Hyrox coaching · Charlton & Eltham
Train for Hyrox.
Every station.
Small group sessions with coach Charles Pearton. Eight kilometres of running, eight stations — and a plan for both.
Tuesdays 6:00am · Charlton Lido

Tap a station
The race, station by station.
Hyrox is eight 1km runs, each followed by a workout station. Pick one to see what we coach — every session rotates through these.
15m
Station 2 · Sled Push
Low, stubborn leg drive
This is a posture and force problem, not a cardio one. We coach a low arm position, long foot contacts and the ability to keep driving when your quads are screaming.
Distances and station order follow the standard Hyrox individual race format. Training images are illustrative; the coach portrait is Charles Pearton.
When & where

Fridays
6:15am · 60 minutes

Book this sessionThe £20 session fee pays for the coaching. Gym access at the venue is separate — you'll need a membership or a day pass, which is explained below.
Why small group
Our 1-to-1 diary is full.
The coaching isn't stopping.
We're currently fully booked for one-to-one sessions, and we'd rather be honest about that than stretch the diary and dilute what we deliver. These small group sessions exist so we can keep offering the same quality of coaching while we're full — at a price that stays affordable.
01
Many start 1-to-1
A lot of our clients begin with one-to-one coaching — assessment, technique and a plan built around their race date.
02
Move into the group
Once the foundations are in place they train here for the race-specific work — same coach, £20 a session.
03
Carry on online
When work, travel or life gets in the way they switch to online coaching, so the progress doesn't unravel.
A lot of the people in these sessions came straight from one-to-one training with us, and plenty carry on with online coaching afterwards. Message us and we'll tell you honestly where our diary stands.
Ask about availabilityBefore you come
Getting into the gym.
Both venues are Better leisure centres, so you need gym access to train with us. There are two ways to get it — a day pass, or a membership. Whichever you choose, it's paid to the venue and is separate from the £20 session fee.
Option 1 — Day pass
The simplest way to try a session. You pay the venue for a single gym visit — roughly £12–£17 depending on the centre and the time of day.
- Charlton Lido: gym drop-in is listed at £14.00 as a Pay As You Go visit, or £12.00 with a Greenwich One Card or Flex Adult membership.
- The Eltham Centre: gym access at peak times (weekdays 6.15–9am) is £16.60 for a non-member, or £12.80 as a Pay As You Go member.
Prices as published by the venues and subject to change — check with them before your first session.
Option 2 — Membership
If you're training with us every week, four or five day passes a month adds up fast — four visits at £14 is £56. A Better membership usually works out cheaper if you're coming regularly.
- Better offers Pay As You Go and Flex memberships across its centres.
- Greenwich residents can use a Greenwich One Card for discounted gym access at both venues.
- Ask the front desk which membership covers the gym at your session time.
Not sure which works out cheaper for how often you'll train? Message us with the sessions you want to do and we'll help you work it out before you spend anything.
Ask about accessWhat a session looks like
Sixty minutes, no wasted time.
00–10 min
Warm-up & mobility
Hips, ankles and shoulders switched on, plus a short raise in heart rate.
10–25 min
Engine block
Run intervals or erg work at the paces your race actually asks for.
25–45 min
Station practice
Sled, sandbag, wall balls and carries — technique first, then speed.
45–60 min
Race simulation
Run into a station, repeat. This is where the race gets rehearsed.
Who it's for
Built for racers and beginners alike.
Your first Hyrox race
You've booked a slot and you want to finish strong rather than just survive the last two stations.
Chasing a better time
You've raced before and you know exactly where the seconds are going. We attack them.
Training with others
Small group sessions where the pace is set by the room, not by a treadmill screen.
Runners adding strength
Endurance athletes who want durability and power without wrecking their training week.
Your coach
Coached by Charles Pearton.
Strength and conditioning coach working with runners, triathletes and Hyrox athletes across South East London. Tell us your race date and we'll show you how the weeks between now and then would look.

1-to-1 Hyrox preparation.
Alongside the group sessions we coach one-to-one Hyrox prep at your home, in your garden or at a local park — plus online programmes anywhere in the UK. One-to-one spaces are currently fully booked, so message us and we'll tell you honestly where the diary stands. Check your postcode below to see if we can come to you.
Hyrox session questions
No. Sessions are coached and every movement is scaled to you — the same session works for someone racing this year and someone who has never touched a sled. If you can walk and jog, you can start.
You need gym access at the venue you're training at, either through a membership or a day pass. Both venues are Better leisure centres. Day passes are the simplest way to try it — the session fee of £20 is separate from whatever you pay the venue for access.
Roughly £12–£17 depending on the centre, the time of day and whether you hold a membership or a Greenwich One Card. Charlton Lido's gym drop-in is listed at £14.00 for a Pay As You Go visit and £12.00 with a Greenwich One Card or Flex Adult membership. The Eltham Centre gym is £16.60 for a non-member at peak times (weekdays 6.15–9am) or £12.80 as a Pay As You Go member. Prices are set by the venues and can change, so check with them before your first session.
That depends on how often you'll train. If you're coming to both sessions every week, four or five day passes a month adds up quickly, so a Better membership will usually work out cheaper than paying per visit. Better runs Pay As You Go and Flex memberships, and Greenwich residents can use a Greenwich One Card for discounted gym access. Ask the front desk which option covers the gym at your session time — or message us and we'll help you work it out.
Message us first so we can tell you what to expect, confirm the venue is open at that time and make sure there's room in the session. Day passes can need booking with the centre, so we'll flag anything you need to arrange.
No. We rotate the focus — some weeks are engine and pacing, some are sled, carry and wall-ball work, and some are full race simulations so you know exactly what eight kilometres of running plus eight stations feels like.
Trainers, water, a towel and comfortable kit you can move in. Bring gloves or grips if you already use them for sled work. We supply the session kit.
Our one-to-one diary is currently fully booked. Rather than turn people away, we run these small group sessions — same coach, same race-specific programming, £20 a session instead of a personal training rate. It keeps quality coaching available and affordable while we're full.
We do coach one-to-one Hyrox preparation, in person or online, with a plan built around your race date — but our one-to-one diary is currently fully booked, so message us and we'll tell you honestly where it stands. Online programmes are open anywhere in the UK, and the postcode check below shows where we can still come to you in person.
Most people keep going. A lot of our clients started one-to-one, moved into these small group sessions, and then carried on with online coaching when work, travel or life got in the way. Tell us where you're at and we'll suggest the sensible next step rather than the expensive one.
