Training in Belper

Mill-town yoga, pole and weights.

Belper's training is mostly small and independent. Fit Pit and Riverside Fitness Centre cover the weights, Ronin Budo teaches martial arts, and Mill View Pole Academy and Splitz Dance Centre keep the dance side busy. Yoga is the town's strong suit, with Shine With Tabitha, Sage Yoga Studio, Mountain Oak Yoga and Humble Warrior Yoga all here. For a pool, Belper Leisure Centre sits beside Belper School.

The town grew around Strutt's cotton mills, now part of the Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage Site, and the Derwent Valley Heritage Way passes by Wyver. A riverside walk or a Sunday run is easier to stick to with someone waiting for you, so find a training partner here.
