Getting to APX from Atherton
About an 8 to 15 minute drive from central Atherton: out to El Camino Real or Middlefield Road, then east on Willow Road under US-101 toward the bay and O'Brien Drive in Menlo Park.
Plenty of Atherton athletes already build their engine at Holbrook-Palmer Park and Atherton's quiet, tree-lined lanes. APX Velocity is where they add the strength, stations, and pacing that turn those miles into a HYROX result.
The Atherton home for hybrid athletes.
Because Atherton has zero commercial zoning — no shops, no offices, no gyms — residents already leave town for everything, and Menlo Park is the closest corridor. For HYROX and hybrid training, that means APX Velocity, a few minutes from any Atherton address.
APX Velocity is a 5.0-star, DEKA-affiliate gym where coaches line up at HYROX, DEKA, and Spartan events themselves. You train the exact race format on the real equipment, scaled to your level, in a room that pushes you. One of the most exclusive ZIP codes in the country trains at a gym with no dress code and no qualifying times — just a 5.0-star room that scales every station to you.
