Training in Glossop

Mill town, moorland on every side.

Glossop grew on cotton and calico, and many of its mill buildings still stand. Training here runs from MyActive Glossop, with a gym of more than 30 stations, a three-court sports hall and two squash courts, to CrossFit Glossop, A2Z Fitness and Fit Factory Glossop. Go Hard Boxing & Fitness, Evade Blackbelt School, Dave Breed Blackbelt Academy and High Peak Budo cover combat sports, while The Pilates Studio, Glossop Gymnastics Club and a tai chi class fill out the list.

Glossop parkrun meets in Manor Park on Saturdays, and the moors around town climb above 600 m, with the Pennine Way crossing the Snake Pass road. Hill reps on that kind of ground go better with someone keeping pace beside you.
