Terms and Conditions

Interpretation and definitions

In these Terms, “GRITROX”, “we”, “us” and “our” refer to the GRITROX website and services described here. “Website” means gritrox.com. “Services” means our articles, guides, race calculator, weekly planner and related email features. “You” means the person using them. These definitions apply in both singular and plural.

Please read these Terms before using the Services. They explain the conditions of use and the limits of the information and tools we provide. If you do not agree to these conditions, please stop using the Services. These Terms do not remove rights you have under applicable law.

About GRITROX

GRITROX is an independent resource for hybrid athletes, with training ideas, station guides and race-day preparation. Contact us at [email protected]. GRITROX is not affiliated with, sponsored by or endorsed by HYROX.

Our website provides free educational information and planning tools. Reading an article, choosing a session or receiving an email does not create a personal coaching relationship.

Using the website

Use the Website lawfully and respect other people’s rights. Do not attempt unauthorised access, introduce malicious software, disrupt the Services, bypass protective limits or use the email tools to send unwanted messages. Enter only an email address you control or have permission to use.

Training examples and tools are intended for adults. They are not tailored to children or designed to assess a young person’s readiness to exercise.

Training information and your decisions

Articles and example sessions provide general information, not medical advice or an individual training prescription. They cannot assess your health, fitness, technique, injury history or equipment. Choose activities and loads suitable for you, use equipment correctly and seek qualified guidance when needed. Stop exercise if you experience pain, dizziness or other concerning symptoms.

The official organiser’s current rules take priority over our summaries. Check the rules, station standards, weights and instructions for your own event. Read our Disclaimer for further information about using training content.

Race calculator and weekly planner

The calculator produces planning scenarios from the values you enter. Target-time mode shares the time remaining after running and Roxzone across stations using the allocation assumptions. Estimate mode adds your entered splits. Results are not predictions, official race timings, assessments of fitness or promises of a particular finish time.

The calculator models a singles race. Venue conditions, penalties, individual ability and other factors can change an actual result. Check your inputs and compare suggested splits with your own experience before using them to plan.

Suggested weeks are examples rather than personalised coaching plans. Selecting Beginner, Intermediate or Advanced does not assess your ability. You can change sessions and rest days to suit your circumstances.

Saved plans, privacy and email copies

The tools save inputs, optional race dates, session choices and completion marks in your browser. Saved plans have no visitor account, automatic cloud backup or cross-device synchronisation. Clearing site data, changing browsers or using reset controls can remove saved information. Keep a separate copy of anything you need.

Print or save PDF creates a copy on your device. Requesting an email sends the relevant plan or calculator information and your email address to the Website and email service for delivery. Delivery may be delayed or fail, so keep your own copy if it matters.

If you invoke an available assistant integration, the assistant can receive the plan information needed for that action. Its provider’s privacy arrangements also apply.

Our Privacy Policy explains personal information, browser storage, service providers and your choices. Using the Website or reading these Terms is not consent to optional tracking or marketing.

Newsletter subscriptions

The GRITROX newsletter is managed through Kit, formerly ConvertKit. The clearly labelled “Subscribe & receive my race splits” and “Subscribe & receive my weekly plan” forms subscribe you to GRITROX training tips and updates and request an emailed copy. New subscribers must confirm their subscription through Kit before the requested copy is sent. Existing confirmed subscribers do not need to confirm again. The calculator, planner and print/save PDF options remain available without subscribing. You can unsubscribe using the link in a newsletter or by contacting [email protected]. See our newsletter privacy information.

Intellectual property

Original GRITROX material is protected where rights exist under applicable copyright, trademark and other laws. Third-party photographs, videos, quotations, trademarks and software remain subject to their owners’ rights and licences. An embedded video is not a claim that GRITROX owns it.

You may read our pages, link to them and keep a personal copy of your plan. For reproduction or commercial distribution beyond what the law permits, contact us for permission. Credit alone does not replace permission when it is required. Nothing here restricts quotation, accessibility uses or other statutory exceptions. See our Copyright notice.

Third-party links and embedded content

The Website may link to other websites or embed content such as YouTube videos. Those services have their own terms and privacy practices. A link or embed does not by itself imply endorsement or a commercial relationship.

We do not control third-party pages or their availability. Review their terms before using them and report broken or misleading references to us. This section does not exclude responsibility we may have for our own actions.

Availability and access restrictions

We aim to keep the Services useful and accurate, but pages, tools and external references can contain errors or become outdated. We may correct content, maintain systems or change features. Uninterrupted access and compatibility with every device cannot be promised.

We may restrict access where reasonably necessary to protect the Website, comply with law or respond to misuse or a serious breach of these Terms. Restrictions should be proportionate to the issue. Where practicable, we will explain a restriction and provide a way to raise a concern.

Responsibility and your legal rights

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or any other liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited. Your applicable consumer and data-protection rights remain in place.

If our failure to take reasonable care or breach of a legal duty causes loss, our responsibility is determined under applicable law. These Terms do not impose a fixed monetary cap on a claim or require you to waive a remedy available under that law.

The limits of the tools and educational content described above explain what the Services do; they are not a blanket exclusion of responsibility for our own fault.

Questions, complaints and disputes

Please contact [email protected] with the relevant page address and a description of the problem so we can try to resolve it. You do not have to complete an informal process before exercising a legal right.

Nothing in these Terms prevents you from relying on mandatory protections applicable where you live, contacting a regulator or bringing a claim in a court with jurisdiction.

Severability and waiver

If a provision is found unlawful or unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue where they can operate fairly without it. A delay in enforcing a right does not by itself give up that right.

Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms to reflect changes to the Services, legal requirements or corrections. We will show the revision date and give appropriate notice of material changes where required. Changes will not retrospectively remove rights you already have.

Contact and corrections

For questions about these Terms, permissions, accessibility problems or corrections, email [email protected]. Include the relevant page address and a short explanation. Please do not send medical records, passwords or other sensitive information.
