Meet Kai Han and Henry — Your HYROX Certified Coaches at PURE

HYROX has exploded onto the fitness scene, and for good reason. This exhilarating sport, a fusion of functional fitness and endurance, presents a challenge that’s both demanding and deeply rewarding. As HYROX’s popularity soars, so does expert guidance’s value.

At PURE, you can train with confidence knowing that PURE’s HYROX programme is led by our own highly accomplished and officially certified trainers, Gan Kai Han and Henry Liu. These passionate and dedicated professionals are committed to guiding you on your HYROX journey and helping you unlock your full potential.

What is HYROX?

For those unfamiliar, HYROX is a fitness competition format that uniquely combines running with functional workouts. Participants complete a 1km run, followed by a functional workout station, repeated eight times. This distinctive structure tests a broad spectrum of fitness components, requiring both strength and stamina. It’s a true test of overall fitness, and having the right coaches and training regimen can significantly impact your performance

A Journey of Passion and Dedication: Kai Han and Henry’s HYROX Story

Kai Han and Henry aren’t just trainers; they’re passionate athletes with inspiring stories. Their journeys to becoming HYROX experts are a testament to their dedication and love for fitness, which they share in their own words below:

Background and PURE Connection

Q: “Tell us a bit about your background in fitness and what brought you to PURE?”

Kai Han: “I started being very active in sports at the age of 9, and fitness has always been my passion during my teenage life. Despite graduating as a civil engineer and having worked for 6 years in the construction industry, I decided to leave the field and start my fitness career journey at PURE. It’s a place where I deem the best for me to kickstart this journey due to its facility and environment.”

Henry: “My fitness journey began over 15 years ago with a desire for better well-being and fitness. That evolved into a passion for performance, pushing my limits to become the best version of myself – more athletic and capable than ever. PURE offers the perfect environment to diversify my training, connect with others, and fuel an even more exciting & rewarding career.”

The HYROX Spark

Q: “What initially drew you to HYROX, and what were some of your early experiences with the sport?”

Kai Han: “I was initially attracted to HYROX because of its popularity and, of course, the challenges it possesses. Being a challenge seeker as well as a fitness enthusiast, it’s hard to say no to an opportunity to be part of it. Hence, I went and I conquered.”

Henry: “A friend’s push and my initial self-doubt led me to HYROX. Seeing the stations as everyday functional movements made it less daunting. Finishing that first race was a personal victory. To my surprise, qualifying for the World Championships was an incredible, validating moment, igniting a new level of belief in what’s possible.”

HYROX Achievements and Expertise

Q: “What are some of your proudest achievements in HYROX, and what strengths do you bring to your clients as a HYROX trainer?”

Kai Han: “My proudest achievements in HYROX will definitely be winning the Hyrox Singapore Men’s Doubles for my age group – 2 years in a row. My strengths as a HYROX trainer are improving my clients’ overall strength as well as their technique in conquering all the HYROX stations.”

Henry: “Qualifying and competing at the 2024 World Championships in France was a pinnacle moment, a testament to years of dedication. Representing Singapore and New Zealand with a personal best time was incredibly rewarding. Now, qualifying again for 2025 fuels my passion for coaching clients on the technical, anatomical, and mental aspects of achieving their own HYROX victories.”
