Training in Featherstone

Small gyms, martial arts and rugby league.

Featherstone's training is mostly small and local. Bodyworks Gym and Featherstone Weightlifting cover lifting, Hunter Martial Arts and Savage Martial Arts teach on the mats, and there's burlesque dance with the Featherstone Follies and performance dance at PerformanceWorx. Two swim schools run lessons, and Featherstone Lions play community rugby league at the Mill Pond Stadium with teams from under-7s to open age.

Purston Park, with its lake, is the green space in town, and the station on the Pontefract Line has hourly trains to Leeds and Knottingley. In a town this size, the person you want to train with may well live on your street.
