Where you can train in High Blantyre.

High Blantyre 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: Xercise4Less, David Lloyd Clubs. If you already hold one of those memberships, you can start this week without paying anything new.

What training in High Blantyre actually involves.

Where to train in High Blantyre

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

Closest to the centre you have Blantyre Leisure Centre, Jock Stein Sports Centre and KG Stadium, the nearest of them about 1.3 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.

Blantyre Leisure Centre and Jock Stein Sports 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.

Xercise4Less 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 High Blantyre

You are well served for measured running around High Blantyre. 4 parkrun courses sit within reach: Strathclyde parkrun, Tollcross parkrun, Glasgow and Cuningar Loop parkrun are the closest three, Strathclyde parkrun being about 4.3 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.
