Where you can train in Harrow on the Hill.
Harrow on the Hill 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 Harrow on the Hill.
Where to train in Harrow on the Hill
20 gyms and sports centres sit within a few miles of the centre of Harrow on the Hill. That is enough to choose on what the floor actually holds rather than on which is nearest.
Closest to the centre you have Sports Centre, Lyon Square Gymnasium and Buzz Gym, 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.
Sports Centre and David Lloyd Club - Sudbury Hill 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.
David Lloyd Clubs, The Gym and The Gym Group 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 Harrow on the Hill
You are well served for measured running around Harrow on the Hill. 8 parkrun courses sit within reach: Harrow parkrun, Northala Fields parkrun and Canons Park parkrun are the closest three, Harrow parkrun being about 1.3 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 Harrow on the Hill
ExCeL London is roughly 26 km from Harrow on the Hill, 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.
