Places in Fylde

Lytham St Annes on the coast, Kirkham and Wesham inland.

Training in Fylde

YMCA centres, independent gyms and a coast of dunes, while the pools are rebuilt.

Around 81,400 people live in Fylde (Census 2021), up 7.4% since 2011, faster than the North West's 5.2%. The median age is 50, up from 47 and ten years above England's. In Sport England's Active Lives survey for Nov 2024–25, 62.7% of adults here did at least 150 minutes of activity a week, against 64.6% for England.

Fylde's two public pools are both closed for rebuilding. Places Leisure has a 15-year contract to run St Annes Pool and Kirkham Baths, and the council approved £9.3 million for the two in January 2026; neither has a reopening date yet. Meanwhile the YMCA runs YMCA Lytham on Mythop Road and YMCA St Annes, both with gyms and sports halls. Around them sit independent gyms in Lytham, a 24-hour gym in Kirkham, CrossFit and premium strength gyms on Whitehills Business Park, and the health club at Ribby Hall Village.

Outside, there are 80 hectares of sand dunes along the coast and Fairhaven Lake between Lytham and St Annes. Whatever you train for, it's easier with someone who trains when you do. Gymist is how you find them.
