Where people train in Penge
Cator Park
Open grass and wide paths on the Penge–Beckenham border, good for circuits, bootcamps and steady runs.
Penge Recreation Ground
Flat, open space close to the High Street — handy for one-to-one strength and conditioning sessions.
Betts Park
A quieter park with gentle slopes, suited to mobility, yoga and beginner sessions.
Penge East, Penge West and Anerley stations serve SE20, so trainers here often also cover Beckenham, Crystal Palace and Sydenham.

Personal training in Penge — questions
+How much does a personal trainer in Penge cost?
Most one-to-one sessions in Penge are priced between £30 and £60 an hour, set by each trainer. Rally adds a flat £2.50 booking fee per private session and £1 per open class place — there's no membership or subscription. Booking regularly? Many trainers also offer blocks of 3, 5 or 10 sessions.
+Do I have to buy a gym membership to train in Penge?
No. Plenty of trainers in Penge work outdoors, usually in Cator Park, with no venue cost at all. If you book a trainer who works from a gym, you'll pay that gym's day pass on the day — the price is shown on their listing before you book, and Rally only lists gyms that sell day passes.
+Can I book a single session, or a block?
Both. Book one session, or a block of 3, 5 or 10 one-hour sessions with the same trainer, picking every date from their live diary. Your card is authorised, and you're only charged once the trainer accepts. You can still reschedule any single session in a block.
+What happens if I need to cancel?
Cancel more than 24 hours before the session and you're refunded everything you paid, booking fee included. Inside 24 hours, half the session fee goes to the trainer for the time they've held and the booking fee isn't returned. If the trainer cancels, you're refunded in full — booking fee included — or offered an alternative time.
+Are trainers in Penge insured and qualified?
Every trainer on Rally submits their insurance details and qualifications, and we check them before their listing goes live. You can see their credentials on their profile before you book.
+Can I train outdoors in winter in Penge?
Yes — most outdoor trainers run through the winter, moving to firmer paths and sheltered corners of Cator Park when the ground is wet. If you'd rather be indoors, filter for gym-based trainers instead.
