Training in Birtley

A community pool and a lot of karate.

Birtley's two public places to train are both on Durham Road: Birtley Leisure Centre, run by Better, with a gym, studio and sports hall, and Birtley Community Pool, a not-for-profit pool run by its community. Around them sit Livefit14, Fusion Studios and Birtley Gym / Bodyrock Studio, a boxing club, GKR Karate, Sonkei Shotokan, Denchi Kai and John Agar's Wing Chun Kung Fu, plus Northern Hope Gymnastics and Buzz Dance Company.

Birtley Athletics Club is the place to start if you'd rather run with others, and Antony Gormley's Angel of the North stands on high ground just north of the town. With this many martial arts clubs, finding a partner to drill with is rarely the hard part.
