and HYROX announced a landmark partnership to help athletes engage with HYROX beyond race day, in their own cities and wherever they travel. The partnership gives HYROX affiliate gyms a way to reach those athletes, build local communities and generate revenue through training events, simulations and open gym sessions. The partnership brings together two complementary elements designed to create a seamless athlete experience. Sweatpals is an Official Partner of North America & Official Title Partner of HYROX Miami, while now also becoming the Official Event Platform of HYROX365. Through an integration with the HYROX Performance HUB, Sweatpals will enable HYROX affiliate gyms to create, promote and manage local training events, simulations and open gym sessions, with bookings and payments handled through the platform. Athletes will be able to discover and book these opportunities through the HYROX Training Finder, giving gyms a way to attract new participants, generate revenue and bring training and competition onto the gym floor year-round. Individually, the title sponsorship and platform integration strengthen the relationship between HYROX, Sweatpals and the athlete community. Together, they create a connected fitness ecosystem that extends the energy of race day into everyday training. Bringing Athletes From the Race Floor Into Everyday Life With races spanning more than 30 countries, 6 continents and a network of 20,000 affiliate gyms training athletes year-round, HYROX has built one of the fastest-growing fitness communities in the world. Sweatpals exists to capture what happens between those moments; the training sessions, group chats, and friends made at a class who become lifelong training Partners. Integrating to HYROX365: Training, Events, and Community in One Place Sweatpals is becoming the Official Event Platform of HYROX365, deploying a white-label solution that fully integrates into the HYROX365 ecosystem. This integration extends the functionality of the HYROX Training Finder, transforming it into a comprehensive hub. Since HYROX Training Clubs are the primary 'home' for athletes between races, Sweatpals simplifies the experience, making it effortless for them to discover, book, and attend HYROX-sanctioned training and community events. With this unified workflow, events will be posted and managed via Sweatpals, while being seamlessly integrated and displayed within the HYROX Training Finder, ensuring maximum visibility and accessibility for the global network. Affiliate gyms will be able to host and monetize HYROX training sims, HYROX training events, and open gym sessions, with bookings, day passes, payments, and member acquisition handled end-to-end. For athletes, that means a new, seamless way to find and book HYROX training at any affiliate gym near them, anywhere in the network - not just around race day. For gyms, it means new ways to grow and engage with their HYROX communities. Title Sponsorship: Meeting the North American HYROX Community Wherever They Are Sweatpals has been named as a HYROX official title sponsor across North America - a natural pairing, since both brands are built on the same belief: that movement is better together. Sweatpals experiences are already taking place all over the U.S., introducing people to everything from strength training classes to morning raves to cold plunge meetups. Through the partnership, the North American HYROX community gets a way to carry that same energy into everyday life - helping athletes find each other, train together, and show up in person between races, not just scroll past each other online. Sweatpals is the app for people who want to experience fitness and wellness in a social way, connecting with others over a shared love of movement. Announcing Sweatpals HYROX Miami Beach 2027 Sweatpals HYROX Miami Beach 2027 will stand as the marquee moment of the partnership, with Sweatpals debuting as title sponsor. Miami is home to a large number of Sweatpals communities - a city that lives and breathes social fitness culture - making it a natural fit for this milestone race. Further integrations and community activations will take place in the lead-up to and beyond race day, with more details to be announced in the coming months. Salar Shahini, CEO and Co-Founder of Sweatpals commented: "For Sweatpals and HYROX, community doesn't stop at the finish line. HYROX has built something genuinely rare - a global network of people who don't just work out, they show up for each other. That's exactly who Sweatpals was built for. As Title Sponsor, we get to bring that energy to life in person across North America. And by building directly into HYROX365, we're proud to give the HYROX community a home between races, as well as through their gyms, trainers, and social Clubs." Christian Toetzke, Co-Founder and CEO at HYROX commented: "At HYROX, we've created a sport that gives athletes a clear goal to train towards.

Hyrox, Sweatpals partner to connect athletes with training clubs. Published: October 13, 2026 1/3 free articles used this month. The social fitness platform will become a Hyrox race title sponsor while powering event discovery, bookings and payments across the Hyrox365 ecosystem Hyrox has struck a wide-ranging partnership with Sweatpals, naming the social fitness platform an official North American partner and title sponsor of Hyrox Miami Beach 2027, as well as the official event platform of Hyrox365. The partnership will see Sweatpals serve as title sponsor of Sweatpals Hyrox Miami Beach 2027, with additional activations planned before and after the event. More broadly, the deal will also see Sweatpals integrate its technology directly into the Hyrox365 ecosystem through the Hyrox Performance HUB, allowing athletes to discover and book training sessions and community events at Hyrox-affiliated gyms. For gym operators, the integration could create another avenue for turning Hyrox's popularity into revenue. Affiliates will be able to use Sweatpals to host and monetize training simulations, events and open-gym sessions, with the platform handling bookings, day passes, payments and member acquisition. The events will be managed through Sweatpals while appearing within Hyrox's Training Finder. "Through our partnership with Sweatpals, Hyrox affiliate gyms can create, promote, and manage local training events, simulations, and open gym sessions through an integration with the Hyrox Training Finder," Hyrox co-founder and CEO Christian Toetzke said. "Together we're giving thousands of gyms the tools to attract participants, generate revenue, and host events year-round." The Sweatpals partnership is the latest in a string of deals designed to turn Hyrox from a race series into a year-round training ecosystem. Last week, Hyrox launched Training+, a digital platform that lets gyms embed official workouts and training programs into their existing member apps. ABC Fitness and EGYM are among the initial technology partners supporting the rollout. Hyrox has also been aggressively expanding its physical presence inside gyms. Vasa Fitness recently agreed to bring official Hyrox training environments to an initial 10 clubs, following an EoS Fitness deal covering 25 U.S. locations. Orangetheory Fitness, F45 Training and World Gym are among the other major operators that have joined Hyrox's growing training network. The company has attracted major brands outside the traditional fitness industry, too. Amazon struck a global partnership with Hyrox in August spanning e-commerce storefronts, music and race-day activations, while Lexus recently became the official national vehicle partner for Hyrox North America. Hyrox expects participation to surpass 2 million athletes during its 2026/27 season. Last month, the fitness-racing brand entered a new ownership era when Infront Sports & Media sold its majority stake to a consortium led by L Catterton in a deal that reportedly valued Hyrox at around $700 million. The deal also represents a major partnership for Sweatpals as the Austin-based startup expands following a $12 million seed round announced last October. At the time, Sweatpals reported more than 1 million monthly users and 170,000 weekly active users, with more than 20,000 new fitness and wellness experiences created on the platform in a single month. Sweatpals has positioned itself at the intersection of fitness and social connection, allowing consumers to discover everything from run clubs and strength workouts to wellness events while providing hosts with tools for ticketing, communication and participant management. The Hyrox deal should significantly expand that role; Hyrox says it now has 20,000 affiliate gyms worldwide. "For Sweatpals and Hyrox, community doesn't stop at the finish line," Sweatpals co-founder and CEO Salar Shahini said. "By building directly into Hyrox365, we're proud to give the Hyrox community a home between races, as well as through their gyms, trainers, and social clubs."
