Getting to APX from Woodside
About a 15 to 25 minute drive from central Woodside: Woodside Road (CA-84) east across the Peninsula to US-101, exiting near Willow Road for O'Brien Drive in east Menlo Park.
Plenty of Woodside athletes already build their engine at Huddart Park, Wunderlich Park and Cañada Road. APX Velocity is where they add the strength, stations, and pacing that turn those miles into a HYROX result.
The Woodside home for hybrid athletes.
Woodside's business core is Roberts Market and Buck's — there are no gyms in town, so residents already drive down the hill for fitness. For HYROX and hybrid training, APX in Menlo Park is the closest dedicated option, an easy run down Woodside Road.
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. Woodside's trails and climbs — Huddart, Wunderlich, Old La Honda — build a serious engine. APX is where that hill fitness turns into sled pushes, wall balls, and a HYROX finish.
