[ Gyms in Chaddesden ]
Where you can train in Chaddesden.
Chaddesden 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.
Chains with a site here: Everlast Gyms, Nuffield Health Fitness & Wellbeing, David Lloyd Clubs. If you already hold one of those memberships, you can start this week without paying anything new.

What a Hyrox build looks like from Chaddesden.
Where to train in Chaddesden
20 gyms and sports centres sit within a few miles of the centre of Chaddesden. That is enough to choose on what the floor actually holds rather than on which is nearest.
Closest to the centre you have Modern Combatitives & Self Defence Academy, The Climbing Unit and Aspire Wrestling Alliance, the nearest of them about 1.3 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.
The Climbing Unit and Springwood Leisure 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.
Everlast Gyms, Nuffield Health Fitness & Wellbeing and David Lloyd Clubs 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 Chaddesden
You are well served for measured running around Chaddesden. 3 parkrun courses sit within reach: Alvaston parkrun, Markeaton parkrun and Shipley Country parkrun are the closest three, Alvaston parkrun being about 2.7 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 Chaddesden
NEC Birmingham is roughly 57 km from Chaddesden, 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.
