The race comes to Sutton Coldfield. 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.

Sutton Coldfield 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: The Gym, Better, Bannatyne Health Club, PureGym. If you already hold one of those memberships, you can start this week without paying anything new.

20 gyms and sports centres sit within a few miles of the centre of Sutton Coldfield. That is enough to choose on what the floor actually holds rather than on which is nearest.
Closest to the centre you have Sports Hall, The Gym and Sutton body therapies, 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.
Sports Hall and Wyndley 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.
The Gym, Better and Bannatyne Health Club 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.
You are well served for measured running around Sutton Coldfield. 4 parkrun courses sit within reach: Sutton Park parkrun, Perry Hall parkrun and Kingsbury Water parkrun are the closest three, Sutton Park parkrun being about 2.1 km out. Use one as your fixed benchmark and run it in the same conditions each time, or the number tells you nothing.
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.
Plenty of people train one town over, whether that is a better gym, a flatter route, or simply the one on the way home from work.
