Training in Brownhills

A big council pool, grappling mats and open heath.

The biggest venue here is Oak Park Active Living Centre in Walsall Wood, which moved to Coppice Road in 2016 and has an eight-lane 25 m pool, a 100-station gym, the BOX12 boxing studio, squash courts and a six-court sports hall. Better Gym Walsall Wood is the chain option, and Platinum Gym & Fitness Centre, Empire Gym and TDM Gym are independents. Grappling is well covered by Fighting Fit BJJ, ADK Grappling Academy and two aikido dojos, with boxing and kickboxing at Trojan and Adrenaline.

Chasewater, a reservoir in a country park on the town's edge, has sailing and water-skiing, and Brownhills Common is 100 acres of heathland nature reserve. The Wyrley and Essington Canal runs through the town as well, a long, flat route for a run with a training partner.
