Training in Bournbrook

A 50 m pool on the edge of campus.

University of Birmingham Sport & Fitness is the reason to come: a 50 m pool, six glass-backed squash courts and a climbing wall, with memberships open to the local community as well as students and staff. The university's Tiverton Gym is on the list too, alongside Royal Jiu Jitsu, a 3G short-sided football pitch and the university's hockey and volleyball sides.

The Bourn Brook flows into the River Rea in Cannon Hill Park and marks the ward boundary, and the Bristol Road is Bournbrook's high street. With so many students in shared houses, plenty of people here are looking for a gym buddy or a running partner.
