Training in Clifton

A leisure centre, a campus and a parkrun.

Clifton's 1950s council estate was once the largest in Europe, and its training still centres on Clifton Leisure Centre on Southchurch Drive: a 25 m pool, teaching pool, gym, group cycling studio and a health suite with a salt room. KickboxUK has run PKA Kickboxing from the centre since 2001. Nottingham Trent University's Clifton campus adds a sports hub and tennis centre, and Clifton Amateur Boxing Club, Shorin-Ryu karate, Amaris Universe and Dancin' Motion fill out the list.

A free 5 km parkrun has been held on Clifton Playing Fields every week since 2018, and the area has seven football teams of its own. Line 2 trams stop by the leisure centre, so meeting someone for a swim or a run is easy to fit in.
