Where you can train in Mount Maunganui.
Mount Maunganui 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.

What a Hyrox build looks like from Mount Maunganui.
Where to train in Mount Maunganui
12 gyms and sports centres sit within a few miles of the centre of Mount Maunganui. That is enough to choose on what the floor actually holds rather than on which is nearest.
Closest to the centre you have Mount Ocean Sports Club, Mount Maunganui Sports Centre and Rocktopia, 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.
Mount Ocean Sports Club and Mount Maunganui Sports 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.
Tauranga City Council has a site 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 Mount Maunganui
There is no parkrun close to Mount Maunganui, 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.
Racing from Mount Maunganui
Your nearest race is Auckland Showgrounds - 217 Green Lane West, about 150 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.
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.
