Hybrid Theory Members is the training companion for members of Hybrid Theory in Christchurch. Your programming, your scores, and the gym whiteboard โ€” all in one place, on your phone. TODAY'S WORKOUT, EVERY CHANNEL Open the app and today's session is already there. Follow your program across all four channels: - Hybrid Engine โ€” HYROX, Sweat, Endurance and Teams - Hybrid Strong โ€” Compete and Train - Hybrid Barbell โ€” Olympic lifting - Hybrid Flow โ€” gymnastics Every piece comes with the coach's brief and scaling, so you walk in knowing exactly what to do. LOG YOUR SCORE IN SECONDS Tap in your result the moment you finish โ€” for time, rounds and reps, total reps, load, calories, distance, or just a note. Multi-part workout? Log each piece on its own. Choose your division, keep a result private if you'd rather, and leave a note for future-you. THE DAILY WHITEBOARD See how the whole gym went. The whiteboard ranks every result for the day, filters by division, and highlights your own line so you can find yourself at a glance. BENCHMARKS & PRS Your PRs across the classics, the lifts and the engine tests, kept in one place. Every benchmark shows your best and your full attempt history, so you always know the number to beat. BRING YOUR HISTORY Coming across from PushPress or SugarWOD? Export your scores and import the CSV โ€” your past results fold straight into your history, and anything that matches a benchmark shows up under Benchmarks automatically. Nothing is lost: anything that can't be read cleanly is kept as a note against the date. STAY IN THE LOOP Turn on notifications to know the moment the week's workouts drop and when class updates land. SIGNING IN Hybrid Theory Members is for current members. Sign in with the email your membership is under โ€” we email you a 6-digit code, so there's no password to remember. Not a member yet? Come see us at the gym or visit hybridtheory.co.nz.
