What is MatchRox?
The operating system for HYROX doubles teams. MatchRox is an iPhone app that matches you with a doubles partner on pace, station strengths, and racing style, then plans the race with you: station splits, a pace plan, and projected splits against the field. Matching is free, and the app is in beta on TestFlight.
How do I find a HYROX doubles partner?
Add your race in MatchRox and browse the athletes racing it, sorted by how well you match on pace, station strengths, and racing style. Message the ones who fit, then build your station split and pace plan together in Strategy. Already at the venue? Instant Partners pairs you over Bluetooth.
How do you keep the community safe?
Every intro video and profile is screened before it’s public. Ratings after each race are gated to partners who actually raced together. You control what a partner sees about an injury.
Do you sell my training data?
No. Your training data stays yours. We never sell your information.
We already have a partner — is MatchRox still useful?
Yes. Existing teams get every tool a new partnership does. Build your station split and pace plan together in Strategy, check your projected splits against the field and the podium, share the Race Day packing list, and see each other’s training in the Partner Training Log, synced from Apple Health. It works the same whether you met here or have raced together for years.
What’s Racing Style?
A short scenario quiz — about 3 minutes. Your answers stay private. It pairs you with partners who race the way you do, not just at your pace.
Is MatchRox free?
Every core feature — matching, messaging, discovery, Race Day planning — is available to every athlete. Paid subscription, when introduced, will provide access to advanced analytics, not a gate on finding a partner.
Is MatchRox on Android?
Not yet. MatchRox is iPhone-only for now, in beta through Apple’s TestFlight. It needs iOS 26 or later.
How do you match athletes?
Compatibility is scored across three areas: Athletic (pace and splits), Strategy (how you plan the 8 stations), and Racing Style (how you handle pressure, pacing, and setbacks).
Which HYROX divisions are supported?
Pro Doubles, Mixed Doubles, and Open Doubles. Filter by division when you’re browsing, and pick per race.
Can I import my race history?
Yes — import any HYROX PKPass straight from Apple Wallet. Past races feed your history; upcoming races feed your availability.
What if we’re standing next to each other at an event?
Instant Partners. Pair over Bluetooth and start matching without browsing or swapping handles.
