From the international model to a local variation
On Saturday March 28, the Halle de Martigues hosted SKILLROX, an event hosted by the istreene venue SKILLFIT Revolution.
On more than 5 000m² aménagésthe participants combined running and functional workshops in a continuous and timed effort.
The format is part of the dynamic of hybrid fitness popularized by HYROX, which has become a global benchmark in just a few years. Born in Germany in 2017, this model is based on a standardized alternation between running and functional exercises, designed to test endurance, power and mental resistance.
SKILLROX offers a direct reading:
- 6 runs / 6 ateliers
- environ 45 minutes d’effort
- solo and duo formats
A sequence without interruption, where effort management becomes decisive as fatigue sets in.
A sporting event turned spectacle
Throughout the day, from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., the event brought together:
- 350 participants
- 400 spectators
- 60 bénévoles
In the Hall, the organization focused on an immersive staging: DJ, speaker, audience as close as possible to the action. Each passage is experienced in tension, each arrival in deliverance. Sport here goes beyond mere performance to become a shared moment.
Derrière SKILLROX, an entrepreneur du Sud
At the origin of SKILLROX, Fabien Nguyen.
Entrepreneur from the South, former high-level handball player and physiotherapist, he is at the head of SKILLFIT Revolution in Istres, a place which goes beyond the classic framework of the gym.
The site includes both a training space and a paramedical center that he developed, and within which he works as a physiotherapist. A double hat which structures its vision: that of a sport that is both efficient, supervised and sustainable.
A frank head
With this second edition, SKILLROX changes dimension.
The meeting is now taking place in a structured format, capable of bringing together participants, the public and the organization around the same level of requirements.
It now remains to confirm this dynamic.
But one thing is already certain: hybrid fitness has found, in the South, a solid ground for expression.
