Training in Buxton

A spa town that trains uphill.

At about 300 m up, Buxton is England's highest market town, and its training is spread right across it. MyActive Buxton in the Pavilion Gardens has a 25 m pool, a learner pool and a gym of more than 30 stations. CrossFit Buxton on Leek Road runs coached classes, HYROX and Olympic lifting, and New Bodies Gymnasium, 5ONE Fitness and Transformation HQ cover lifting. The Lab Martial Arts, Buxton Judo Club, Buxton Jujitsu and two tai chi teachers handle combat and movement, with yoga at The Yoga Den and Peak Yoga.

Hills ring the town. Grin Low, topped by the tower locals call Solomon's Temple, rises to 439 m, and Corbar Hill to 437 m, so a hill session with a training partner starts from your door. The Pavilion Gardens has a parkrun and a junior parkrun, and the Monsal Trail follows old railway trackbed for longer runs and rides.
