Key Takeaways

  • Program First, Event Second The sim shows athletes where they broke down, but the classes are where they fix it — so never run one without a program behind it.
  • Filling the Heats Start promo four weeks out, go daily in the last stretch, and cap heats so the scarcity is real instead of implied.
  • Five Hours to Under Three Block heats by division so sled weights never change mid-block, and build the schedule around whatever equipment you have the fewest of.
  • The 48-Hour Window The two days after the sim decide your conversion rate, and we hand you the three-email sequence to run in them.
  • 10% to 72% See how PRVN HQ went from 10% non-members at their first sim to 72% at their fifth by repeating the same system five times.

About this Resource

PRVN's affiliate network runs more than 600 gyms, and their HYROX simulations started the way most do — one long, chaotic afternoon that ran close to five hours, with about 10% of the floor made up of non-members. Five sims later it runs in under three hours and non-members are 72%.

This playbook is the version they arrived at by repeating it: the heat schedule, how they block divisions so sled weights never change mid-block, the staffing roles on the floor, and the four-week marketing runway in front of it. The tracking page at the back is what drove the change — three numbers after every sim, and one note on what they'd do differently next time.

These are their operational calls, not a generic event template.
