There are 10 gyms and sports centres within reach of the centre of L'Assomption, and this programme is written around whichever one you use. Your nearest race is VENUE INFORMATION COMING SOON, roughly 181 km away, and every session is dated backwards from it. Built by HYROX Elite 15 athlete Ben Sutherland. See your Week 1 before you decide anything.

Tell us your race date and every session lands on a calendar day. Miss a week and Sunday's rebuild absorbs it. The plan bends, the race date doesn't.
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.

VENUE INFORMATION COMING SOON
Ottawa · April 2027
Roughly 181 km from L'Assomption 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.
Straight-line distance from the centre of L'Assomption to the venue. Check the official Hyrox calendar for final dates.
[ Gyms in L'Assomption ]
Enough choice in L'Assomption 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.
Distances are straight-line from the centre of L'Assomption. We have not audited what equipment each site holds, so treat this as where to start ringing rather than a verified kit list. Gym data © OpenStreetMap contributors.

10 gyms and sports centres sit within a few miles of the centre of L'Assomption. That is enough to choose on what the floor actually holds rather than on which is nearest.
Closest to the centre you have Terrain Normand-Roch, Terrain Yvon-Bourdelais and Terrain Jean-Pierre-Marin, the nearest of them about 1.1 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.
Terrain Normand-Roch and Terrain Yvon-Bourdelais 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.
There is no parkrun close to L'Assomption, 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.
A Hyrox is eight kilometre runs with a station between each, which means the skill being tested is running on tired legs, not running fresh. Do at least one session a week where the running comes after the hard work rather than before it.
VENUE INFORMATION COMING SOON is the nearest venue at roughly 181 km, so racing means a weekend away. Enter early, book the room at the same time, and treat the travel as part of the plan rather than an afterthought.
Whichever race you enter, the date is what makes a programme a programme. Twelve weeks is the standard build, sixteen if you are starting from very little running, and every session lands on a calendar day rather than a week number.
Other places we cover in Canada. Plenty of people train in the next town over, whether that is a better gym or simply the one on the way home.
