Where you can train in Palmerston North.

Palmerston North 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.

What training in Palmerston North actually involves.

Where to train in Palmerston North

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

Closest to the centre you have F45 Training, Jett Fitness and HIIT Fitness, 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.

PNBHS Pool and Lido Aquatic 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.

F45 Training and CityFitness 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 Palmerston North

There is no parkrun close to Palmerston North, 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.
