Training in Brighouse

A council pool, independents and the canal towpath.

Brighouse is well stocked for its size. Brighouse Pool and Fitness Centre, on the edge of Wellholme Park, has a main pool, a teaching pool and a 65-station Technogym gym. Around it is a dense spread of independents: MPFIT, Ironside Fitness, You Fit, Bridges Fitness Centre, The Fitness Lab and DefianceFit, with the R1DE studio. Brighouse Boxing Club, AIM Boxing & Fitness and Junboku Karate cover combat, and Park Rats Parkour and Utopia Gymnastics suit anyone who wants to move rather than lift.

The town sits on the River Calder, with a mooring basin on the Calder and Hebble Navigation in the centre, and its towpath is an easy place to run or walk with a friend. Rastrick and Park tennis clubs, Brighouse Rangers rugby league and a row of junior football teams mean there's usually a team that needs another player.
