Birmingham · October 2026

The race comes to Acocks Green. That means you can walk the venue beforehand, and it means the people you train beside will be on the same start list. A programme dated to that weekend is worth more than a generic twelve weeks.

Where you can train in Acocks Green.

Acocks Green 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, Fitness First, énergie Fitness. If you already hold one of those memberships, you can start this week without paying anything new.

What training in Acocks Green actually involves.

Where to train in Acocks Green

20 gyms and sports centres sit within a few miles of the centre of Acocks Green. That is enough to choose on what the floor actually holds rather than on which is nearest.

Closest to the centre you have Laser Quest, Air Ninja and Anytime Fitness, the nearest of them about 0.7 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.

Laser Quest and Air Ninja 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, Fitness First and énergie Fitness 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 Acocks Green

Oaklands parkrun, roughly 1.8 km from the centre of Acocks Green, is your nearest measured 5 km. Free, timed, every Saturday, and the single most useful benchmark you have access to.

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.
