Training in Birkenhead

Boxes, boxing and a historic park.

Birkenhead leans towards hard training. CrossFit Wirral on the Argyle Industrial Estate runs over 40 coached classes a week, with CrossFit Sempiternal, WRV;CF CrossFit and The Unit Strength and Conditioning alongside. Birkenhead Venture Boxing Club has trained men, women and children for over 35 years, and Family Martial Arts Wirral adds more combat. Anytime Fitness covers open-gym lifting, and Wirral Gymnastics Club and Birkenhead Gymnastics Academy coach gymnastics.

Birkenhead Park, opened in 1847 to Joseph Paxton's design, was the first publicly funded park in Britain and has two lakes to run round. The town has had rowing clubs since 1840, and Liverpool Victoria Rowing Club works from the West Float, so there's company on the water as well as in the box.
