Training in the East Riding

Ten council centres, rolling Wolds and a coast that keeps moving.

The East Riding of Yorkshire is home to around 342,200 people (Census 2021), up 2.4% since 2011, spread over 2,479 km² of farmland, Wolds and coast. Its median age is 49, up from 45 a decade earlier, and 14.2% of residents are aged 65 to 74. In 2024/25, 65.5% of adults here did 150 minutes or more of activity a week, just ahead of England's 64.5%.

East Riding Leisure has ten centres, from Bridlington on the Promenade, with its Splash Zone, slides and Clip 'n Climb, to Beverley at Flemingate and Haltemprice in Anlaby, both with two pools, a spin studio and a 3G pitch. Around them sit CrossFit boxes in Goole, Anlaby and Allerthorpe, an MMA academy in Willerby and jiu-jitsu, boxing and judo in Goole and Beverley.

Outside, the Yorkshire Wolds Way starts at Hessle, the Trans Pennine Trail ends at Hornsea, and the clifftop paths at Bempton look out over England's only mainland gannet colony. Gymist helps you find the gyms near you and the people who train like you do.
