Training in Castlereagh

Pools, CrossFit and a 9 km greenway.

Castlereagh takes its name from the hills south-east of Belfast and from the former borough, which merged with Lisburn in 2015, with a small part moving into Belfast. Lisnasharragh Leisure Centre on Montgomery Road is the big council centre, with a 25 m pool, a diving pool, a teaching pool, a large gym and a 4G pitch. Better also runs the restored Victorian Templemore Baths, Avoniel, with its 3G pitches and mind and body studio, and Better Gym Connswater, with free weights and a 14 m track. Beyond them sit CrossFit boxes, grappling gyms, yoga and Pilates studios, rugby and cricket clubs, and Queen's Sport.

Ormeau Park hosts a free 5 km parkrun every Saturday at 9.30am, Orangefield has a parkrun of its own, and the Connswater Community Greenway runs 9 km through east Belfast from Victoria Park to Cregagh Glen. With this much choice, the hard part is finding someone to share it with, and that's what Gymist is for.
