Hyrox training in Aldershot,
built around your race.

Where to train in Aldershot

20 gyms and sports centres sit within a few miles of the centre of Aldershot. That is enough to choose on what the floor actually holds rather than on which is nearest.

Closest to the centre you have Baileys Gym, A.R.D. Training Camp and Studio-1 Fitness, the nearest of them about 0.2 km out. Ring before you join and ask two questions: is there floor space to push a sled, and can you throw a ball at a wall. Those answers decide more than any membership tier.

Alpine Snowsports and Rushmoor Gymnastics Academy are listed as sports centres rather than gyms. Multi-use sites are usually where the floor space is, which tends to be where the sled and carry work ends up happening.

PureGym, Nuffield Health Fitness & Wellbeing and David Lloyd Clubs have sites here, so an existing membership may already cover you. If you are joining from scratch, a rolling monthly contract is worth the few extra pounds while you work out which sessions you actually turn up for.

Where to run around Aldershot

You are well served for measured running around Aldershot. 3 parkrun courses sit within reach: Rushmoor parkrun, Frimley Lodge parkrun and Edenbrook Country parkrun are the closest three, Rushmoor parkrun being about 2.1 km out. Use one as your fixed benchmark and run it in the same conditions each time, or the number tells you nothing.

They spread from roughly 2 km out to 8 km, so pick one as the benchmark rather than running whichever is convenient — a different course is a different number.

Racing from Aldershot

Your nearest race is ExCel, about 62 km away. Far enough that an early wave means going the night before, which is worth budgeting for at the point you enter rather than the week before.

Between the race and the 20 places to train listed here, the constraint is rarely equipment. It is the calendar, which is why the programme is dated to a day rather than numbered by week.
