Performance Behind the Method

Results Across HYROX Competition

The athletes below represent the performance standard and training principles behind The Bayens Method. Some athletes may have used these principles through different coaching arrangements. The $25 per week subscription offered on this page is the self coached version delivered through FITR.

Structure Without the Guesswork

Coach Yourself With a Better System

Self coached training should not mean random sessions, unmanaged intensity or trying to piece together a program from social media.

The Bayens Method gives you the weekly structure, session targets and progression you need to make informed training decisions. You remain responsible for completing the work, monitoring your recovery and following the prescribed intensity.

Why Intensity Management Matters

More Effort Is Not Always Better Training

HYROX performance requires strength, endurance, running capacity and the ability to execute movements while fatigued.

Training hard every day can make it difficult to absorb the work, repeat quality sessions and progress consistently. The Bayens Method uses clear intensity guidance to help you understand the purpose of each session.

01

Easy Work Stays Controlled

Recovery sessions are held at the intended low intensity so they actually aid recovery.

02

Hard Sessions Have Purpose

Quality efforts are placed deliberately, with a specific training outcome in mind.

03

Recovery Supports Output

Managed intensity protects your ability to repeat the next quality effort.

04

Consistency Builds Fitness

Weeks you can repeat and progress are what create lasting performance gains.

Inside The Program

Daily Sessions Through FITR

Daily Sessions

Every session is delivered through FITR with the structure and information you need to complete it independently.

Heart Rate Zone Guidance

Intensity targets help you understand the intended effort and avoid turning controlled sessions into unnecessary maximum efforts.

HYROX Conditioning

Develop the strength endurance, compromised running and conditioning required for HYROX performance.

Aerobic Engine Development

Build the capacity to maintain useful output across the complete duration of a HYROX race.

Strength Endurance

Develop the ability to produce force repeatedly across sleds, carries, lunges, wall balls and supporting strength work.

Pacing and Execution

Learn how to control your effort so you can make better decisions across runs, stations and transitions.

Weekly Progression

Sessions form part of a wider training structure rather than operating as isolated workouts.

Performance Tracking

Log key information inside FITR and monitor how your training develops from week to week.

The Bayens Method app
Heart Rate Guided Execution

Give Every Session the Right Effort

Heart rate information can provide useful context when managing training intensity. The Bayens Method uses heart rate zones and execution guidance to help you recognise when to control your output and when a harder effort is appropriate.

A compatible heart rate monitor can improve the accuracy of this process, but it is not included with the subscription.

The goal is not to become controlled by data. The goal is to use relevant information to make more consistent training decisions.

Created by Chris Bayens

Chris Bayens is the Head HYROX Coach at Shredded Health and Performance and the creator of The Bayens Method.

Since the transition to FITR, every session is clearly laid out, including which zones I need to train in based on Morpheus and HRV guidance. Simple and effective.
