Aldridge 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.

20 gyms and sports centres sit within a few miles of the centre of Aldridge. That is enough to choose on what the floor actually holds rather than on which is nearest.
Closest to the centre you have Colossus Gym, Goodsell Gym and Sports Gym, the nearest of them about 0.1 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.
Colossus Gym and Aldridge Airport Outdoor Activity Centre 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.
You are well served for measured running around Aldridge. 5 parkrun courses sit within reach: Walsall Arboretum parkrun, Chasewater parkrun and Sutton Park parkrun are the closest three, Walsall Arboretum parkrun being about 3.9 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.
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.
