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.
An Elite 15 athlete behind the programming
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.

The ground you actually train on in Leigh.
Your nearest race: HYROX Manchester →Where to run your 1 km repeats
A Hyrox is eight 1 km runs with a station between each. Running them on flat, measured, repeatable ground is worth more than any single session you will do indoors. These are the closest measured 5 km courses to you.

Your nearest race
Manchester Central Convention Complex
Manchester · January 2027
Close enough to Leigh to get there on race morning without staying over, and close enough to walk the venue beforehand if you want to. Whichever race you enter, the programme is built backwards from that date.

Where you can train in Leigh.
Leigh 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, Everlast Gyms, 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 Leigh.
Where to train in Leigh
20 gyms and sports centres sit within a few miles of the centre of Leigh. That is enough to choose on what the floor actually holds rather than on which is nearest.
Closest to the centre you have Anytime Fitness, Kickabouts and The Yard Gym, the nearest of them about 0.4 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.
Leigh Leisure Centre and Leigh Cricket, Tennis and 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, Everlast Gyms 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 Leigh
Pennington Flash parkrun, roughly 1.6 km from the centre of Leigh, is your nearest measured 5 km. Free, timed, every Saturday, and the single most useful benchmark you have access to.
Racing from Leigh
Manchester Central Convention Complex is roughly 18 km from Leigh, 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 Leigh ]
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.
