Where to train in Bexley

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

Closest to the centre you have Pilates Body Studio, The Gym and Crayford Leisure Centre, 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.

Crayford Leisure Centre and Danson Watersports Centre 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.

The Gym and Better 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 Bexley

You are well served for measured running around Bexley. 8 parkrun courses sit within reach: Foots Cray Meadows parkrun, Bexley parkrun and Dartford Heath parkrun are the closest three, Foots Cray Meadows parkrun being about 1.7 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 Bexley

Bexley hosts a race, which is a bigger advantage than most people use. You can walk the venue, you will train alongside people on the same start list, and you have no travel to plan on the morning.

Having both a race and 8 measured 5 km courses on the doorstep is the combination that makes a season easy to plan: benchmark locally through the build, then race without travelling.
