Where you can train in Barnt Green.
Barnt Green 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 Barnt Green.
Where to train in Barnt Green
20 gyms and sports centres sit within a few miles of the centre of Barnt Green. That is enough to choose on what the floor actually holds rather than on which is nearest.
Closest to the centre you have Barnt Green Sports Club, Tree Trek and Junior Tree Trek, the nearest of them about 1.5 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.
Barnt Green Sports Club and Tree Trek 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.
Nuffield Health Fitness & Wellbeing has a site 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 Barnt Green
Arrow Valley parkrun, roughly 8.7 km from the centre of Barnt Green, is your nearest measured 5 km. Free, timed, every Saturday, and the single most useful benchmark you have access to.
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 Barnt Green
NEC Birmingham is roughly 22 km from Barnt Green, 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.

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.
