HYROX PFT vs Super Human Games : distance, stations, prix et difficulté comparés (2026)

The HYROX Physical Fitness Test (P'F'T) is a short benchmark workout designed by HYROX to introduce people to the sport and show which race division suits them. It runs during the HYROX gym tour, when HYROX sets up mini events at gyms, and it is also used as a stand-alone training test.

The workout is a 1,000 m run (outdoors or on a treadmill at 2% incline), 50 burpee broad jumps, 100 stationary lunges, a 1,000 m row, 30 hand-release push-ups and 100 wall balls (6 kg men, 4 kg women). HYROX uses the finishing time as a guide: 15-25 minutes points to the Pro division, 25-35 minutes to Singles and 30-45 minutes to Doubles. There are no sleds or heavy carries, so it suits newcomers checking whether they are ready for a first full HYROX race.

Superhuman Games is an outdoor functional fitness and endurance competition in Bristol, first held in 2013 and organised by Superhuman Sports. Recent editions have taken place at Greville Smyth Park, with Vivo Life as headline sponsor.

Teams compete as same-sex pairs, mixed pairs or mixed teams of four, with Open, Masters and Vets age groups decided by combined age. Across the day each team completes five 20-minute workouts and scores as many laps as possible in each. The workout themes stay the same every year. Strength & Honour covers heavy lifting such as tyre flips and sandbags, Brutal Beat Down uses bodyweight work, and Unconventional Beast involves odd-object carries. The Assault Course is a military-style obstacle course, and VO2 Max combines running, rucking and hill sprints. The movements are new each year and released 12 weeks before the event. They avoid high-skill elements, so the Games suit both first-timers and experienced athletes.
