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

Where you can train in Carryduff.
Carryduff 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 Carryduff.
Where to train in Carryduff
20 gyms and sports centres sit within a few miles of the centre of Carryduff. That is enough to choose on what the floor actually holds rather than on which is nearest.
Closest to the centre you have Lough Moss Leisure Centre, We Are Vertigo and Hydebank Playing Fields Pavilion, the nearest of them about 0.8 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.
Lough Moss Leisure Centre and We Are Vertigo 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 Carryduff
You are well served for measured running around Carryduff. 7 parkrun courses sit within reach: Belvoir Forest parkrun, Queen’s parkrun, Belfast and Orangefield parkrun are the closest three, Belvoir Forest parkrun being about 5 km out. Use one as your fixed benchmark and run it in the same conditions each time, or the number tells you nothing.
All of them sit within about 10 km of each other, so you can rotate courses without the travel changing, which makes the times comparable.
Racing from Carryduff
Your nearest race is Royal Dublin Society (RDS), about 134 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.
