Training in Chester-le-Street

Riverside sport, two leisure centres and judo.

Chester-le-Street has two council sites: Chester-le-Street Leisure Centre, and the Riverside complex, with an athletics track, 3G pitches and an indoor cricket hall beside Durham Cricket's ground. Bannatyne Health Club, OneGym, FIITFAM and MOTIV8 add gym floors, and there's yoga at YogaPupz, Blue Skies Yoga and Barefoot Yoga & Pilates.
