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

Where you can train in Great Malvern.
Enough choice in Great Malvern to find one that suits the training rather than the other way round. Ring ahead and ask about sled space and a wall you are allowed to throw at, because those two decide more than anything on the membership page.

What a Hyrox build looks like from Great Malvern.
Where to train in Great Malvern
11 gyms and sports centres sit within a few miles of the centre of Great Malvern. That is enough to choose on what the floor actually holds rather than on which is nearest.
Closest to the centre you have Malvern Splash, Manor Park Sports Club and The Edinburgh Dome, 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.
Malvern Splash and Manor Park Sports 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 Great Malvern
There is no parkrun close to Great Malvern, 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 Great Malvern
NEC is roughly 56 km from Great Malvern, 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 11 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.
