Inspiration

HYROX is the "World Series of Fitness." It’s a standardized global race format blending functional strength and endurance. The formula is simple but brutal: 8km of running separated by 8 different functional workouts (like sled pushes, rowing, and wall balls). Because every race globally uses the same weights and distances, it creates a perfectly level playing field—a massive, unified leaderboard where seconds separate the amateur from the elite.

Chandran, Roland and Min having a conversation about sports.. marathon running.. before we settled on HYROX. We wanted to introduce AR into, and with a bit of imagination, one can use Hyrox in a practice and training environment without a judge, to feel as though we are competing with others.

What it does

HYROX Pulse adopts Spectacles technology to digitize the physical grind. We turn any open space into a smart, connected arena—no judges or training partners required.

KEY FEATURES

Autopilot Coaching (The Use Case): Take Station 4 (80m Burpee Broad Jumps). The AR layer actively counts every rep and tracks distance covered. The moment you hit 80m, the Spectacles "nudge" you immediately into the run transition. No counting, no cheating—just performance.

Ghost Mode (The Competition): Leveraging HYROX's standardized format, we visualize the leaderboard. Train against AR Avatars of friends abroad, World Champion pros, or your own "Personal Best" shadow.

Split time projection in your physical environment.

THE IMPACT We bridge the gap between physical exertion and digital feedback, turning a solo workout into a global race.

How we built it

  • Scripts with help of Github Copilot and Cursor
  • Lens Studio Lens for Snap Spectacles

Challenges we ran into

  • Integration of different parts in the final project

Accomplishments that we're proud of

  • Hand and head recording and replay
  • Split time projection integrated into your physical environment
  • Burpee counter detects phases of your burpee broad jump exercise
  • GPS + IMU based performace indicators for long distance running

What we learned

  • Working with mixed reality like Spectacles
  • How to mix physical with digital

What's next for HYROX Pulse

  • Supabase integration for persistent storage
  • Leaderboards selection of people to train with
  • More complete body tracking including context replace of weights, slide etc.
  • Automated wall ball judging with sphere detection
