Training in Dunmurry

Fight gyms, a council pool and Colin Glen.

Dunmurry is a suburban town between Belfast and Lisburn, where the DeLorean sports car was built in 1981 and 1982. Brook Leisure Centre on Summerhill Road has a 25 m pool, a gym, a sports hall, a full-size GAA pitch, a 3G pitch and a hurling wall. Combat sports are well covered, with Fight Academy Ireland/Evolve Gym, Talos Grappling, McCullaghs Amateur Boxing Club and Cunningham Judo School, and independent gyms include Pure Class Fitness, Momentum Fitness and Hi-Performance Training Centre. LX Gymnastics and Studio 5 dance round it off.

Colin Glen has a parkrun, guided nature walks, a 9-hole golf course and a TrackMan driving range, and the River Lagan, now canalised, flanks the town. A Saturday parkrun is an easy first meeting with a new training partner.
