Training in Burslem

A leisure centre, a gymnastics arena and fight gyms.

Dimensions Leisure Centre on Scotia Road is Active Stoke's venue in the town: the Fantasy Pool with swirling rapids and a dragon slide, a gym of more than 70 stations, a studio, floodlit 3G pitches and a purpose-built gymnastics arena, home to City of Stoke Gymnastics. Around it are fight gyms, among them Suua Muay Thai, McGovern Academy, TGA Martial Arts and Humberts Martial Arts, plus MG Hourglass PT for personal training and North Staffs Gymnastics Club.

Burslem Park opened in 1894 to a design by Thomas Mawson and is Grade II* listed, and Westport Lake, in Longport, is the largest body of water in the city. A lap of either is better with a training partner, and Longport station brings people in from Crewe and Derby.
