The race comes to Didsbury. 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.
Straight-line distance from the centre of Didsbury to the venue. The date follows the venue's annual cadence rather than a confirmed listing, so check the official Hyrox calendar before booking.

Where you can train in Didsbury.
Didsbury 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 Didsbury.
Where to train in Didsbury
20 gyms and sports centres sit within a few miles of the centre of Didsbury. That is enough to choose on what the floor actually holds rather than on which is nearest.
Closest to the centre you have Rebalance Pilates, Results Inc. Gym and Didsbury Sports Ground, the nearest of them about 0.1 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.
Didsbury Sports Ground and The Northern 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 Didsbury
You are well served for measured running around Didsbury. 8 parkrun courses sit within reach: Fletcher Moss parkrun, Burnage parkrun and South Manchester parkrun are the closest three, Fletcher Moss parkrun being about 0.8 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 Didsbury
Didsbury 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.
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.
