What the data says
Key Insights
Wall Balls decide races
Advanced men average 5:36 vs 8:02 for recreational — a 2:26 gap. It’s the #1 place to find time.
The RoxZone is free speed
Elite athletes keep transitions under ~21s each (~5:45 total). Beginners lose 9–12 minutes just walking.
Pro vs Open is closer than you think
Pro Women (1:27:03) finish only ~3 min faster than Open Men (1:26:42) despite heavier weights.

Methodology & Sources
Benchmarks are compiled from publicly available 2025 HYROX race results and independent performance analyses, then continuously refined with anonymized finish-time predictions submitted by NinjAthlete athletes. Percentile rankings blend this public model with live submissions as our dataset grows. Times include RoxZone transition/walk time as recorded by official timing.
