HYROX Toronto returned to the Enercare Centre this October 3–5, bringing even more intensity, competition, and community energy to Canada’s fastest-growing fitness event. With nearly 3x more athletes competing this year — including our own Resilience Fitness crew — this year’s race proved that HYROX is here to stay.
The Venue
Once again, the Enercare Centre at Exhibition Place delivered a world-class experience for both athletes and spectators. Spacious, organized, and perfectly suited for the scale of the event, the venue made it easy to navigate transitions, warm-up zones, and spectator areas.

- 1 km Run

RF Team Highlights
Resilience had another outstanding year, capturing several HYROX flags.
Congratulations to Resilience members Tracy Williams and Paula Chau for placing 1st in Women’s Doubles 55-59 category. Another shout out to Resilience member Bryan Snow for his 1st place, and Sean Laughlin for placing 1st in the 50-54 category. Another round of congratulations for Head Coach & Co-Founder Andrew Gillis who delivered a standout performance — finishing 2nd in the Men’s 30–39 category and 7th overall.
Andrews outstanding result is a testiment to both Andrew’s dedication and the RF approach to training.
Stay tuned for more results as we finish the final day.
What We Loved
- Tight organization – races ran right on schedule, with clear heat management and transition timing
- Electric atmosphere – live DJ sets and an energetic crowd made every event feel like a celebration
- Professional judging & officiating – consistent across divisions, keeping competition fair
- Recovery & refuel zones – better than ever, with hydration, nutrition, and mobility support all in one area
What Could Improve
- Long Lineups – Getting into the event meant long lineups for spectators.
- Confusing Registration – buying a ticket and then activating your ticket was somewhat confusing. Hopefully the system will be easier to work with next year.
What to Expect in 2026
HYROX Toronto 2025 set a new North American record. Next year, organizers hinted at multi-day qualifiers and expanded heats to accommodate even more racers — including new “Team Relay” and “Pro+” divisions.
If you’ve been on the fence about signing up, 2026 is your year. Whether you’re chasing a podium or just want to experience one of the most inspiring events in fitness, HYROX has a lane for you.
