Training in Great Yarmouth

A seafront pool, a strength scene in Southtown and a coast path on the doorstep.

The borough of Great Yarmouth is home to 99,748 people (Census 2021), up 2.5% since 2011, and its median age has risen from 43 to 46. In Sport England's Active Lives survey for Nov 2024–25, 58.9% of adults here did at least 150 minutes of activity a week, and 30.9% did less than 30 minutes.

Freedom Leisure runs the two public centres. The Marina Centre on Marine Parade has a six-lane 25 m pool, a second pool with a moveable floor, Clip 'n Climb, a gym and a sports hall. Phoenix Leisure Centre in Bradwell has a pool, gym, classes, sauna and steam room. Around them sit 24-hour and budget gyms in Southtown, a bodybuilding and powerlifting gym, a CrossFit-style box, and boxing, jiu-jitsu and judo in Gorleston.

Outside, the Norfolk Coast Path runs along the beaches from Caister through Great Yarmouth and Gorleston to Hopton-on-Sea, and the Weavers' Way sets off inland along an old railway line. Gymist helps you find people who train like you do.
