Training in Handsworth
A council pool, combat and cricket.
Handsworth Wellbeing Centre on Holly Road is the place to start: the council runs a gym, fitness classes, swimming, sauna and steam, and courts there. Domin8 Academy covers combat sports, Muscle is a small independent gym, and MagicHoops runs basketball. Handsworth Cricket Club plays here too.
Handsworth Park was restored in 2006 and is the obvious place for a run or a session outdoors. Kickboxer Kash Gill, a four-time world champion, and former British heavyweight boxer Bunny Johnson both have Handsworth roots, so there's a fighting pedigree if you're looking for a sparring partner.
