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

Where you can train in Stakeford.
Stakeford 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 Stakeford.
Where to train in Stakeford
20 gyms and sports centres sit within a few miles of the centre of Stakeford. That is enough to choose on what the floor actually holds rather than on which is nearest.
Closest to the centre you have Rowing Club, Ashington Cricket club and Evolution, the nearest of them about 0.7 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.
Rowing Club and Ashington Cricket 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 Stakeford
You are well served for measured running around Stakeford. 4 parkrun courses sit within reach: Ashington Community Woodland parkrun, Newbiggin-by-the-Sea parkrun and Carlisle Park parkrun, Morpeth are the closest three, Ashington Community Woodland parkrun being about 3.3 km out. Use one as your fixed benchmark and run it in the same conditions each time, or the number tells you nothing.
All of them sit within about 8 km of each other, so you can rotate courses without the travel changing, which makes the times comparable.
Racing from Stakeford
Scottish Event Campus (SEC) is the nearest venue at roughly 188 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.
With the race that far out, the 4 parkruns nearby do more work than usual — it is the only regular measured effort you will get without a train ticket, so it carries the whole benchmarking job.

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.
