TRAINing for hyrox?
BUILD THE FITNESS, ENDURANCE AND STRENGTH TO COMPETE
Whilst Exeter Golf and Country Club is not an affiliated HYROX or CrossFit gym, membership can provide everything you need to train, prepare and recover for events.
Preparation doesn’t need to be about doing the same workout repeatedly – instead training for the different elements is a great way to progress.
Build your aerobic fitness and endurance with running, rowing, ski erg, bike erg, and the s-drive.
Develop your strength with a wide range of plate and pin loaded equipment, squat racks, Smith Machine, cable machines and free weights.
Improve your conditioning and functional movement with regular Functional Fitness classes with expert coaches.
Support your Hyrox training with yoga, pilates, sauna and hot tub sessions.
Fuel your training with pre and post workout food and drinks to build lean muscle.
Our gym, Functional Fitness classes and Personal Training give you different ways to develop the fitness required for a hybrid challenge – while building fitness that transfers far beyond race day.
UNLIMITED CLASSES
Stay motivated with more than 90 weekly group exercise classes, including Functional Fitness, Strength, Circuits, Spin, Pilates, Yoga, Les Mills BODYPUMP™ and BODYBALANCE™, plus classes for every fitness level and goal.

PERSONAL TRAINING

A big congratulations to our new Assistant Pools Manager, Jamie! Promoted after 9 years as a lifeguard, Jamie has put the time in, worked super hard to develop his skills and knowledge, and is now ready for the extra responsibility. Jamie’s taken over from Grace, who has changed career after many years here at the club. 👏
Run Club, followed by a sunset stretch before autumn fully arrives.
A great route towards the @theturfdevon for a 6k run - with plenty of chat - then a few minutes to unwind together before heading home.
And with the new outdoor sauna nearly here… we might have to make the post-run wind down a little longer with some heat therapy next week!
RUN CLUB - free for all members
Wednesday, 6.15pm
All levels welcome - including beginners.
The 8.15am sweet-spot when the gym is quiet between pre-work workouts and the post-school-run / day-off-lie-in workouts.
Back to the Hole-by-Hole Guide to Exeter Golf and Country Club golf course, and we’re up to Hole 4.
After a long, hot summer, the course is slowly turning green again, so it feels like the perfect time to restart our Hole by Hole Guide to the golf course. Swipe 👉 for holes 3, 2 and 1.
Narrated by sports broadcasting legend Steve Rider and written by our Director of Golf, Darren Everett, the series takes a closer look at each hole and the challenges it presents.
And Hole 4 proves that length isn’t everything when it comes to a tough par 3.
With an elevated front surrounded by bunkers and a small putting surface, a well-struck shot is essential to generate enough height to stop the ball on the green. Add a wind blowing from behind and judging the shot becomes even more challenging.
Short on length. Not short on challenge.
Follow along as we continue the guide, one hole at a time.

Exeter Golf and Country Club`s Men`s Golf Captain representing England!
Feeling proud dressed in England Golf kit, our Men’s Golf Captain, Justin Powlesland, represented the `England Golf Captains` team in their match against the Liverpool Captains at @caldygolfclub last week.
The England team brings together current and former golf captains from across the country, while the Liverpool side is made up of golf captains representing clubs from across the Merseyside area.
Played as a friendly pairs match, there were 12 matches across the day, with Justin and his partner securing a 1-up win to help England to an overall 8–4 victory.
"Caldy was in fantastic condition and a brilliant venue for the day, although the wind certainly made things interesting - and it was the first bobble hat outing of the year!"
Justin said it was a brilliant experience, both on and off the course - saying a big thank you to Glyn Roddy for organising such an enjoyable day.
Well done Justin! What an honour! 👏
The final preparations are underway for the new Outdoor Sauna at Exeter Golf and Country Club - a quiet space for a reset and time to simply switch off.
Set beside the outdoor pool and surrounded by the grounds, it offers a different kind of post-workout ritual.
Step into the heat, look out through the glass to the trees and sky, and take a moment away from the pace of the day.
Relaxation and stress relief
Post-workout recovery
Muscle relaxation
Improved sleep
Cardiovascular health
Heat adaptation
Mental wellbeing
A dedicated recovery ritual
Step into the cold shower before heading into the outdoor pool - or back inside to the hot tub, steam room and indoor pool.
Heat. Cold. Water. Stillness.
Your new space for recovery, reflection and reset.
Coming soon.

NOT. LONG. NOW.
Sauna. Cold-water shower. Outdoor swim. Repeat.
Move between heat, cold and water for a simple contrast routine designed to help you switch off, reset and leave feeling refreshed.
Your new favourite way to slow down might be just days away.
Our new outdoor sauna is almost ready - and we’re looking forward to seeing it become part of your new wellness ritual.
What if your training wasn’t just preparing you for your next PB - but your next 20 years?
Hybrid training brings together strength, endurance, power, mobility and conditioning to build a broader base of fitness - the kind that helps you stay strong, capable and active as you age.
It also happens to be a pretty effective way to train for HYROX, where you need to combine running with strength, power and conditioning, and keep performing as fatigue builds.
The long-term goal? Training for the long game.
The more immediate side effects are pretty good too.
A stronger HYROX. A faster Parkrun. A marathon you’re ready for. More power on the golf course. More speed and agility on court. More endurance in the pool. Or legs ready for this winter’s sking or snowboarding.
Want to build your own hybrid programme?
Ask the gym team, book Personal Training with one of the team, or join Functional Fitness sessions:
Monday 6pm | Tuesday 6pm | Wednesday 7.15am - for 30 minutes of focused hybrid training to build fitness, strength and agility - for whatever you want to take on next.
The greens are showing signs of new life.
Seven days post coring and dressing, new shoots of bentgrass are starting to emerge - a promising sign of recovery and healthy growth.
There’s still a little way to go, but it’s encouraging to see the greens responding so well. ⛳️
Cat Yoga this morning at our Sunday morning session of @lesmillsbodybalance with a surprise guest appearance by Ginger the cat.
There’s something rather special about having nowhere else to be.
A peaceful swim. A few quiet minutes in the Garden Pavilion. Time to slow the pace, clear your head and simply enjoy being here.
Because wellness isn’t always about the next workout or another thing to tick off. Sometimes, it’s the luxury of time to yourself.
We’ll always love seeing the club full of life - but these quieter moments are pretty special too.
We don’t want to rush you or anything… but these are the last batch of our summer Eton Mess Blondies.
Of course, they’re making way for something a little more autumnal. Think Autumn Berry Bakewell, new cinnamon buns, cosy muffins and plenty more seasonal cakes and bakes to come.
So, if you’re still firmly in your summer era, this might be your last chance for a summery Eton Mess Blondie while they last.
Forget the bumps. Rich is celebrating with burpees.
Rich turns 42 next Tuesday, and rather than keeping the pain to himself, he’s decided to share it with everyone at 6pm Functional Fitness.
A special birthday session, hybrid training with upper body, lower body, strength, cardio, conditioning - and whatever else Rich thinks will make his 42nd memorable.
Tuesday | 6pm | Book on the app
Come celebrate with him. He’s promised it’ll be fun. Probably.
The perfect autumn routine is taking shape…
Workout. Outdoor pool. Sauna.
Our new outdoor sauna is almost ready, just in time for the cooler days ahead. There’s something about cooler mornings and darker evenings that makes a sauna feel even more inviting - especially after a good workout and a swim in the outdoor pool.
It’s going to be the perfect spot to slow things down, warm up and make more of your time at the club this autumn and winter.
Opening date coming soon.
