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 Hadley Wood.
Hadley Wood 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 Hadley Wood.
Where to train in Hadley Wood
20 gyms and sports centres sit within a few miles of the centre of Hadley Wood. That is enough to choose on what the floor actually holds rather than on which is nearest.
Closest to the centre you have Blueprint, New Barnet Leisure Centre and Athletic Development Club, the nearest of them about 0.5 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.
Trent Park Running Club and Southgate Hockey 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 Hadley Wood
You are well served for measured running around Hadley Wood. 6 parkrun courses sit within reach: Oak Hill parkrun, Grovelands parkrun, Enfield and Ally Pally parkrun are the closest three, Oak Hill parkrun being about 3.4 km out. Use one as your fixed benchmark and run it in the same conditions each time, or the number tells you nothing.
They spread from roughly 3 km out to 10 km, so pick one as the benchmark rather than running whichever is convenient — a different course is a different number.
Racing from Hadley Wood
ExCel is roughly 22 km from Hadley Wood, 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.
