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

[ Gyms in Belper ]
Where you can train in Belper.
Belper 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.

What a Hyrox build looks like from Belper.
Where to train in Belper
14 gyms and sports centres sit within a few miles of the centre of Belper. That is enough to choose on what the floor actually holds rather than on which is nearest.
Closest to the centre you have Gymphobics, Belper Meadows Tennis Club and Fit Pit, the nearest of them about 0.4 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.
Belper Meadows Tennis Club and Belper Leisure Centre 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 Belper
Shipley Country parkrun, roughly 8.3 km from the centre of Belper, 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 10 km of each other, so you can rotate courses without the travel changing, which makes the times comparable.
Racing from Belper
Your nearest race is NEC, about 66 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 14 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.
