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

Where you can train in Earlsfield.
Earlsfield 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 Earlsfield.
Where to train in Earlsfield
20 gyms and sports centres sit within a few miles of the centre of Earlsfield. That is enough to choose on what the floor actually holds rather than on which is nearest.
Closest to the centre you have MA&Y (Martial Arts & Yoga), The Spencer Club and Wandilea Bowls Club, 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.
The Spencer Club and Wandilea Bowls 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.
The Gym has a site 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.
Where to run around Earlsfield
You are well served for measured running around Earlsfield. 8 parkrun courses sit within reach: Clapham Common parkrun, Tooting Common parkrun and Wimbledon Common parkrun are the closest three, Clapham Common parkrun being about 2.7 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 7 km of each other, so you can rotate courses without the travel changing, which makes the times comparable.
Racing from Earlsfield
ExCel is roughly 16 km from Earlsfield, close enough to be a normal morning rather than a trip. That is the one to build towards for a first race: no hotel, no unfamiliar bed, no early train.
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.

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.
