Dated to your race, not week numbers
Your programme counts back from Glasgow. Miss a week and Sunday's rebuild absorbs it — the plan bends, the race date doesn't.
An Elite 15 athlete behind the programming
Ben races in the HYROX Elite 15 Doubles with his brother Harry. The programming you follow is the structure he uses, scaled to your level.

A Hyrox is eight 1 km runs with a station between each. Running them on flat, measured, repeatable ground is worth more than any single session you will do indoors. These are the closest measured 5 km courses to you.

Your nearest race
Scottish Event Campus (SEC)
Glasgow · March 2027
Roughly 197 km from Aberdeen in a straight line. Far enough that an early wave usually means travelling the night before. Whichever race you enter, the programme is built backwards from that date.

Where you can train in Aberdeen.
Aberdeen 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: Snap Fitness, CrossFit, YMCA. If you already hold one of those memberships, you can start this week without paying anything new.

What a Hyrox build looks like from Aberdeen.
Where to train in Aberdeen
20 gyms and sports centres sit within a few miles of the centre of Aberdeen. That is enough to choose on what the floor actually holds rather than on which is nearest.
Closest to the centre you have Warehouse Health Club, Ian Stott and Snap Fitness, the nearest of them about 0.3 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.
Transition Extreme Sports and Dee Swimming 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.
Snap Fitness, CrossFit and YMCA 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 Aberdeen
Aberdeen parkrun, roughly 2.7 km from the centre of Aberdeen, is your nearest measured 5 km. Free, timed, every Saturday, and the single most useful benchmark you have access to.
All of them sit within about 5 km of each other, so you can rotate courses without the travel changing, which makes the times comparable.
Racing from Aberdeen
Scottish Event Campus (SEC) is the nearest venue at roughly 197 km, so racing means a weekend away. Enter early, book the room at the same time, and treat the travel as part of the plan rather than an afterthought.
With the race that far out, the 2 parkruns nearby do more work than usual — it is the only regular measured effort you will get without a train ticket, so it carries the whole benchmarking job.
[ Near Aberdeen ]
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.
