Dated to your race, not week numbers
Your programme counts back from Johannesburg. Miss a week and Sunday's rebuild absorbs it — the plan bends, the race date doesn't.
An Elite 15 athlete behind the programming
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.

Roughly 888 km from Gqeberha in a straight line, so treat it as a weekend away rather than a day out, and book the room when you book the race. Whichever race you enter, the programme is built backwards from that date.

Where you can train in Gqeberha.
Gqeberha 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: Virgin Active. If you already hold one of those memberships, you can start this week without paying anything new.

What a Hyrox build looks like from Gqeberha.
Where to train in Gqeberha
20 gyms and sports centres sit within a few miles of the centre of Gqeberha. That is enough to choose on what the floor actually holds rather than on which is nearest.
Closest to the centre you have Crusaders Squash Club, Valley Crag and Virgin Active, the nearest of them about 0.8 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.
Crusaders Squash Club and Valley Crag 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.
Virgin Active 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 Gqeberha
There is no parkrun close to Gqeberha, 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.
Racing from Gqeberha
Johannesburg Expo Centre is the nearest venue at roughly 888 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.
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.
