ARE you HY-curious? Do you fancy a shot at the fitness challenge that is setting the world ablaze, but are not quite sure if it's really for you?

Well, gym chain giants FLYEfit may have some answers.

Next month, at their Swords gym in Dublin, they will stage their first ever HYROX Simulation outdoor event — and they are inviting fitness enthusiasts of all levels to take part.

The more than 200 expected participants will be put through their paces in a unique training experience, designed to mimic the format and intensity of an official HYROX race.

According to FLYEfit, participants are offered “a real taste of the HYROX experience in a supportive and accessible environment”.

The event is open to both singles and doubles teams, and will feature live DJ sets from Spin1038 to keep the energy high.

There will also be official timing to simulate race conditions, along with free goodies, coffee, and recovery zones.

Mini sessions will be led by expert coaches focusing on pacing and strategy, ensuring the event is both challenging and fun.

HYROX returns to Dublin in November, so this is the perfect opportunity to get in shape for the eagerly-anticipated competition.

The FLYEfit event takes place on Saturday, August 23, from 9am to 3pm
