6 Best CrossFit & HYROX Gyms in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

Where the gyms are

The gyms spread across the west and north of the city. Pick one near where you sleep, because traffic is slow at peak hours.

• Bangsar: CrossFit Lah is an 8-minute walk from Bangsar Train Station.
• Solaris Dutamas: CrossFit Vidatha sits at Publika.
• Mont Kiara: HIITREBEL runs HYROX, cycling and lifting.
• Taman U-Thant: PassionFit is in central Kuala Lumpur.
• Jalan Ipoh: HYBE Lab focuses on HYROX and recovery.
• Ara Damansara: CrossFit Pahlawan is on the Citta Mall rooftop. This is in Petaling Jaya, just outside the city line.

The newer HYROX and hybrid scene clusters around Bangsar, Bukit Kiara, Mont Kiara, Sri Hartamas and Damansara Heights.
