Dated to your race, not week numbers
Your programme counts back from London. Miss a week and Sunday's rebuild absorbs it — the plan bends, the race date doesn't.

Where you can train in South Ruislip.
South Ruislip 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 South Ruislip.
Where to train in South Ruislip
20 gyms and sports centres sit within a few miles of the centre of South Ruislip. That is enough to choose on what the floor actually holds rather than on which is nearest.
Closest to the centre you have Station Gym, McGovern Park and C & L Country Club, the nearest of them about 0.5 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.
McGovern Park and C & L Country 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.
Where to run around South Ruislip
Northala Fields parkrun, roughly 2.7 km from the centre of South Ruislip, is your nearest measured 5 km. Free, timed, every Saturday, and the single most useful benchmark you have access to.
Racing from South Ruislip
ExCel is roughly 31 km from South Ruislip, 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.
