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 Harrow Road.
Harrow Road 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: Everyone 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 Harrow Road.
Where to train in Harrow Road
20 gyms and sports centres sit within a few miles of the centre of Harrow Road. That is enough to choose on what the floor actually holds rather than on which is nearest.
Closest to the centre you have Burn LDN, Jubilee Community Leisure Centre and Paddington Recreation Ground Fitness Suite, 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.
Paddington Sports Club and BaySixty6 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.
Everyone 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 Harrow Road
You are well served for measured running around Harrow Road. 3 parkrun courses sit within reach: Wormwood Scrubs parkrun, Gladstone parkrun and Hampstead Heath parkrun are the closest three, Wormwood Scrubs parkrun being about 2.8 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 4 km of each other, so you can rotate courses without the travel changing, which makes the times comparable.
Racing from Harrow Road
ExCel is roughly 16 km from Harrow Road, 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 Harrow Road ]
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.
