Metrix vs TRYKA : distance, stations, prix et difficulté comparés (2026-27)

METRIX is a fitness competition for pairs that combines a workout with nightclub-style production: DJ sets, lighting and a social recovery area with ice baths and saunas. It was co-founded by Toby Spooner and Will McLaren, launched in 2025, and has held events in London, Manchester and Cardiff.

Pairs move through five stations: SkiErg, burpees, rowing erg, bike erg, and sleds with shuttles. They share the workload however they like. Event listings describe each station as a ten-minute block. Scoring is done by technology rather than judges, with live tracking of every metre and rep, and a prize pool for the top teams. METRIX uses simple movements and is aimed at everyday athletes and first-timers, while still giving fitter pairs a competitive target.

TRYKA is a hybrid fitness race league based in Dublin, which describes itself as Ireland's first inclusive hybrid fitness race league. Events are held in a season of races that count towards the TRYKA Finals, with Series 2 visiting the RDS in Dublin and the NEC in Birmingham.

The standard race is 8 x 800 m runs, each followed by a functional workout: SkiErg, farmers carry, ram thrusters, sled push, sled pull, rower, walking lunges and burpee broad jumps, ending with a 40 m sprint finish. The TRYKA 500 is a half-distance version with 500 m runs and modified workouts for first-timers. Other divisions are Open (800), Pro with heavier weights, Doubles (men, women, mixed), four-person Relay, junior doubles for ages 8 to 15, and the TRYKA Clan for two adults with two children. The league suits beginners through to experienced hybrid racers, gyms and company teams.
