Where you can train in Kimberley.
Kimberley 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: Anytime Fitness, Curves, YMCA, Snap Fitness, Nottingham City Council. If you already hold one of those memberships, you can start this week without paying anything new.

What a Hyrox build looks like from Kimberley.
Where to train in Kimberley
20 gyms and sports centres sit within a few miles of the centre of Kimberley. That is enough to choose on what the floor actually holds rather than on which is nearest.
Closest to the centre you have The Stag Ground, Kimberley TAGB TaeKwon-Do School and The 2bm Ground, the nearest of them about 1.8 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 Stag Ground and Kimberley TAGB TaeKwon-Do School 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, Curves and YMCA 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 Kimberley
You are well served for measured running around Kimberley. 6 parkrun courses sit within reach: Wollaton Hall parkrun, Shipley Country parkrun and Forest Rec parkrun are the closest three, Wollaton Hall parkrun being about 5.1 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 Kimberley
Your nearest race is NEC Birmingham, about 67 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.
[ Near Kimberley ]
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.
