Engage Performance.
Build your team.
A one off 12 week programme run by Aran at Engage Performance, taking you and your crew from wherever you are now to the HYROX Melbourne start line. Physio led, coached the whole way, and built so a complete beginner can start safely. The back half trains together in Coogee.
Enquire nowHYROX Melbourne, 9 to 13 December 2026
The whole 12 weeks works backwards from this date. Enrolment closes when training starts in mid September, and once the team is set that is it until the next one.
Twelve weeks, three phases
One clear build, so you always know what to do and you never train alone. You do not need to be fit to start. You need twelve weeks and a team.
Build the base
Start from anywhere. A structured app based plan builds your engine, with weekly check ins and form guidance from Aran.
Sharpen together
The squad trains as one in Coogee. Tuesday runs and Thursday stations, plus full HYROX simulations so race day feels familiar.
Race as a team
The squad travels to HYROX Melbourne and races together from 9 to 13 December, then celebrates it properly.
Pick your spot
Two ways in. Take it on solo, or grab a partner and race as a pair. Payment plans are available, ask Engage when you enquire.
The full 12 week programme. Remote base, in person sessions, HYROX simulations and race prep.
Sign up with a partner and take on Melbourne together. Same full programme at a better rate.
What you pay, and who you pay it to
Engage Performance runs its sessions at Coogee Diggers as part of the Diggers Partnership Program. The coaching is Aran's to deliver and to charge for. Facility access is ours. Keeping the two separate keeps it simple.
- The Engage programme fee is $150 per month single, or $125 per month each for doubles. Paid direct to Engage Performance. It is not charged to your Diggers account or direct debit, and it does not change your membership rate, term or access.
- Enrolment and enquiries go to Engage. Not through Diggers reception and not through the Diggers app.
- Entry to Diggers for squad sessions is free. You do not need a Diggers membership or a day pass to train with Engage.
- Want more than the session? A day pass is $25. If you want a full workout or the run of the club outside your squad session, that is a $25 day pass at reception, covering weights, cardio, the heated 25m pool, sauna and steam room.
- Diggers members pay nothing extra to us. Your membership already covers the whole building before and after the session.
What is included
Full 12 week programme
Periodised, HYROX specific training that builds to race day. No guesswork about what to do each week.
In person squad sessions
Coached Tuesday runs and Thursday stations in Coogee through the 8 week block.
HYROX simulations
Full race run throughs with the squad, so the format, pacing and pain are familiar before Melbourne. Included at no extra charge.
Physio led programming
Built by a qualified physiotherapist, so you can train hard and stay on the road.
The team and the socials
A crew chasing the same goal. Group chat, sessions, dinners and post race celebrations.
Race week game plan
Pacing, station strategy and taper, so you turn up to Melbourne ready rather than hoping.
Squad entry is free. The rest of the club is separate.

Twelve weeks of hard training deserves somewhere to recover. Seven days of full access to see whether the rest of the building suits you. Weights, cardio, the HYROX zone, the only heated 25m indoor pool in Coogee, sauna and steam room.
Get 7 days for $49Race specific kit, already in the building
Coogee Diggers is an official HYROX training club. The functional zone carries race specific equipment, so simulations can run the real format rather than an approximation of it. Sleds, ski ergs, wall ball, farmers carry and a full free weights floor.
Then there is the part most gyms cannot offer. The only heated 25 metre indoor pool in Coogee, plus sauna and steam room, all a few steps from where you just trained. Twelve weeks is a long build, and recovery on the same site makes it easier to hold.
Enrolment and questions go to Aran
Engage Performance handles all enrolments, payments, programming and squad questions. Diggers reception cannot manage an Engage booking for you.
Frequently asked questions
I have never done HYROX. Is this really for me?
Yes. Most of the squad will be first timers. The programme is built to take a complete beginner to the start line safely and confidently. You start where you are.
How much does it cost?
The Engage programme fee is $150 per month as a single, or $125 per month each if you sign up as a pair. Paid direct to Engage Performance. Payment plans are available, ask when you enquire.
Entry to Diggers for your squad sessions is free. If you want a full workout or the club outside your session, that is a $25 day pass, or it is already included if you are a member.
Do I have to be in Sydney for the whole thing?
The first four weeks are remote, so you can start from anywhere. The 8 week block runs in person in Coogee on Tuesdays and Thursdays, so you will want to be at those for the back half.
What are the HYROX simulations?
Full race run throughs for the squad in the real format, start to finish, so the pacing and the stations feel familiar on race day. They are included at no extra charge.
Can I do it with a friend or partner?
Yes, and Engage would encourage it. You can race singles or doubles, and there is a better rate when you sign up as a pair.
When does it start and can I still join?
Training starts mid September and enrolment closes when it does. Once the squad is set, that is it until the next one. If you are reading this in September, enquire now rather than later.
Do I need a Diggers membership?
No. Entry for your squad sessions is free whether you are a member or not. You only pay Diggers if you want to use the wider facilities, either with a $25 day pass or a membership.
Is the programme fee part of my Diggers membership?
No. Engage Performance is an independent partner. Their fee is separate, is paid to them, and is never charged to your Diggers account or direct debit. Your membership rate, term and access do not change.
What if I have a question about my Diggers membership or day pass?
That one is ours. Email gym@coogeediggers.com.au or ask at reception.
Where do I park?
We are on the corner of Byron and Carr in Coogee. Street parking is around, and it is quieter in the evenings than most times of the week.
Come for the HYROX. Stay for the people.
