Training in Barnard Castle

A pool and a climbing wall, with fight gyms close by.

Teesdale Leisure Centre carries most of the town's training: a 25 m pool and a small learner pool, a Technogym gym with free weights, a studio, a climbing wall and a sports hall, with a 3G pitch outside. Barnard Castle Amateur Boxing Club, Baek Ho Taekwondo and FAWX Gymnastics cover combat and gymnastics, Space to Thrive offers health and fitness sessions, and the rugby, cricket and golf clubs round out the list.

The Teesdale Way passes the town, and Upper Teesdale and Hamsterley Forest are within reach for longer runs and rides. Out there, a training partner is worth having: someone to share the driving to the dales, or a regular lane buddy at Teesdale on weekday evenings.
