Training in Elswick

A community pool and a basketball arena.

Elswick Community Pool and Gym is a registered charity, reopened in September 2019 by local activists and run by volunteers with a professional staff team. It offers lane and family swimming, male-only and female-only pool and gym sessions, classes from Pilates to Zumba, boxing training, and clubs for scuba diving and triathlon. The Vertu Motors Arena is home to the Newcastle Eagles, Northern Kings Gym does combat sports, and Newcastle Fitness Club and NDC Newcastle Dance Centre complete the list.

Elswick looks out over the Tyne about two miles west of the city centre, and Elswick Park has been public ground since 1881. The single-sex sessions at the pool make it easier to bring a friend who'd rather not share the lanes or the gym floor with everyone.
