Where you can train in North Watford.

North Watford 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: The Gym, David Lloyd Clubs, TeamSport Go Karting, PureGym, Anytime Fitness. If you already hold one of those memberships, you can start this week without paying anything new.

What training in North Watford actually involves.

Where to train in North Watford

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

Closest to the centre you have The Gym, Watford Leisure Centre Woodside and Radlett Road Multi Use Game Area, the nearest of them about 1.1 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.

Watford Leisure Centre Woodside and Radlett Road Multi Use Game Area 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.

The Gym, David Lloyd Clubs and TeamSport Go Karting 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 North Watford

You are well served for measured running around North Watford. 7 parkrun courses sit within reach: Cassiobury parkrun, Leavesden Country parkrun and Holywell King George V Playing Fields parkrun are the closest three, Cassiobury parkrun being about 2.7 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.
