Your programme counts back from Cardiff. Miss a week and Sunday's rebuild absorbs it — the plan bends, the race date doesn't.
Ben races in the HYROX Elite 15 Doubles with his brother Harry. The programming you follow is the structure he uses, scaled to your level.

Where to run your 1 km repeats

[ Gyms in Wotton-under-Edge ]
Enough choice in Wotton-under-Edge 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.

[ Training in Wotton-under-Edge ]
Wotton-under-Edge has 6 places to train within reach. Not a wide field, and it means the sensible move is to build the programme around what one or two of them actually have rather than hunting for a perfect fit.
Closest to the centre you have Wotton-under-Edge Bowls Club, Wotton Sports Centre and Renishaw Gym, the nearest of them about 1.2 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.
Wotton-under-Edge Bowls Club and Wotton Sports 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.
Wotton parkrun, roughly 1.6 km from the centre of Wotton-under-Edge, is your nearest measured 5 km. Free, timed, every Saturday, and the single most useful benchmark you have access to.
Principality Stadium is roughly 60 km from Wotton-under-Edge, 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 6 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.
