Getting to APX from Palo Alto
About a 10 to 15 minute drive from central Palo Alto: north on US-101, off at Willow Road toward the bay, into the O'Brien Drive pocket of east Menlo Park.
Plenty of Palo Alto athletes already build their engine at the Stanford Dish loop and the Palo Alto Baylands trails. APX Velocity is where they add the strength, stations, and pacing that turn those miles into a HYROX result.
The Palo Alto home for hybrid athletes.
Palo Alto has plenty of boutique studios and chain gyms, but none built around HYROX and hybrid racing. Runners from the Dish and lifters from the local boxes come to APX to put the two together on the real race equipment.
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. For a city that calls itself the birthplace of Silicon Valley, it's a surprisingly short hop across the freeway to train the fastest-growing fitness race in the world.
