Training in Accrington

A 24/7 gym and a lot of fight clubs.

Central Fitness 24/7 on Blackburn Road is open round the clock, with a 250-station gym, a ladies-only area and more than 60 classes a week. Fight sports fill much of the rest: Kokoro Pro Boxing, Golden Gloves Thai Boxing, Clayton Amateur Boxing Club, Sukata BJJ & MMA, Masters of Martial Arts and Bredakwai Judo Academy. The Fitness Hub, Stanley Sports Hub, Yoga With Bernie and the golf clubs at Green Haworth and Baxenden complete the list. For a pool, Accrington Academy Sport & Leisure has a six-lane 25 m pool and a climbing wall.

Hills ring the town, and Hameldon Hill is the highest at 409 m. Closer in, Peel Park covers about 18 acres, and The Coppice inside it has a 2.2-mile walk with views over Accrington. Hill sessions are where a training partner earns their keep.
