There are 11 gyms and sports centres within reach of the centre of Port Macquarie, Anytime Fitness and Body Fit Training among them, and this programme is written around whichever one you use. Your nearest race is Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre, roughly 440 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.

Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre

Roughly 440 km from Port Macquarie in a straight line, so treat it as a weekend away rather than a day out, and book the room when you book the race. Whichever race you enter, the programme is built backwards from that date.

[ Gyms in Port Macquarie ]
Enough choice in Port Macquarie 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.
Chains with a site here: Anytime Fitness, Body Fit Training, World Gym. If you already hold one of those memberships, you can start this week without paying anything new.
Distances are straight-line from the centre of Port Macquarie. 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.

11 gyms and sports centres sit within a few miles of the centre of Port Macquarie. 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, Firebird Hot Yoga and Westport Bowls Greens, the nearest of them about 0.2 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.
Westport Bowls Greens and Port Macquarie Swimming Pool 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, Body Fit Training and World Gym 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.
There is no parkrun close to Port Macquarie, 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.
Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre is the nearest venue at roughly 440 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 Australia. Plenty of people train in the next town over, whether that is a better gym or simply the one on the way home.
