Where to train in Düsseldorf

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

Closest to the centre you have De Medici Movement & Spa, Fitness First and Holmes Place, the nearest of them about 0.3 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.

Olymp and Medicosport Engelmayer+ Physiotherapie Engelmayer 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.

Fitness First, Holmes Place and Beat81 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 Düsseldorf

There is no parkrun close to Düsseldorf, 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.
