Training in Carrington

Gymnastics, martial arts and a chain gym.

Carrington is a small suburb about 1.3 miles north of the city centre, and its training is a mixed bag. PureGym Nottingham Basford covers open-access lifting. Robin Hood Gymnastics Club, a British Gymnastics women's artistic club, trains competitive gymnasts. Shudokan Black Belt Academy teaches aikido and self-defence, Lishi runs tai chi and kung fu, and The Yoga Place and Garth's Gym sit nearby. Racket players have Pickleball Nottingham and Mapperley Park Tennis Club.

The Forest Recreation Ground is on Carrington's doorstep, with its free outdoor gym and Saturday parkrun. That makes it an easy place to set up a regular run or outdoor session with someone who lives round the corner.
