Where you can train in Bishops Cleeve.
Bishops Cleeve 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 Bishops Cleeve.
Where to train in Bishops Cleeve
20 gyms and sports centres sit within a few miles of the centre of Bishops Cleeve. That is enough to choose on what the floor actually holds rather than on which is nearest.
Closest to the centre you have Community building, Anytime Fitness and Bishops Cleeve Sports 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.
Community building and Bishops Cleeve Sports 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.
Anytime Fitness and The Gym 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 Bishops Cleeve
You are well served for measured running around Bishops Cleeve. 3 parkrun courses sit within reach: Cheltenham parkrun, King George V Playing Field parkrun, Cheltenham and Tewkesbury parkrun are the closest three, Cheltenham parkrun being about 4.4 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 Bishops Cleeve
Your nearest race is NEC Birmingham, about 61 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.
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.
