Training in Fermanagh and Omagh

A rural district built around water, with one big pool for now and a second on the way.

Fermanagh and Omagh had 116,800 residents at Census 2021, the smallest of Northern Ireland's 11 council areas, up 3.2% since 2011. It is an older and more rural district than most: 18.4% of residents are 65 or over, against 17.2% across Northern Ireland. 44% of adults here took part in sport in the past year in 2024/25, below the Northern Ireland figure of 51%.

The council runs Omagh Leisure Complex, with a 25 m pool, a 14 m learner pool, a running track and a 4G pitch, plus Castle Park Leisure Centre in Lisnaskea and the Bawnacre Centre in Irvinestown. In Enniskillen the Fermanagh Lakeland Forum is being rebuilt: a £70 million centre with an eight-lane pool is due in 2028, and Broadmeadow Fitness is the temporary gym meanwhile. Around them sit functional gyms in Omagh and Enniskillen, MMA, ju-jitsu and boxing, and rowing and paddling clubs on the Erne.

Whether you swim in Omagh or paddle on Lough Erne, training is easier with the right company. Gymist is how you find them.
