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.
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.

Close enough to Hammersmith to get there on race morning without staying over, and close enough to walk the venue beforehand if you want to. Whichever race you enter, the programme is built backwards from that date.

Where you can train in Hammersmith.
Hammersmith 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: Jetts Fitness, F45 Training. If you already hold one of those memberships, you can start this week without paying anything new.

What a Hyrox build looks like from Hammersmith.
Where to train in Hammersmith
20 gyms and sports centres sit within a few miles of the centre of Hammersmith. That is enough to choose on what the floor actually holds rather than on which is nearest.
Closest to the centre you have Hammersmith Fitness and Squash Centre, Surge and Boom Cycle, 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.
Hammersmith Fitness and Squash Centre and Sports Building 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.
Jetts Fitness and F45 Training 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 Hammersmith
You are well served for measured running around Hammersmith. 4 parkrun courses sit within reach: Fulham Palace parkrun, Wormwood Scrubs parkrun and Battersea parkrun are the closest three, Fulham Palace parkrun being about 2.2 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 5 km of each other, so you can rotate courses without the travel changing, which makes the times comparable.
Racing from Hammersmith
ExCel is roughly 18 km from Hammersmith, 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 Hammersmith ]
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.
