How do I start Hyrox training in Selsey?

Take the three-minute quiz. It asks about your race date, experience, available days, and the equipment you can use in Selsey. You see your full Week 1, dated and structured, before you decide anything.

Do I have to be racing to start?

No. Plenty of athletes start training before they enter anything, then pick a date later. If you already know you are aiming at ExCeL London in London, the programme builds backwards from it. If you don't, it builds towards general readiness until you choose.

Can I train for Hyrox at a normal gym in Selsey?

Yes, and most people do. There are 5 gyms and sports centres within reach of the centre of Selsey. Six of the eight stations substitute cleanly if the kit is not there, and the quiz asks what you have access to before it writes anything.

Do I need a Hyrox gym to follow the programme?

No. The quiz asks what you train with, a full Hyrox gym, a standard commercial gym, or a home setup, and your plan only includes work you can actually do. Substitutions are built in for every station.

I've never done Hyrox. Is this for beginners?

Yes. The First Race programme takes complete beginners to the finish line in 12 weeks. Ben coaches athletes from their first session to professional level, and the programming scales the same way.

How much does it cost?

Pricing is tailored to your goals and there is a cost-effective option for every budget. It starts with a free consultation with Ben, and you see your first week of training before you commit to anything.

Tell us your race date and every session lands on a calendar day. Miss a week and Sunday's rebuild absorbs it. The plan bends, the race date doesn't.

Your nearest race

ExCeL London

London · expected March 2027

Roughly 103 km from Selsey in a straight line. Far enough that an early wave usually means travelling the night before. Whichever race you enter, the programme is built backwards from that date.

Straight-line distance from the centre of Selsey to the venue. The date follows the venue's annual cadence rather than a confirmed listing, so check the official Hyrox calendar before booking.

Where you can train in Selsey.

Enough choice in Selsey to find one that suits the training rather than the other way round. Ring ahead and ask about sled space and a wall you are allowed to throw at, because those two decide more than anything on the membership page.

What a Hyrox build looks like from Selsey.

Where to train in Selsey

Selsey has 5 places to train within reach. Not a wide field, and it means the sensible move is to build the programme around what one or two of them actually have rather than hunting for a perfect fit.

Closest to the centre you have Dream Fitness, Selsey Football And Social Club and Crablands Bowling And Tennis Club, 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.

Selsey Football And Social Club and Crablands Bowling And 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 Selsey

There is no parkrun close to Selsey, so you will need to measure your own loop. Pick something flat you can repeat, run it every three or four weeks under the same conditions, and treat that time as your benchmark.

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 Selsey

Your nearest race is ExCeL London, about 103 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.
