Training in Gainsborough

A leisure centre, a box and plenty of mats.

Most of Gainsborough's training gathers around West Lindsey Leisure Centre on The Avenue, which has two pools, a 100-station gym, a sports hall, a squash court and a studio. Snap Fitness covers open-access lifting, and independents such as CrossFit Gainsborough, Stocky's Gym & Fitness, Becketts Health and Primal Integr8 fill in around it. Combat sport has real depth here: Franco's Boxing Club, Gainsborough Eagles Judo Kwai, Rebels Taekwondo and several karate schools.

Out of doors, the riverbanks along the Trent were renovated in 2002 for public access, and Richmond Park in the north of town has been a public park since 1947. The town also has its own running club, Gainsborough & Morton Striders, and a parkrun at Thonock Lane Farm. A regular partner makes the early starts easier.
