Roughly 41 km from Stellenbosch in a straight line, which for most people is an early train rather than a hotel. Whichever race you enter, the programme is built backwards from that date.
Straight-line distance from the centre of Stellenbosch to the venue. Check the official Hyrox calendar for final dates.

Stellenbosch 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.

15 gyms and sports centres sit within a few miles of the centre of Stellenbosch. That is enough to choose on what the floor actually holds rather than on which is nearest.
Closest to the centre you have Old Mutual Sport Centre, Virgin Active and Naude's Gym, the nearest of them about 0.5 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.
Old Mutual Sport Centre and Coetzenburg 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.
There is no parkrun close to Stellenbosch, 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.
