Training in Glenrothes

Three pools, a track and a strong fight scene.

Designated in 1948, Glenrothes had 37,468 people in 2022. Its main public centre, Michael Woods Sports and Leisure Centre, has a 25 m pool, a 20 m pool, a warm pool, a gym, a velo studio, an athletics track and an eight-court hall. The Gym Group and Gym 64 are the open-gym options, with Balbirnie Fitness Centre, Empowered By Fitness and CrossFit Glenrothes alongside. For fighting there's Glenrothes Boxing Club, Rising Phoenix BJJ with gi and no-gi classes, Black Devils Muay Thai and Inspire Boxing & Fitness, and Pole Power Fitness and Realistic Pilates Fife round it off.

The River Leven valley runs east to west through the middle of town, with Riverside Park along it, and Balbirnie Park has ancient woodland and a large collection of rhododendrons. The town's northern edge reaches the Lomond Hills Regional Park, so hill days are close. A partner makes the early starts easier.
