It’s Hyrox season in South Africa with the Johannesburg edition happening the last weekend of May 2026. Whilst fitness enthusiasts are busy with the final preparations, personal care brand Nivea has entered the arena as the official personal care brand partner for Hyrox South Africa.
The Nivea and Hyrox partnership dubbed ‘performance demands care’ was announced at a brunch event held in Johannesburg on the 21st of May. To pioneer the partnership, Nivea has appointed four of the hottest fitness influencers in the country right now as brand ambassadors for Hyrox.
