Where you can train in Old Harlow.

Old Harlow 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: David Lloyd Clubs, TeamSport Go Karting, Anytime Fitness, JD Gyms. If you already hold one of those memberships, you can start this week without paying anything new.

What training in Old Harlow actually involves.

Where to train in Old Harlow

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

Closest to the centre you have Norman Booth Recreation Centre, David Lloyd Harlow and TeamSport Harlow, the nearest of them about 0.5 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.

Norman Booth Recreation Centre and David Lloyd Harlow 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.

David Lloyd Clubs, TeamSport Go Karting and Anytime 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 Old Harlow

Harlow parkrun, roughly 2.2 km from the centre of Old Harlow, 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.

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.
