Training in Darley Abbey

Small studios beside a big riverside park.

Training here tends to be small and personal: one-to-one sessions at ONE|DZ, a women's gym at Ladies Gym Derby, Pilates at Body in Mind, and yoga and wellness classes at the Old Stable studio, Wellness With Lou and Balanced Beth Yoga. For a bigger room, the University of Derby Sports Centre on Kedleston Road has a gym, a climbing wall, two squash courts, a sports hall and two 3G pitches. CrossFit Deviant, Hotpod Yoga Derby and PureGym Derby Meteor Centre round out the list.

Darley Park stretches for 80 acres along the River Derwent, with Derby Rowing Club at its southern end, and the mills that gave the village its living are part of the Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage Site. A riverside loop is easier to keep up with someone else: an early run before work, or a walk to loosen off after a class.
