We Found SOUTHEAST ASIA’S LARGEST Hyrox Gym… and It’s Inside an Old Milk Factory?!
Wow. That was literally my first thought walking through the doors.
Imagine this: an old milk factory, transformed into one of Southeast Asia’s largest Hyrox training grounds. Sounds epic? Because it is. Welcome to The Backyard.
🎟️ Fees & Booking – Something for Every Goal
Whether you’re chasing a coach-led grind or flying solo, they’ve got you:
Classes (guided coach): 80 RM
Open Gym (self-coached, 2 hours): 50 RM
This setup is perfect for anyone wanting to run SIMs (race simulations). Yes—you can finally dial in your race-day strategy without the chaos of an actual event.
🏭 The Vibe – Old Factory, New Energy
High ceilings. Wide-open spaces. Room to run.
This old factory wasn’t just renovated—it was built for Hyrox.
There’s a strength & conditioning corner with squat racks and weights, but let’s be honest: most of us are here for the Hyrox experience. If you’ve ever raced before, you’ll feel right at home. The stations are laid out almost chronologically—even better than some real race courses. And yes, there are clear signs at each station telling you exactly how many laps to crush. No guesswork. Just work.
🏃♀️ Runs – Loops That Make Sense
Four loops around the factory = 1 km.
Exit through the ‘Out’ door (hello, race arch energy) and re-enter through the ‘In’ door. Simple, smart, and race-perfect.
⛷️ SkiErg – No Waiting, No Holding Up
8 machines. Positioned near the ‘Out’ door.
Enough for everyone. No awkward “Is anyone using this?” moments.
🦾 Sled Push – 7 Lanes of Pure Grit
Seven lanes. Weights already dialed in—from women’s standard all the way to men’s pro. Need more? Extra weights are waiting at the side.
Heads-up: The carpet is slightly slippery, so double-knot those shoes. But the quality is high—no bunching up like some race courses we’ve suffered through.
🪢 Sled Pull – Race-Ready Rope Management
Again, 7 lanes. Various weights.
The standing area mimics real racing scenarios, so you can practice rope management and footwork just like race day.
🦘 Burpee Broad Jumps – All the Space You Need
Ample room for your 8 laps (each lap = 10m).
Go ahead. Jump like nobody’s watching.
🚣 Rower – Double-Ready Transitions
8 rowing ergs facing the SkiErgs, with generous space between machines.
Perfect for practicing those tag-team transitions if you’re racing doubles.
🏋️♀️ Farmer’s Carry – No Waiting, No Sharing
Not the usual Centr kettlebells, but who cares?
There are more than enough kettlebells to go around.
You’ll do 5 laps from the yellow line to the last pillar—40m per lap.
🚶♀️ Lunges – Organized & Labeled
A whole rack of sandbags for walking lunges.
Organized by weight. Clearly labeled. Grab your race-appropriate weight and go.
🎯 Wall Balls – 11 Lanes. Yes, 11.
Eleven lanes. Plus a rack overflowing with medicine balls.
No queues. No compromises. Just reps.
🚿 Facilities – Comfort After the Carnage
3 cubicles
3 showers
2 sinks
Air-conditioned dressing area (yes, really)
Hair dryer (because post-Hyrox hair is… a lot)
Also: two water dispensers outside the toilets with hot, cold, and room-temp water.
Pre-workout coffee? Post-workout tea? Done.
📝 Summary – Your New Hyrox Playground
The Backyard is an absolute dream for any Hyrox athlete. I have no doubt this place will elevate the standard of Hyrox in Malaysia.
And for my Singapore athletes?
A weekend trip up north for a SIM session is absolutely worth it. There’s no gym with this scale or space in Singapore right now. If you’ve been frustrated by high race fees or crowded training spaces… this is your answer.
