Dated to your race, not week numbers
Your programme counts back from Dublin. Miss a week and Sunday's rebuild absorbs it — the plan bends, the race date doesn't.

Roughly 159 km from Ballyclare 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 Ballyclare.
Enough choice in Ballyclare 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.

What a Hyrox build looks like from Ballyclare.
Where to train in Ballyclare
Ballyclare has 5 places to train within reach. Not a wide field, and it means the sensible move is to build the programme around what one or two of them actually have rather than hunting for a perfect fit.
Closest to the centre you have Ballyclare Leisure Centre, Need 4 Speed Karting and Ballyearl Arts and Leisure Centre, 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.
Ballyclare Leisure Centre and Need 4 Speed Karting 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.
Where to run around Ballyclare
Sixmilewater parkrun, roughly 0.1 km from the centre of Ballyclare, is your nearest measured 5 km. Free, timed, every Saturday, and the single most useful benchmark you have access to.
Racing from Ballyclare
Your nearest race is Royal Dublin Society (RDS), about 159 km away. Far enough that an early wave means going the night before, which is worth budgeting for at the point you enter rather than the week before.
Between the race and the 5 places to train listed here, the constraint is rarely equipment. It is the calendar, which is why the programme is dated to a day rather than numbered by week.
