Training in Blacon

Coached gyms and a railway path.

Most of Blacon's training happens on the CH1 4NS postcode, where Fortitude Gym runs short, coached strength and fitness sessions and Braventis describes itself as a gym and sports nutrition shop. Around the estate there are personal trainers too: DASH Fitness and Nutrition, Coached by Cat, Ultiathletic and RDS Fitness. Blacon Youth FC and the playing fields cover the football.

The line that once served Blacon station, closed to passengers in 1968, is now a surfaced cycle path and walkway linking Blacon with Chester and the countryside towards North Wales. It suits a steady run or ride, and it goes quicker with company.
