Independent picks
Picks for hybrid fitness racing
Buying guides for Hyrox training, everyday fitness kit, and supplements. Written by physiotherapist Jochum van Brummelen, who races Hyrox recreationally. No shop, no stock, and no test scores.
Who this is for
A physiotherapist
Jochum van Brummelen writes the guides. He is a physiotherapist. The notes lean on load and on kit that does not fight how you move. They are not treatment.
Hyrox, recreationally
He races Hyrox in his own time, as a recreational participant. These pages are not a race plan and not a claim about anyone’s level.
No scores
There are no stars, no reader quotes, and no first-person wear reports. If a sentence sounds like a review, it does not belong here.
How a pick is made
Each guide is a buying note. It tells you what the kit has to survive, and which trade-off to read on a product page. It does not score a model, and it does not report a wear test.
The job
Name the movement first. A shoe that only has to run is a different problem from a shoe that also has to push a sled.
The trade-off
Stability, cushion, space, and weight pull against each other. The guide says which way the pull goes. It does not pretend one product wins.
The label
Supplement notes quote an authorised EU sentence and the conditions attached to it. If the tub in your hand misses those conditions, the sentence does not apply.
The shop
Buttons are shops for the language of the page. English lists US shops. Dutch lists Dutch shops. German lists German shops. The order is not a ranking.

Questions people ask first
Is Hybrid Race Gear a shop?
No. There is no cart and no stock. A guide ends with links to shops that sell that kind of product. The link is advertising.
Have these products been tested for the site?
No. The pages explain what to look for. They do not report time in a shoe, a throw count, or a lab result.
Is this official Hyrox kit?
No. Hyrox is a trademark of its owner. This site is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Hyrox. The name is only a description of the training.
Do you tell people which supplement to take?
No. Supplement pages quote authorised EU health claims and the conditions of use. They do not choose a dose. They are not medical advice, and a supplement is not a substitute for food.
Will a link cost me more?
No. If a programme is live and you buy through a link, the site may earn a commission. The price is the shop’s price. Programmes are not approved yet, so the buttons are still ordinary catalogue searches.
