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

London · December 2026
Roughly 116 km from Bursledon in a straight line. Far enough that an early wave usually means travelling the night before. Whichever race you enter, the programme is built backwards from that date.

[ Gyms in Bursledon ]
Where you can train in Bursledon.
Bursledon 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.
Chains with a site here: David Lloyd Clubs, JD Gyms, Snap Fitness, Everyone Active, The Gym. If you already hold one of those memberships, you can start this week without paying anything new.

What a Hyrox build looks like from Bursledon.
Where to train in Bursledon
20 gyms and sports centres sit within a few miles of the centre of Bursledon. That is enough to choose on what the floor actually holds rather than on which is nearest.
Closest to the centre you have Dynamo School of Gymnastics, Hamble Sports Complex and Ninja Warrior UK, the nearest of them about 1.7 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.
Dynamo School of Gymnastics and Hamble Sports Complex 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.
David Lloyd Clubs, JD Gyms and Snap Fitness have sites 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 Bursledon
You are well served for measured running around Bursledon. 5 parkrun courses sit within reach: Netley Abbey parkrun, Whiteley parkrun and Itchen Valley Country parkrun are the closest three, Netley Abbey parkrun being about 2.7 km out. Use one as your fixed benchmark and run it in the same conditions each time, or the number tells you nothing.
They spread from roughly 3 km out to 10 km, so pick one as the benchmark rather than running whichever is convenient — a different course is a different number.
Racing from Bursledon
Your nearest race is ExCel, about 116 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 20 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.
