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.

Where you can train in West Derby.
West Derby 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 West Derby.
Where to train in West Derby
20 gyms and sports centres sit within a few miles of the centre of West Derby. That is enough to choose on what the floor actually holds rather than on which is nearest.
Closest to the centre you have Alma Fitness Studio, Melwood and Lifestyles Ellergreen, the nearest of them about 0.1 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.
Melwood and Volair Stockbridge 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 West Derby
You are well served for measured running around West Derby. 3 parkrun courses sit within reach: Croxteth Hall parkrun, Princes parkrun, Liverpool and Knowsley parkrun are the closest three, Croxteth Hall parkrun being about 1.6 km out. Use one as your fixed benchmark and run it in the same conditions each time, or the number tells you nothing.
They spread from roughly 2 km out to 7 km, so pick one as the benchmark rather than running whichever is convenient — a different course is a different number.
Racing from West Derby
Manchester Central Convention Complex is roughly 44 km from West Derby, 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.

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.
