Cologne hosts a race, which changes how you train for it.

Koelnmesse/FIBO
Cologne · April 2027
The race comes to Cologne. 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.
Check the official Hyrox calendar for final dates.

Where you can train in Cologne.
Cologne 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: Holmes Place, McFit, Fitness First, Kieser Training. If you already hold one of those memberships, you can start this week without paying anything new.

What training in Cologne actually involves.
Where to train in Cologne
20 gyms and sports centres sit within a few miles of the centre of Cologne. That is enough to choose on what the floor actually holds rather than on which is nearest.
Closest to the centre you have Holmes Place, McFit and Hyvibes, the nearest of them about 0.3 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.
Element Boulders and Kanusportfreunde Köln 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.
Holmes Place, McFit and Fitness First have sites 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 Cologne
There is no parkrun close to Cologne, 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.
