Roughly 133 km from Waterford 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.

Waterford has plenty of choice, which means you can be picky about the thing that actually matters: whether you will still be going in March. Proximity beats facilities almost every time, and a rack you can get on at the hour you train beats both.

20 gyms and sports centres sit within a few miles of the centre of Waterford. That is enough to choose on what the floor actually holds rather than on which is nearest.
Closest to the centre you have The Yoga Room, Waterford Badminton Club and House of Yoga, the nearest of them about 0.2 km out. Ring before you join and ask what the free-weight area looks like at the hour you would actually be there. A rack you have to queue twenty minutes for at six o'clock is the single most common reason a programme stops getting done.
Waterford Badminton Club and House of Yoga are listed as sports centres rather than gyms. Multi-use sites are usually where the floor space is, and often where the off-peak hours are quietest, which matters more to a training habit than the equipment list does.
There is no parkrun close to Waterford, 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.
The hard part of training in Waterford is not the first fortnight, it is week seven, when the novelty has gone and the weather has turned. What survives that is a programme that already knows which days you train and does not need you to decide anything on the day.
With this many places to train nearby, the useful discipline is picking one and staying put long enough to progress on it. Switching gyms resets your reference points — the same bar, the same rack, the same walk in — and those references are most of what tells you whether the last month worked.
The options here sit close together — from about 0.2 km out to 1.6 km — so switching is cheap if the first one does not suit. That is worth knowing before you sign a twelve-month contract rather than after.
No national chain shows up in the listings here, so these are independents. That usually means shorter contracts and a better chance the person on the desk knows what a sled is for, and it does mean checking terms one at a time.
Other places we cover in Ireland. Plenty of people train in the next town over, whether that is a better gym or simply the one on the way home.
