Elite-Level Coaching

Led by two Elite 15 athletes and coaches who have competed and succeeded at the highest levels of HYROX. We bring firsthand experience to every aspect of your training.

Individualized Training

Every athlete follows a structured plan tailored to their current fitness level, with personalized pacing and recovery guidelines so that you get the most out of every session.

Purpose-Driven Programming

No random workouts at RKP. Every session has intent, direction, and clear execution targets. Each phase is strategically designed to prepare you for the next stage of training.

Team Environment

Train alongside like-minded athletes and experience the accountability, motivation, and support that comes from being part of a team.

Training Philosophy.

Train with purpose. Perform with confidence.

Complete fitness.

We believe performance is built from the ground up. Before chasing speed, we build capacity. Before race-specific fitness, we build strength. Before intensity, we build durability. The strongest athletes are often the ones who never skipped the basics.

Built for adaptability.

HYROX follows the same format, but no two races unfold the same way. By exposing athletes to a variety of training demands, we develop competitors who can adapt, stay composed under fatigue, and execute regardless of the conditions on race day.

Master the process.

Fitness isn't built in a single race cycle. It's built over months and years of consistent work. Learn to love the process, because the athletes who improve the most aren't always the most talented — they're the ones who just refuse to quit.

The right work, at the right time.

More isn't always better.

Many athletes mistake hard training for smart training. They chase intensity, pile on volume, and jump from one tough workout to the next. But fitness doesn't work that way. The right training stimulus, applied at the right time, is what drives progress and ultimately unlocks your full potential.

Everything has a purpose.

There's a time to build. A time to push. A time to recover. At RKP, we use periodized training so every phase has a clear objective and each block builds on the last. By strategically managing fatigue and training stress, athletes continue progressing season after season.

Meet the roster.

RKP is made up of athletes from all different backgrounds, experience levels, and stages of life, but they all share one thing in common: a real hunger to improve.

More than just a training plan.

This isn't a program where you download workouts and disappear. RKP is built around real coaching, consistent communication, and a team environment. You'll have direct access to Ryan and Colin through the daily group chat and weekly Zoom calls, where you'll receive personalized feedback, expert guidance, and ongoing support throughout your season.

Inside the team, athletes push each other, share experiences, ask questions, and learn from others chasing similar goals. Whether it's connecting on race weekends, attending team training camps, or supporting one another through the highs and lows of training, the relationships built within RKP often become just as valuable as the training itself.

That environment creates accountability, consistency, and a level of energy that's difficult to replicate on your own. You're not just joining a training program. You're joining a team.

Choose your commitment level.

Between race entries, travel, and super shoes, you're already investing in the sport. This is the part that actually changes your fitness and elevates performance.

FAQ.

How is training delivered?+

All programming is delivered through Strivee. Every session includes pacing targets, recovery guidelines, sets, reps, distances, and workout intent so execution is clear and easy to follow. You'll also log workouts, track progress, and communicate with coaches directly through the platform.

Is RKP right for beginners?+

Yes, as long as you're willing to show up and do the work. We coach commitment, not credentials. If you're willing to learn, stay consistent, and embrace the process, you'll fit right in.

What equipment do I need?+

Ideally, you'd have access to the equipment used in HYROX. That said, we can absolutely work around just about anything and help modify sessions based on what you have available.

What if I miss a workout?+

A missed workout here and there won't make or break your progress. If you miss a session, just let us know. We'll help you adjust and keep moving forward.

How is this different from a program you buy online?+

A program gives you workouts. Coaching gives you guidance, feedback, and support. At RKP, you're not left to figure things out on your own. We can adjust training as needed and help you navigate the challenges that come with training, racing, and everyday life. And it's not just about the coaching. You'll be part of a team of athletes who push each other, share experiences, and help keep one another accountable along the way.

Do I need to live in a specific city?+

No. RKP is a remote coaching team with athletes spread across the country and beyond. While we train in different locations, we regularly connect on race weekends and at team training camps throughout the year. That's when the online team becomes a real-life community.

How long is the commitment?+

Month-to-month, with 6-month and 1-year options also available. Meaningful progress takes time. If you're looking for a quick fix, RKP probably isn't the right fit. But if you're committed to the process, we'll help you maximize your potential and continue improving year after year.
