The race comes to Fallowfield. 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.

Where you can train in Fallowfield.
Fallowfield 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.
Chains with a site here: Better, Jetts Fitness, The Gym Group. If you already hold one of those memberships, you can start this week without paying anything new.

What a Hyrox build looks like from Fallowfield.
Where to train in Fallowfield
20 gyms and sports centres sit within a few miles of the centre of Fallowfield. That is enough to choose on what the floor actually holds rather than on which is nearest.
Closest to the centre you have Withington Bowling Club, Muscle Manor and Armitage Sports Centre, 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.
Withington Bowling Club and Armitage Sports Centre 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.
Better, Jetts Fitness and The Gym Group have sites 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 Fallowfield
You are well served for measured running around Fallowfield. 5 parkrun courses sit within reach: South Manchester parkrun, Alexandra parkrun, Moss Side and Fletcher Moss parkrun are the closest three, South Manchester parkrun being about 0.9 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 Fallowfield
Fallowfield 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.
