Where you can train in Bridge of Allan.
Enough choice in Bridge of Allan 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 Bridge of Allan.
Where to train in Bridge of Allan
10 gyms and sports centres sit within a few miles of the centre of Bridge of Allan. That is enough to choose on what the floor actually holds rather than on which is nearest.
Closest to the centre you have National Swimming Academy, Gannochy Sports Centre and Stirling Indoor Bowling Centre, the nearest of them about 1.5 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.
National Swimming Academy and Gannochy Sports 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.
PureGym 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 Bridge of Allan
University of Stirling parkrun, roughly 1.5 km from the centre of Bridge of Allan, is your nearest measured 5 km. Free, timed, every Saturday, and the single most useful benchmark you have access to.
A Hyrox is eight kilometre runs with a station between each, which means the skill being tested is running on tired legs, not running fresh. Do at least one session a week where the running comes after the hard work rather than before it.
Racing from Bridge of Allan
OVO Hydro is roughly 39 km from Bridge of Allan, 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.
Whichever race you enter, the date is what makes a programme a programme. Twelve weeks is the standard build, sixteen if you are starting from very little running, and every session lands on a calendar day rather than a week number.

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.
