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.

The race comes to West Ham. That means you can walk the venue beforehand, and it means the people you train beside will be on the same start list. A programme dated to that weekend is worth more than a generic twelve weeks.

Where you can train in West Ham.
West Ham 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.
Chains with a site here: Better. If you already hold one of those memberships, you can start this week without paying anything new.

What a Hyrox build looks like from West Ham.
Where to train in West Ham
20 gyms and sports centres sit within a few miles of the centre of West Ham. That is enough to choose on what the floor actually holds rather than on which is nearest.
Closest to the centre you have Newham Boys Amateur Boxing Club, Strength Ambassadors and East London Rugby Football Club, the nearest of them about 0.6 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.
Newham Boys Amateur Boxing Club and East London Rugby Football 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.
Better has a site 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.
Where to run around West Ham
You are well served for measured running around West Ham. 8 parkrun courses sit within reach: Wanstead Flats parkrun, Beckton parkrun and Greenwich Peninsula parkrun are the closest three, Wanstead Flats parkrun being about 3.1 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 6 km of each other, so you can rotate courses without the travel changing, which makes the times comparable.
Racing from West Ham
West Ham hosts a race, which is a bigger advantage than most people use. You can walk the venue, you will train alongside people on the same start list, and you have no travel to plan on the morning.
Having both a race and 8 measured 5 km courses on the doorstep is the combination that makes a season easy to plan: benchmark locally through the build, then race without travelling.
