Gyms in Blackheath
Golf is said to have reached England on Blackheath in 1608, and the heath is still where the London Marathon starts; on its Lewisham side you'll find personal training and tag rugby.

Training in Blackheath
Open ground and team sport.
The Lewisham side of Blackheath is light on indoor training. Fisher Fitness offers personal training, and the rest is team sport: Blackheath Tag Rugby Club, a kickabout with the Blackheath Heathens, Precision Football Development and Little Kickers. For a pool or a big gym, the borough's leisure centres, such as Glass Mill by Lewisham station, are the place to look.
The heath itself is the draw: about 85 hectares of common land looked after by Lewisham and Greenwich councils, with Greenwich Park on its edge. That much open grass suits intervals or a long loop, and a running partner gives you a reason to cross it on a cold morning.
