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.

Manchester Central Convention Complex
Manchester · January 2027
Roughly 100 km from Kendal in a straight line. Far enough that an early wave usually means travelling the night before. Whichever race you enter, the programme is built backwards from that date.

Where you can train in Kendal.
Kendal 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: Anytime Fitness, PureGym. If you already hold one of those memberships, you can start this week without paying anything new.

What a Hyrox build looks like from Kendal.
Where to train in Kendal
20 gyms and sports centres sit within a few miles of the centre of Kendal. That is enough to choose on what the floor actually holds rather than on which is nearest.
Closest to the centre you have Westmorland Crossfit, Kendal Squash Club and Calm & Control, 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.
Kendal Squash Club and Victoria Bowling 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.
Anytime Fitness and PureGym 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 Kendal
There is no parkrun close to Kendal, so you will need to measure your own loop. Pick something flat you can repeat, run it every three or four weeks under the same conditions, and treat that time as your benchmark.
Racing from Kendal
Your nearest race is Manchester Central Convention Complex, about 100 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 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.
