HYROX draws people in with a race on the calendar, but the calendar is the problem. The weeks between events are where momentum leaks — members who were grinding wall balls and sled pushes in the run-up quietly go quiet, and by the time the next race opens, half your roster has to be rebuilt from scratch.
- Members train hard in the weeks before a race, then vanish until the next one is announced.
- The functional-fitness crowd chases novelty and drifts to whatever gym is running the buzziest challenge.
- Accountability lives inside class hours — once members skip a session, nothing pulls them back.
- You can post a leaderboard on the whiteboard, but you can't prove anyone actually did the work at home.
How Cadoo solves it
Real stakes that survive the off-season
Members bet their own money on hitting a training goal — a weekly rep target, a step count, a plank hold — so showing up isn't about willpower on a slow Tuesday. The wager keeps them accountable to their HYROX prep even when there's no race on the horizon.
Cheat-proof verification you can trust
Cadoo's AI counts and form-scores every pushup, squat, situp, pullup, dip, and plank straight from the phone camera, while daily steps sync from Apple Health or Google Health Connect. No honor system, no padded whiteboard numbers — just work your members actually did.
Leaderboards and shareable wins that build your community
Members compete in leagues, climb leaderboards, and bet against training partners, keeping your gym's crew engaged between events. Every win becomes a skinned highlight clip they share — free proof that training at your gym is worth showing off.
Frequently asked questions
How does Cadoo help HYROX Gyms?
Cadoo keeps your members training in the gaps between races — the weeks where HYROX gyms lose the most momentum. Members stake real money on hitting fitness goals, prove the work with camera-verified reps and health-app steps, and stay engaged through leagues, leaderboards, and shareable highlight clips that keep your gym top of mind.
How do you stop members from faking their results?
Every camera activity — pushups, squats, situps, pullups, dips, and plank holds — is counted and form-scored by Cadoo's AI from the phone camera, so bad reps don't count. Daily steps are read directly from Apple Health or Google Health Connect. Members can't inflate the numbers, which makes the competition and the stakes genuinely fair.
