Training in Cockermouth

A pool, a barbell gym and the fells close by.

Cockermouth Leisure Centre has a 25 m pool, a gym, a cycling studio and a sports hall. Lake District Barbell is the strength gym and BodyFit Cumbria another independent, while One Movement Story and The Movement Instruction Studio are small studios. Cumbria Karate Academy and Abernethy Jissen Karate-Do both teach karate, and Cockermouth Pilates Studio covers Pilates.

Harris Park has riverside walks above the town, and a shared-use path on the old Cockermouth, Keswick and Penrith Railway crosses a high bridge over the Cocker. The Sea to Sea (C2C) cycle route passes through between Workington and Tyneside, and Bassenthwaite, Crummock Water and Buttermere are a short drive, so a training partner here might well be a riding or walking partner too.
