WHO THIS IS FOR
Your race.
Your starting point.
You have a strength base. Now build the running capacity, station efficiency, and pacing for your first or next HYROX race. Your training reflects your experience, schedule, and recovery.

Build confidence with a clear training structure and purposeful preparation. - Returning competitors
Use your previous race experience to identify priorities for your next training block. - Athletes pursuing better performance
Bring running, strength, pacing, and recovery into one coordinated plan.
THE PREPARATION CHALLENGE
Prepare for the work
between the stations.
Running under fatigue
Develop aerobic capacity and running consistency, then introduce work that connects running with the demands of the stations.
Strength with purpose
Build the strength and movement quality needed to handle repeated efforts without treating every session as a race simulation.
Efficiency and pacing
Practice technique, transitions, and effort control so training develops more than the ability to push hard.
Recovery that supports progress
Balance demanding sessions with manageable training volume and recovery. Adjust the plan using performance and athlete feedback.
WHAT COACHING INCLUDES
A plan. Feedback.
A reason for each session.
Individualized programming
Individualized strength, running, and race-specific training through TrainHeroic, with ongoing adjustments and progress tracking.
Weekly Loom performance review
One personalized asynchronous Loom performance review each week, covering progress and next priorities. Watch it around your schedule.
Technique analysis
Up to two exercise technique-video submissions each week for personalized technical feedback.
Scheduled coaching consultations
An initial onboarding consultation and progress consultations in Weeks 4 and 6 while enrolled. Further consultations are by agreement and subject to availability; any additional cost is disclosed beforehand. There are no mandatory weekly live calls.
Fueling and recovery guidance
General sports nutrition education, fueling guidance, and recovery habits within the coach’s qualifications. This does not replace medical care or clinical nutrition treatment.
Consistent communication
Training-related messaging through TrainHeroic, with a two-business-day response target.
THE FORGE HYBRID METHOD
Build the engine.
Keep the strength.
Strength and endurance develop together. The balance changes with your current capacity, recovery, and race timeline.

EXISTING CLIENT PROGRESS
Real training.
Clear context.
This transformation comes from an existing eight-week FORGE training program. It demonstrates that client's recorded bodyweight change—not a HYROX race outcome or evidence of improved race performance.
Individual outcomes vary.

APPLY FOR COACHINGBEFORE YOU APPLY
Know the process.
Can I apply for my first HYROX race?
Yes. Coaching is designed for strength-trained athletes preparing for their first or next race. Share your running experience and event plans so we can discuss a realistic approach.
Do I need access to every race station?
Tell us what equipment you can access. We’ll discuss practical alternatives and where race-specific equipment would help your preparation.
How far ahead of my race should I start?
Preparation depends on your starting point and race goals. Apply with your event date so we can assess your timeline.
Is FORGE affiliated with HYROX?
No. FORGE is an independent coaching service and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or an official partner of HYROX.
Who is this coaching for?
Athletes who want individualized strength, endurance, or hybrid training with ongoing feedback. Your program is built around your experience, goals, equipment, and schedule.
How is coaching different from a FORGE training program?
FORGE programs provide a self-guided training structure. Coaching adds individualized programming, ongoing adjustments, weekly performance reviews, technique feedback, and scheduled consultations.
Is there a minimum commitment?
No. Coaching costs $350/month and continues month-to-month. Eight-week training cycles provide structure without requiring an eight-week purchase.
Do we meet every week?
No. You receive a personalized recorded Loom review each week. Live consultations take place at onboarding and in Weeks 4 and 6 while enrolled. Further consultations are arranged by agreement, subject to availability, with any additional cost disclosed beforehand.
How much technique feedback is included?
You may submit up to two exercise videos each week. We agree on your submission deadline during onboarding. Unused submissions do not carry over.
How do I contact my coach?
Through TrainHeroic for training-related questions, with a two-business-day response target. Communicated holidays and planned absences are excluded.
What nutrition support is included?
General sports nutrition, fueling, recovery, and habit guidance within the coach’s qualifications. This does not replace medical care or clinical nutrition treatment.
How do cancellation, refunds, and pauses work?
Coaching is month-to-month. You may request cancellation of future renewals by emailing danielvoutsas@gmail.com before your next scheduled payment, or through an available self-service option. There is no additional notice period, and coaching continues through your paid period.
Full cancellation, refund, and pause terms are provided before enrollment.
What happens after I apply?
We’ll review your application and contact you by email to discuss fit. Applying does not enroll you or authorize payment. Your start date and enrollment details are agreed upon before payment.
