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 Hartley.
Hartley 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 Hartley.
Where to train in Hartley
20 gyms and sports centres sit within a few miles of the centre of Hartley. That is enough to choose on what the floor actually holds rather than on which is nearest.
Closest to the centre you have Hartley Country Club, Manor Field and New Ash Green & Hartley Cricket Club, 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.
Hartley Country Club and Manor Field 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 Hartley
You are well served for measured running around Hartley. 8 parkrun courses sit within reach: Cyclopark parkrun, Whitecliffe Lake parkrun and Jeskyns Community Woodland parkrun are the closest three, Cyclopark parkrun being about 5 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 10 km of each other, so you can rotate courses without the travel changing, which makes the times comparable.
Racing from Hartley
ExCel is roughly 23 km from Hartley, 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 Hartley ]
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.
