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 139 km from Middlesbrough 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 Middlesbrough.
Middlesbrough 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: Goals, PureGym, The Gym Group, TeamSport Go Karting, Total Fitness. If you already hold one of those memberships, you can start this week without paying anything new.

What a Hyrox build looks like from Middlesbrough.
Where to train in Middlesbrough
20 gyms and sports centres sit within a few miles of the centre of Middlesbrough. That is enough to choose on what the floor actually holds rather than on which is nearest.
Closest to the centre you have Steel City Gym, Goals and Iron Works Moto Park, the nearest of them about 0.6 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.
Steel City Gym and Goals 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.
Goals, PureGym and The Gym Group 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 Middlesbrough
You are well served for measured running around Middlesbrough. 3 parkrun courses sit within reach: Albert parkrun, Middlesbrough, Stewart parkrun, Middlesbrough and Flatts Lane parkrun are the closest three, Albert parkrun, Middlesbrough being about 1.2 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 1 km out to 6 km, so pick one as the benchmark rather than running whichever is convenient — a different course is a different number.
Racing from Middlesbrough
Your nearest race is Manchester Central Convention Complex, about 139 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.
[ Near Middlesbrough ]
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.
