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

Roughly 364 km from Bloemfontein in a straight line, so treat it as a weekend away rather than a day out, and book the room when you book the race. Whichever race you enter, the programme is built backwards from that date.

Where you can train in Bloemfontein.
Enough choice in Bloemfontein 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 Bloemfontein.
Where to train in Bloemfontein
Bloemfontein has 9 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 Supersport, Ramblers Sports Club and Arthur Nathan Swimming Pool, the nearest of them about 0.7 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.
Supersport and Ramblers Sports 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.
Virgin Active has a site 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 Bloemfontein
There is no parkrun close to Bloemfontein, so you will need to measure your own loop. Pick something flat you can repeat, run it every three or four weeks under the same conditions, and treat that time as your benchmark.
Racing from Bloemfontein
Johannesburg Expo Centre is the nearest venue at roughly 364 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.
Between the race and the 9 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.
