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.

[ Gyms in Boughton ]
Where you can train in Boughton.
Enough choice in Boughton 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 Boughton.
Where to train in Boughton
Boughton has 8 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 Smith's Gym, Leisure Centre and Manor House Fitness, the nearest of them about 1.2 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.
Leisure Centre and South Forest 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 Boughton
Sherwood Pines parkrun, roughly 7.8 km from the centre of Boughton, 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 9 km of each other, so you can rotate courses without the travel changing, which makes the times comparable.
Racing from Boughton
Your nearest race is Manchester Central Convention Complex, about 89 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 8 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.
