Dated to your race, not week numbers
Your programme counts back from London. 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.

Your nearest race: HYROX London ExCel →Where to run your 1 km repeats
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.

ExCel
London · December 2026
Roughly 82 km from Basingstoke in a straight line, which for most people is an early train rather than a hotel. Whichever race you enter, the programme is built backwards from that date.

Where you can train in Basingstoke.
Basingstoke 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: The Gym, Fitness First. If you already hold one of those memberships, you can start this week without paying anything new.

What a Hyrox build looks like from Basingstoke.
Where to train in Basingstoke
15 gyms and sports centres sit within a few miles of the centre of Basingstoke. That is enough to choose on what the floor actually holds rather than on which is nearest.
Closest to the centre you have Basingstoke Sports Centre, Basingstoke Sports & Social Club and QM Sports 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.
Basingstoke Sports Centre and Basingstoke Sports & Social 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.
The Gym and Fitness First 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 Basingstoke
Basingstoke parkrun, roughly 0.5 km from the centre of Basingstoke, is your nearest measured 5 km. Free, timed, every Saturday, and the single most useful benchmark you have access to.
Racing from Basingstoke
Your nearest race is ExCel, about 82 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 15 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.

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.
