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

Where you can train in Hemsworth.
Enough choice in Hemsworth 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 Hemsworth.
Where to train in Hemsworth
11 gyms and sports centres sit within a few miles of the centre of Hemsworth. That is enough to choose on what the floor actually holds rather than on which is nearest.
Closest to the centre you have Hemsworth Rugby Union FC, Havercroft & Rhyhill Sports & Youth Centre and Ackworth School Sports Hall, the nearest of them about 0.9 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.
Hemsworth Rugby Union FC and Havercroft & Rhyhill Sports & Youth Centre 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 Hemsworth
You are well served for measured running around Hemsworth. 3 parkrun courses sit within reach: Nostell parkrun, Frickley Country parkrun and Pontefract parkrun are the closest three, Nostell parkrun being about 4.5 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 5 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 Hemsworth
Your nearest race is Manchester Central Convention Complex, about 61 km away. Far enough that an early wave means going the night before, which is worth budgeting for at the point you enter rather than the week before.
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.
