Where you can train in Mottingham.
Mottingham 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 Mottingham.
Where to train in Mottingham
20 gyms and sports centres sit within a few miles of the centre of Mottingham. That is enough to choose on what the floor actually holds rather than on which is nearest.
Closest to the centre you have Sutcliffe Park Sports Centre, énergie Fitness and MMA Fitness Gym, the nearest of them about 0.8 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.
Sutcliffe Park Sports Centre and David Lloyd Kidbrooke 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.
Better, énergie Fitness 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 Mottingham
You are well served for measured running around Mottingham. 8 parkrun courses sit within reach: Sutcliffe parkrun, Avery Hill parkrun and Charlton parkrun are the closest three, Sutcliffe parkrun being about 0.9 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 Mottingham
Mottingham hosts a race, which is a bigger advantage than most people use. You can walk the venue, you will train alongside people on the same start list, and you have no travel to plan on the morning.
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.
