There are 11 gyms and sports centres within reach of the centre of Tamworth, The Gym Group and PureGym among them, and this programme is written around whichever one you use. Tamworth Castle Grounds parkrun is your nearest measured 5 km, which is how you will know it is working. Online personal training from HYROX Elite 15 athlete Ben Sutherland, rebuilt every Sunday from what you logged.

Where to run, near you
Free, measured, timed, every Saturday morning. The simplest way to see whether the programme is working is to run the same 5 km every few weeks and watch the number move.

Close enough to Tamworth 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.

[ Gyms in Tamworth ]
Enough choice in Tamworth to find one that suits the training rather than the other way round. Ring ahead and ask about sled space and a wall you are allowed to throw at, because those two decide more than anything on the membership page.
Chains with a site here: The Gym Group, PureGym, Anytime Fitness, Bannatyne Health Club. If you already hold one of those memberships, you can start this week without paying anything new.

11 gyms and sports centres sit within a few miles of the centre of Tamworth. 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 Group, Snowdome and PureGym, 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.
Snowdome and The Fitness Hub 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 Group, PureGym 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.
Tamworth Castle Grounds parkrun, roughly 0.4 km from the centre of Tamworth, 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.
