Roughly 189 km from Portlethen in a straight line. Far enough that an early wave usually means travelling the night before. Whichever race you enter, the programme is built backwards from that date.

Where you can train in Portlethen.
Portlethen 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.

What training in Portlethen actually involves.
Where to train in Portlethen
17 gyms and sports centres sit within a few miles of the centre of Portlethen. That is enough to choose on what the floor actually holds rather than on which is nearest.
Closest to the centre you have Portlethen Swimming Pool, Altens Hotel Health & Leisure Club and PureGym, the nearest of them about 1.4 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.
Portlethen Swimming Pool and David Lloyd Leisure 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.
PureGym and Goals 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 Portlethen
Hazlehead parkrun, Aberdeen, roughly 8.5 km from the centre of Portlethen, is your nearest measured 5 km. Free, timed, every Saturday, and the single most useful benchmark you have access to.
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.
