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

Where you can train in Biddulph.
Biddulph 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 Biddulph.
Where to train in Biddulph
17 gyms and sports centres sit within a few miles of the centre of Biddulph. That is enough to choose on what the floor actually holds rather than on which is nearest.
Closest to the centre you have Biddulph Valley Leisure Centre, Transformation HQ and Aptitude Personal Training, the nearest of them about 0.6 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.
Biddulph Valley Leisure Centre and Astbury Water Sports 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 Biddulph
Congleton parkrun, roughly 6 km from the centre of Biddulph, 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 8 km of each other, so you can rotate courses without the travel changing, which makes the times comparable.
Racing from Biddulph
Manchester Central Convention Complex is roughly 40 km from Biddulph, close enough to be a normal morning rather than a trip. That is the one to build towards for a first race: no hotel, no unfamiliar bed, no early train.
Between the race and the 17 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.
