About
A gym built to
finish first.
Banzer Athletics was founded on a simple belief: Hyrox rewards the athletes who prepare like it's a sport — because it is.
Founder's note
Hi, I'm Jhanine.
I opened Banzer Athletics because I couldn't find a gym that took Hyrox as seriously as the athletes training for it. Endurance was programmed by feel. Strength days were borrowed from CrossFit. No one was coaching transitions, pacing, or station economy.
So I built the place I wished existed — a facility where every class is race-modelled, every coach is certified, and every athlete, from first-timer to Pro, knows exactly what the block is for.
Banzer isn't the loudest gym in town. We don't need to be. The numbers on the clock speak loud enough.

What we stand for
Four values.
No fluff.
Intent over volume
Every rep serves the race. If a session doesn't make you better at Hyrox, it doesn't make the board.
Coaching first
No streamed classes. No app shortcuts. A real coach, on the floor, every session.
Inclusive by default
Pro Division finisher or day-one runner — the same door, the same standards, the same respect.
Measurable progress
You'll know your splits, your 1RMs and your station times. Feelings don't win races.
