Built backwards from race day
Eight stations, eight 1-km runs. Sled push and pull with explicit progression, wall balls scaled to your bodyweight, run intervals that match the race.
[ Chiba · Japan ]
There are 20 gyms and sports centres within reach of the centre of Chiba, エニタイムフィットネス and chocoZAP among them, and this programme is written around whichever one you use. Chiba hosts a race, so every session is dated backwards from that weekend. Built by HYROX Elite 15 athlete Ben Sutherland. See your Week 1 before you decide anything.

Your programme counts back from Chiba. Miss a week and Sunday's rebuild absorbs it — the plan bends, the race date doesn't.

Makuhari Messe
Chiba · expected August 2027
The race comes to Chiba. That means you can walk the venue beforehand, and it means the people you train beside will be on the same start list. A programme dated to that weekend is worth more than a generic twelve weeks.
The date follows the venue's annual cadence rather than a confirmed listing, so check the official Hyrox calendar before booking.

Chiba 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: エニタイムフィットネス, chocoZAP, コナミスポーツクラブ. If you already hold one of those memberships, you can start this week without paying anything new.

20 gyms and sports centres sit within a few miles of the centre of Chiba. That is enough to choose on what the floor actually holds rather than on which is nearest.
Closest to the centre you have エニタイムフィットネス, chocoZAP and YohaSアリーナ ~本能に、感動を。~, the nearest of them about 1 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.
YohaSアリーナ ~本能に、感動を。~ and ユナイテッドパーク 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.
エニタイムフィットネス, chocoZAP and コナミスポーツクラブ 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.
There is no parkrun close to Chiba, 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.
Chiba hosts a race, which is a bigger advantage than most people use. You can walk the venue, you will train alongside people on the same start list, and you have no travel to plan on the morning.
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.
