Training in Consett

Pools, grappling and the C2C.

Consett Leisure Centre has two pools, an eight-court sports hall and squash courts, and PureGym, OneGym, Spartan Performance and Steel Town Gym cover the gym floor. Grappling is well served, with Kensho BJJ and The Dungeon Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, and Alpha Boxing and Kyokushin karate add striking. Consett AFC and Consett Rugby Club handle team sport.

The steelworks closed in 1980, and the town's height means it typically runs at least 2 °C colder than Durham, so winter training is easier with someone expecting you. The C2C cycle route runs through the town, the Lanchester Valley path heads 12 miles to Durham, and Derwent Reservoir lies just to the west.

Getting there

  • Go North East buses
  • C2C cycle route

Train outdoors
