Log your sessions and the plan recalibrates each Sunday. Strong week, next week pushes harder. Missed sessions, next week rebuilds with more recovery.

Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre
Brisbane · March 2027
Roughly 1390 km from Cairns in a straight line, so treat it as a weekend away rather than a day out, and book the room when you book the race. Whichever race you enter, the programme is built backwards from that date.
Straight-line distance from the centre of Cairns to the venue. Check the official Hyrox calendar for final dates.

Cairns 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: World Gym. If you already hold one of those memberships, you can start this week without paying anything new.
Distances are straight-line from the centre of Cairns. We have not audited what equipment each site holds, so treat this as where to start ringing rather than a verified kit list. Gym data © OpenStreetMap contributors.

12 gyms and sports centres sit within a few miles of the centre of Cairns. That is enough to choose on what the floor actually holds rather than on which is nearest.
Closest to the centre you have Cairns Ashtanga Yoga, Barlow Park and Cairns BMX 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.
Cairns Ashtanga Yoga and Barlow Park 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.
World Gym 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.
There is no parkrun close to Cairns, so you will need to measure your own loop. Pick something flat you can repeat, run it every three or four weeks under the same conditions, and treat that time as your benchmark.
A Hyrox is eight kilometre runs with a station between each, which means the skill being tested is running on tired legs, not running fresh. Do at least one session a week where the running comes after the hard work rather than before it.
Other places we cover in Australia. Plenty of people train in the next town over, whether that is a better gym or simply the one on the way home.
