A fitness data analyst has just dropped something the HYROX community has been waiting for — and it’s turning heads across training communities worldwide.
After digging through a staggering 700,000 valid HYROX race results, one dedicated number-cruncher has built a completely free benchmark tool that finally answers the question every competitor has quietly been asking.
Am I actually any good at this?
The tool covers nine separate divisions, breaks down finish times by percentile, and even drills into individual stations and running splits — making it one of the most comprehensive HYROX performance tools ever made available to the public.

The Numbers That Will Make You Rethink Your Finish Time
Before diving into the tool itself, the headline median finish times across divisions are already sparking serious conversation.
Here’s exactly where the average competitor lands, based on the full dataset:
If you want something simple that actually works, this is one of the most effective tools I’ve used to build strength, conditioning, and endurance without needing a full gym setup.
- Full-body training with one weight using swings, squats, and presses
- Solid cast iron build that feels stable and lasts for years
- Comfortable grip that makes high-rep workouts easier to handle
- Men’s Open: 1:27:56
- Women’s Open: 1:36:20
- Men’s Pro: 1:20:54
- Women’s Pro: 1:26:53
- Doubles Men: 1:16:13
- Doubles Women: 1:28:13
- Doubles Mixed: 1:23:05
For anyone who has ever crossed a HYROX finish line and immediately wondered where their time stacks up, these numbers offer the clearest picture yet of what the field actually looks like.
What the Free Benchmark Tool Actually Does
This isn’t just a leaderboard screenshot or a rough estimate — the tool was built with serious depth.
Competitors can enter any finish time and instantly see where it ranks within their division. The system maps results against the top 1%, top 5%, top 10%, top 25%, and median benchmarks — giving athletes a granular sense of exactly where they sit in the competitive landscape.
The breakdown goes well beyond overall finish time, too.
Users can compare individual running splits, station-by-station performance, and Roxzone transitions — the kind of data that separates a good training plan from a great one. Men’s and Women’s Open divisions can also be filtered by age group, which adds another layer of meaningful context for masters athletes who’ve long felt underserved by generic benchmarks.
Critically, Open, Pro, and Doubles Results Are Never Mixed
One of the smartest design decisions baked into the tool is divisional separation.
If you want something simple that actually works, this is one of the most effective tools I’ve used to build strength, conditioning, and endurance without needing a full gym setup.
- Full-body training with one weight using swings, squats, and presses
- Solid cast iron build that feels stable and lasts for years
- Comfortable grip that makes high-rep workouts easier to handle
Every division is analysed in complete isolation, meaning an Open athlete’s time is never skewed by Pro results, and doubles splits don’t contaminate singles data. It’s a small detail that makes an enormous difference in how meaningful the comparisons actually are.
The Community Response Has Been Immediate
Within hours of the tool going live, the HYROX community began flooding in with feedback — and requests.
One of the first calls was for a top 1% benchmark to be added alongside the existing percentile tiers. The creator responded quickly, confirming the update had been made across finish times, race composition breakdowns, individual stations, and all eight running segments.
Added – thanks again for the suggestion! The top 1% benchmark is now included across finish times, race composition, individual stations and all eight runs too. It also updates when selecting a different division or age group.
The responsiveness alone has generated goodwill — but the substance of the tool is what’s keeping people talking.
Researchers and Data Analysts Are Taking Notice Too
It isn’t just everyday athletes who are paying attention.
At least one community member reached out specifically asking whether a raw, downloadable database of split times existed for independent statistical research. The creator clarified that no separate download is currently available, but pointed toward the open-source Pyrox project as the underlying data source — a helpful breadcrumb for anyone looking to run their own numbers.

I generated the site’s benchmark distributions from the anonymised public result data available through the open-source Pyrox project, which includes finish times and the recorded run, station and Roxzone splits. That would probably be the best starting point for your analysis.
Why This Matters for Every HYROX Athlete Right Now
HYROX has exploded in popularity over the past three years, drawing in everyone from elite functional fitness athletes to first-time race entrants chasing a new challenge.
But with that growth has come a persistent problem — most athletes have had no reliable way to contextualise their performance. Official results show placement within a single race field, not against the broader global population of competitors.
This tool changes that equation entirely.
Whether someone is chasing a sub-60-minute Pro finish or simply trying to beat the Women’s Open median for the first time, having 700,000 data points behind a benchmark puts real, actionable intelligence in the hands of athletes who previously had to guess.
The tool is available now through the HYROX Benchmarks site — and based on the early reaction, it’s only going to get more refined from here.
