Where you can train in Coleford.
Enough choice in Coleford 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 Coleford.
Where to train in Coleford
Coleford has 5 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 Whitecliff 4x4, Bream Sports Club and Monmouth Leisure Centre, the nearest of them about 1.4 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.
Whitecliff 4x4 and Bream Sports Club 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 Coleford
You are well served for measured running around Coleford. 3 parkrun courses sit within reach: Forest of Dean parkrun, Mallards Pike parkrun and Chippenham Playing Fields parkrun, Monmouth are the closest three, Forest of Dean parkrun being about 1.6 km out. Use one as your fixed benchmark and run it in the same conditions each time, or the number tells you nothing.
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 Coleford
Your nearest race is NEC Birmingham, about 95 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.
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.
