HYROX weights by division follow a clean, predictable ladder: Open Women face the lightest loads (102 kg sled push, 4 kg wall ball), Open Men and Pro Women share the middle tier (152 kg sled push, 6 kg wall ball), and Pro Men carry the heaviest (202 kg sled push, 9 kg wall ball). The distances, reps and running are identical across every division — only the loads and the wall-ball target height change. That means picking Open vs Pro is purely a strength-endurance decision, not a fitness one. This guide gives you the full weight table for every station and division, explains what Open, Pro and Doubles actually mean, and shows exactly how the numbers scale as you step up. Weights are current for the 2025/26 season and can be adjusted by the official rulebook, so always confirm against your event's rules before race day.
HYROX Weights by Division: The Complete Station Table
Here are the HYROX weights by division for every loaded station, current for the 2025/26 season. All sled figures are the total rolling weight including the sled itself, not the plates you add. Farmers carry is per hand (you hold two). Wall balls list the ball weight and the target height you must hit. These loads are standardised worldwide — the same in London, New York or Singapore — so the table below is your single reference point.
| Station | Open Women | Open Men / Pro Women | Pro Men |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sled Push (50 m, total incl. sled) | 102 kg | 152 kg | 202 kg |
| Sled Pull (50 m, total incl. sled) | 78 kg | 103 kg | 153 kg |
| Farmers Carry (200 m, per hand) | 2 × 16 kg | 2 × 24 kg | 2 × 32 kg |
| Sandbag Lunges (100 m) | 10 kg | 20 kg | 30 kg |
| Wall Balls (100 reps) | 4 kg @ 2.7 m | 6 kg (see note) | 9 kg @ 3.0 m |
Wall-ball note: the middle column splits on target height. Open Men throw a 6 kg ball to a 3.0 m target; Pro Women throw the same 6 kg ball to a 2.7 m target. So Pro Women match Open Men on every load except the wall-ball height, which stays at the women's mark. Doubles are covered separately below — short version: doubles teams race the Open weights, not the Pro ones. These are the published 2025/26 figures and the rulebook can revise them season to season, so verify against your specific event.
What Each HYROX Division Actually Means
The HYROX division you enter decides your loads, but the race structure never changes: eight 1 km runs alternating with eight functional stations, in the same order, every time. Here is what separates the formats.
- Open — the standard individual race and the default for most first-timers. One athlete completes all eight runs and all eight stations solo, at the Open loads.
- Pro — the same solo format with heavier weights across the board. Pro is open to anyone who registers for it, but it's built for experienced, stronger athletes; men also need a qualifying time to reach some championship-level Pro fields.
- Doubles — two athletes share one race. You run every 1 km together, then split the station reps however you like. Doubles uses the Open weights, so the load per rep matches Open even though you share the workload.
- Relay — a four-person team format (worth knowing, though outside this weight guide) where each athlete covers two run-plus-station segments at Open loads.
The practical takeaway: Open vs Pro is a strength-endurance choice, not a format change. If you can run the engine but the Pro sled or 9 kg wall balls would break your pacing, race Open. The clock respects both.
How HYROX Weights Scale From Open to Pro
The jump between divisions is remarkably consistent — Pro is essentially one tier heavier than Open. The cleanest way to remember the whole system: Pro Women lift exactly what Open Men lift, and Pro Men sit one step above that again. Learn the middle tier and you've learned two divisions at once.
- Sled push: +50 kg per step — 102 → 152 → 202 kg. The single biggest strength gate in the race.
- Sled pull: roughly +25 to +50 kg per step — 78 → 103 → 153 kg.
- Farmers carry: +8 kg per hand per step — 16 → 24 → 32 kg each side.
- Sandbag lunges: the loads double then step up — 10 → 20 → 30 kg.
- Wall balls: 4 → 6 → 9 kg, with the target height fixed by gender (2.7 m women, 3.0 m men) rather than by division.
Because the reps and distances are identical in Open and Pro, every extra kilo is felt across the same 100 wall-ball throws, the same 200 m carry and the same 50 m sled lanes. That's why the step up to Pro punishes weak strength-endurance far more than a single heavy lift ever would — it's volume at load, not a one-rep max.
Wall Ball Target Heights and Why They Matter
The wall ball is the only HYROX station where a second variable — target height — changes alongside the weight, and it trips up more athletes than the load itself. The target you must hit is set by gender, not division:
- All women (Open and Pro): 2.7 m target.
- All men (Open and Pro): 3.0 m target.
- Ball weights: Open Women 4 kg, Open Men and Pro Women 6 kg, Pro Men 9 kg.
Every division throws 100 wall balls as the final station, with legs and lungs already wrecked from seven prior stations and 7 km of running. A throw only counts if the ball hits or clears the target line and you hit the required squat depth at the bottom before each throw — short throws and no-reps are the classic ways a race unravels at the finish. The 3 kg of extra load between a 6 kg and 9 kg ball sounds trivial until rep 60; that jump, thrown to the full 3.0 m men's target, is exactly why Pro Men treat wall balls as a make-or-break station rather than a formality.
HYROX Doubles Weights: What Teams Actually Lift
HYROX Doubles weights are the Open loads — this is the most common point of confusion, so it's worth stating plainly. A doubles team does not lift Pro weights just because there are two of you. Instead:
| Doubles category | Loads used | Sled Push | Wall Ball |
|---|---|---|---|
| Women's Doubles | Open Women | 102 kg | 4 kg @ 2.7 m |
| Men's Doubles | Open Men | 152 kg | 6 kg @ 3.0 m |
| Mixed Doubles | Open Men | 152 kg | 6 kg, own target height* |
*In Mixed Doubles each partner throws the 6 kg ball to their own gender target height — the man to 3.0 m and the woman to 2.7 m — rather than a single shared height. The strategic wrinkle: because you share the reps at every station but run all 8 km together, the load per rep is identical to Open singles while the total muscular workload is halved. That's why doubles is often the fastest way for a strong pair to post a low overall time — you can attack the sled and wall balls in fresh bursts, tagging in and out. Note that Mixed Doubles uses the Open Men loads, not a blended standard, which is the detail most first-time mixed teams miss when they train.
Choosing Your Division: Open, Pro or Doubles
Pick your HYROX division by matching your honest strength-endurance to the loads, not your ego to the label. Use these as decision anchors:
- First-timer or run-dominant: race Open. The 102/152 kg sleds and 4–6 kg wall balls let your engine — usually the deciding factor — do the work instead of a station stalling you.
- Strong, experienced, chasing a competitive result: step to Pro only once you can comfortably move the 202/153 kg sleds and grind 100 wall balls at 9 kg without your pace collapsing.
- Want a social race or a faster team time: choose Doubles at Open loads — shared reps make heavy stations manageable and the format rewards pacing over raw strength.
- Unsure between Open and Pro: default to Open. You can always chase a Pro time next season; a blown-up Pro debut on the sled teaches you nothing but frustration.
JackedHybrid take: most athletes overrate their strength and underrate the compounding fatigue of doing every station at load after 7 km of running. The evidence-based move is to earn Pro in training first — hit the Pro sled and 9 kg wall balls fresh in a workout before you ever pin a Pro bib. Decisive, not reckless.
Whatever you choose, remember the loads can shift with each season's rulebook. Confirm the current numbers for your specific event, then train the exact weights you'll race.
Common questions
What are the HYROX weights for each division?
Open Women use a 102 kg sled push, 78 kg sled pull, 2×16 kg carry, 10 kg lunge sandbag and 4 kg wall ball. Open Men and Pro Women share 152 kg push, 103 kg pull, 2×24 kg carry, 20 kg sandbag and 6 kg ball. Pro Men lift 202 kg push, 153 kg pull, 2×32 kg carry, 30 kg sandbag and 9 kg ball.
How much heavier is HYROX Pro than Open?
Pro is about one full tier heavier than Open, and Pro Women equal Open Men on every load. The sled push jumps 50 kg per step (102 to 152 to 202 kg), the farmers carry rises 8 kg per hand, and the wall ball goes from 6 kg to 9 kg for men. Reps and distances stay identical.
What weights do HYROX Doubles teams use?
Doubles teams race the Open weights, not Pro. Women's Doubles use Open Women loads (102 kg sled push, 4 kg ball), while Men's and Mixed Doubles both use Open Men loads (152 kg sled push, 6 kg ball). You share the reps at each station but run all 8 km together.
What is the wall ball target height in HYROX?
Target height is set by gender, not division. All women aim for a 2.7 m target and all men for 3.0 m across both Open and Pro. Ball weights are 4 kg for Open Women, 6 kg for Open Men and Pro Women, and 9 kg for Pro Men, thrown for 100 reps as the final station.
Are HYROX weights the same at every event worldwide?
Yes. The division loads are standardised, so a Pro Men sled push is 202 kg whether you race in London, New York or Singapore. The distances, reps and station order are identical too. The only thing that changes between divisions is the weight and the wall-ball target height, and the rulebook can revise loads each season.
