HYROX Training
Built for work. Built for HYROX. HYROX pairs running with functional strength and endurance work, and it is built on the same fundamentals we coach every day: strength, aerobic capacity, durability, and the ability to repeat hard efforts. You do not have to race to train it.
What You Train
We have the room and the gear for it: air runners, turf for sled push and pull, and open running space. Train it on its own or alongside your CrossFit work to build a serious engine. If you ever decide to test yourself at a race, you will already have the training to back it up.
Personal Training
One-on-one coaching built around your goals, your movement, and your timeline. Work with a coach to dial in technique, build a plan, and stay accountable. Train personal training on its own or alongside group classes. Your plan, our standard.
Who It Is For
- New to training and want one-on-one attention first
- Working around an injury or specific limitation
- Chasing a specific goal on a focused timeline
- Want a schedule that flexes around your week
Small Group Personal Training
Personal training attention in a small group. Train with a coach and a handful of other people working toward the same kind of goals. You get hands-on coaching and a plan built for you, with the energy and accountability that comes from training next to people who show up.
Small Groups
A low coach to athlete ratio so you get real attention
Coached Every Rep
Hands-on coaching on technique and load
A Plan For You
Programming built around your goals, not a generic class
Built-In Accountability
A group that notices when you are not there
It sits right between one-on-one personal training and a full group class. More personal than a class, more affordable than training solo, and a great fit if you want focused coaching without going it alone.
Nutrition Coaching
Training is only half of it. What you eat decides how you recover, how you perform, and how you feel day to day. Our nutrition coaching gives you a plan built around your life and your goals, using real food you will actually eat. No crash diets, no cutting out everything you like.
How It Works
- A plan built around your goals, schedule, and the food you like
- Habits you can actually hold onto, not a 30 day crash
- Regular check-ins with a coach who keeps you on track
- Built to work alongside your training, not against it

Find Your Path
We map out the best way for you to start, whether that is group classes, HYROX, or personal training.
What to Expect
Walking into a gym for the first time can feel intimidating. Here is what your first visit at Work Ethic KC actually looks like.
Wear
Athletic clothes you can move freely in. Training shoes are a plus but regular sneakers work fine to start.
Bring
A water bottle. We have filtered water available to refill. Towel optional.
Arrive
A few minutes early for your first class so your coach can review movements and answer questions.
Expect
A real welcome, a workout scaled to your level, and zero judgment. Everyone started somewhere.
How Scaling Works
Every workout at Work Ethic KC is scalable. The workout is adjusted to match your current ability, not the other way around.
Weight Adjustments
If the workout calls for a loaded barbell and you are just starting out, your coach will scale the weight to something you can move well. You build up over time.
Movement Substitutions
Cannot do pull-ups yet? No problem. Your coach will give you ring rows or banded pull-ups until you build the strength. Every movement has a progression.
Volume & Intensity
If the workout prescribes five rounds, you might start with three. Your coach will help you pick a pace and a volume that is challenging but safe.
