Training in Handbridge
Tennis and tai chi by the Dee.
Handbridge's main training venue is Chester Lawn Tennis Club, with ten courts, eight artificial grass and two hard, and coaching for adults from complete beginners up. Ji Siu Tai Chi Chuan teaches Wu style tai chi in Chester for all ages and fitness levels, and Soccer Stars Academy coaches children's football. The city centre's pools and gyms are over the river.
The Dee is the draw outdoors: the Old Dee Bridge dates from 1353, and Edgar's Field, with its Roman shrine to Minerva, sits beside it. A riverside run is better shared, and a tennis partner is something you'll need anyway.
