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.

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.

Close enough to Rossendale 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.

[ Gyms in Rossendale ]
Where you can train in Rossendale.
Enough choice in Rossendale 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.

What a Hyrox build looks like from Rossendale.
Where to train in Rossendale
10 gyms and sports centres sit within a few miles of the centre of Rossendale. That is enough to choose on what the floor actually holds rather than on which is nearest.
Closest to the centre you have Riverside Health Club, Rawtenstall Cricket Club and Marl Pits Leisure Centre, the nearest of them about 1.9 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.
Rawtenstall Cricket Club and Marl Pits Leisure 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.
Where to run around Rossendale
Clarence parkrun, roughly 9 km from the centre of Rossendale, is your nearest measured 5 km. Free, timed, every Saturday, and the single most useful benchmark you have access to.
Racing from Rossendale
Manchester Central Convention Complex is roughly 23 km from Rossendale, 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 10 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 Rossendale ]
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.
