Close enough to Durbanville to get there on race morning without staying over, and close enough to walk the venue beforehand if you want to. Whichever race you enter, the programme is built backwards from that date.

Durbanville 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: Virgin Active, City of Cape Town. If you already hold one of those memberships, you can start this week without paying anything new.

16 gyms and sports centres sit within a few miles of the centre of Durbanville. That is enough to choose on what the floor actually holds rather than on which is nearest.
Closest to the centre you have Virgin Active, Zone Fitness and Durbanville Tennis Club, the nearest of them about 0.2 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.
Zone Fitness and Durbanville Tennis 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.
Virgin Active and City of Cape Town 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.
There is no parkrun close to Durbanville, 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 South Africa. Plenty of people train in the next town over, whether that is a better gym or simply the one on the way home.
