Close enough to South Croydon to get there on race morning without staying over, and close enough to walk the venue beforehand if you want to. Whichever race you enter, the programme is built backwards from that date.

Where you can train in South Croydon.
South Croydon 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: F45 Training, Virgin Active, Nuffield Health Fitness & Wellbeing, London Climbing Centres, The Gym. If you already hold one of those memberships, you can start this week without paying anything new.

What training in South Croydon actually involves.
Where to train in South Croydon
20 gyms and sports centres sit within a few miles of the centre of South Croydon. That is enough to choose on what the floor actually holds rather than on which is nearest.
Closest to the centre you have South Croydon Sports Club, St. Paul's Lawn Tennis & Croquet Club and F45 Training, 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.
South Croydon Sports Club and St. Paul's Lawn Tennis & Croquet Club 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, Virgin Active and Nuffield Health Fitness & Wellbeing 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 South Croydon
You are well served for measured running around South Croydon. 8 parkrun courses sit within reach: Lloyd parkrun, Croydon, Roundshaw Downs parkrun and South Norwood parkrun are the closest three, Lloyd parkrun, Croydon being about 1 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.

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.
