Where you can train in Borehamwood.
Borehamwood 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 Borehamwood.
Where to train in Borehamwood
20 gyms and sports centres sit within a few miles of the centre of Borehamwood. That is enough to choose on what the floor actually holds rather than on which is nearest.
Closest to the centre you have The Venue, The Farm Gym and Elstree Lawn Tennis Club, the nearest of them about 1.1 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.
The Venue and Elstree Lawn Tennis Club 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 Borehamwood
You are well served for measured running around Borehamwood. 8 parkrun courses sit within reach: Aldenham parkrun, Canons Park parkrun and Sunny Hill parkrun are the closest three, Aldenham parkrun being about 2.8 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 Borehamwood
ExCeL London is roughly 27 km from Borehamwood, 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.
