Training in Darwen
CrossFit, yoga and a moor on the doorstep.
Darwen's list is small and varied: CrossFit DeltaFox, the independent Primal Fitness Gym, Yoga Love Collective and Genjitsu Martial Arts, with a community sports field and cafe at Square Meadow. For a pool, Darwen Leisure Centre on The Green has a 25 m eight-lane pool and a teaching pool, plus a refurbished gym with a freestanding rig, a studio and a sports hall.
The real training ground is the moor. A path from Bold Venture Park leads up to the Jubilee Tower, about 374 m up, and from the top you can see Blackpool Tower on a clear day. Sunnyhurst Wood and Whitehall Park are closer to town, and the River Darwen runs through the middle. A hill session is easier to start with someone waiting at the bottom.
