Clear the Trials to Collect 7 Keys

Gerudo Training Message

In Ocarina of Time, the goal of the Gerudo Training Ground is to collect 7 of the 9 available keys. Complete the trials in each room and collect keys as you progress through the training ground. Since several key items are required to clear it, we recommend attempting it after completing the Spirit Temple.

Some trials in the Gerudo Training Ground have a time limit, but failing one simply returns you to the beginning of the same room. As long as you don't run out of health, you can retry without any real penalty.
