The Verdict on Adventure Fitness Athletic Club

A practical stop for visiting HYROX athletes who want group classes, a wide machine and free weight floor, and recovery tools at a modest drop-in price. Confirm the current class fee and open gym hours by phone before you go, because the official pages give conflicting per-class prices and no official open gym price.
