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 East Sheen.
East Sheen 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 East Sheen.
Where to train in East Sheen
20 gyms and sports centres sit within a few miles of the centre of East Sheen. That is enough to choose on what the floor actually holds rather than on which is nearest.
Closest to the centre you have Paul May Fitness, Evolution and SW14 Women's Fitness, the nearest of them about 0.2 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.
Sheen Lawn Tennis and Squash Club and Sheen Park Cricket 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 East Sheen
You are well served for measured running around East Sheen. 8 parkrun courses sit within reach: Richmond parkrun, Old Deer Park parkrun and Wimbledon Common parkrun are the closest three, Richmond parkrun being about 2.1 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 East Sheen
ExCel is roughly 21 km from East Sheen, 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.
[ Near East Sheen ]
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.
