Gold’s Gym x Metcon has officially launched a new benchmark in functional fitness training in the Philippines with the unveiling of its state-of-the-art facility at Venice Grand Canal Mall, McKinley Hill, Taguig. Designed as a dedicated hub for HYROX training—the globally standardized fitness race format growing fast across Asia—the gym brings world-class performance training to Filipino athletes and enthusiasts.
Spanning 750 square meters, the new facility is fully equipped with HYROX-specific equipment and training zones, making it the first of its kind in the country. With HYROX already gaining momentum in cities like Taipei and Bangkok, the Manila launch marks a significant step in expanding the sport’s footprint in Southeast Asia.
The gym’s cutting-edge HYROX preparation is powered by The GRIN Method, a proprietary system developed by coach Anton Sietereales. The program is designed to optimize endurance, strength, and movement efficiency—core elements required in HYROX’s unique structure of eight 1-kilometer runs, each followed by functional workout stations.
During the launch, attendees witnessed the intense H-700 workout challenge—a mini HYROX simulation—featuring two GRIN Method-certified coaches: Tinoy Borromeo and Mauro Lumba. The event showcased not only physical intensity but the competitive spirit cultivated within the new training center.
Further strengthening its coaching lineup, the facility also brings on board Justin Hernandez, the first Filipino male CrossFit Games athlete and a four-time CrossFit Open National Champion. Together, the team aims to build a strong roster of Filipino HYROX athletes ready to compete across Asia.
Beyond HYROX training, the gym offers comprehensive amenities including strength equipment, functional fitness areas, a boxing club (BOOMBOX), Cobrinha Manila BJJ studio, and a recovery suite with ice baths and saunas.
To celebrate its opening, Gold’s Gym x Metcon is offering an exclusive Founding Membership Package at PHP 8,500/month for the first 50 sign-ups. This includes GRIN Method training, personalized nutrition guidance, full access to recovery amenities, and exclusive member gear.
