Where you can train in Banstead.
Banstead has plenty of choice, which means you can be picky. The thing to look for is not a Hyrox sticker on the door, it is a sled lane long enough to push on, a spare wall for wall balls, and a rower nobody queues for at 6pm.

What a Hyrox build looks like from Banstead.
Where to train in Banstead
20 gyms and sports centres sit within a few miles of the centre of Banstead. That is enough to choose on what the floor actually holds rather than on which is nearest.
Closest to the centre you have Banstead Downs Tennis Club, Meraki Studio and Galley Hill Shooting Club, the nearest of them about 0.3 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.
Galley Hill Shooting Club and DW Fitness - Ewell 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.
Where to run around Banstead
You are well served for measured running around Banstead. 7 parkrun courses sit within reach: Banstead Woods parkrun, Nonsuch parkrun and Roundshaw Downs parkrun are the closest three, Banstead Woods parkrun being about 2.2 km out. Use one as your fixed benchmark and run it in the same conditions each time, or the number tells you nothing.
A Hyrox is eight kilometre runs with a station between each, which means the skill being tested is running on tired legs, not running fresh. Do at least one session a week where the running comes after the hard work rather than before it.
Racing from Banstead
ExCeL London is roughly 26 km from Banstead, close enough to be a normal morning rather than a trip. That is the one to build towards for a first race: no hotel, no unfamiliar bed, no early train.
Whichever race you enter, the date is what makes a programme a programme. Twelve weeks is the standard build, sixteen if you are starting from very little running, and every session lands on a calendar day rather than a week number.
[ Near Banstead ]
Plenty of people train one town over, whether that is a better gym, a flatter route, or simply the one on the way home from work.
