Training in Chell
Mats, a leisure centre and a ring of parks.
Chell's training is mostly on the mat. Five Towns Ju Jitsu Ryu teaches practical self-defence, throws and breakfalls to adults and juniors at St Michael's Church, and Freeflow Taekwondo shares the same ST6 6JT postcode. Gannon's Martial Arts, Ronin Kickboxing and Aston Health and Fitness sit together off ST6 6QR, and New Horizons Sport and Leisure Centre is the larger venue on the list.
Open space does a lot of the work here: Victoria Park in Tunstall, Sproson Park, Spring Bank Recreation Ground and Monks-Neil Park all sit around the edges of Chell, and Chatterley Whitfield, the old colliery to the east, is now part of the Whitfield Valley nature reserve. A regular running partner makes those loops easier to keep up.
