Tell us your race date and every session lands on a calendar day. Miss a week and Sunday's rebuild absorbs it. The plan bends, the race date doesn't.
Ben races in the HYROX Elite 15 Doubles with his brother Harry. The programming you follow is the structure he uses, scaled to your level.

[ Gyms in Dromore ]
Dromore is not spoilt for choice, which matters less than it sounds. Six of the eight stations need a sled, a rower, a ski erg, kettlebells and a wall, and most of that substitutes cleanly. Your programme is built around what you can actually get to.
Distances are straight-line from the centre of Dromore. We have not audited what equipment each site holds, so treat this as where to start ringing rather than a verified kit list. Gym data © OpenStreetMap contributors.

Training options in Dromore are thin on the ground, which matters far less than it sounds. Most of a Hyrox build is running, carrying and squatting, and almost all of it substitutes.
Closest to the centre you have Dromore Sports Complex and Trillick St. Macartan's GAC, the nearest of them about 0.3 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.
Dromore Sports Complex and Trillick St. Macartan's GAC 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.
There is no parkrun close to Dromore, 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.
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.
OVO Hydro is the nearest venue at roughly 251 km, so racing means a weekend away. Enter early, book the room at the same time, and treat the travel as part of the plan rather than an afterthought.
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.
