Training in Ashton-under-Lyne
HYROX, MMA and a running club.
Two gyms set the tone. Gritstone Fitness, on the Albion Trading Estate off Mossley Road, runs HYROX-style strength and conditioning, group training and a four-week beginners course, and Manchester Top Team on Boodle Street is an MMA gym teaching boxing, wrestling, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, Muay Thai and more. Elements Yoga Space and Delaneys gym fill out the list, and East Cheshire Harriers & Tameside Athletic Club and Curzon Ashton Football Club are on the list too.
Hartshead Pike, a hill with a stone tower that overlooks the town, is the obvious target for a weekend run. Lower down, the Ashton Canal arrives from Manchester, the Peak Forest Canal leaves from Portland Basin and the Huddersfield Narrow Canal starts at Whitelands Basin, so there's a towpath for every distance. A training partner can reach you by tram or bus at the interchange.
