Training in Boston

One public pool, a run of 24-hour gyms and a strong boxing tradition.

Boston is home to around 70,500 people (Census 2021), up 9.1% since 2011, faster than the East Midlands as a whole, with a median age of 42. In Nov 2024–25, 39.0% of adults here did less than 30 minutes of activity a week, against 24.7% across England, so plenty of people are starting from scratch.

The public pool is Geoff Moulder Leisure Complex on Rowley Road, with a 25 m pool, a training pool, a gym, two studios and a spa; Boston Amateur Swimming Club trains there. Princess Royal Sports Arena on the Boardsides is home to Boston Rugby Club, founded in 1927. Around them sit PureGym and 24-hour independents, two amateur boxing clubs, a Muay Thai gym, kickboxing, judo and a squash and racketball club.

Outside, the Haven runs about 5 miles to The Wash, RSPB Frampton Marsh is 4 miles from town, and National Cycle Route 1 passes through. Gymist helps you find the gyms near you and the people who train like you do.
