Training in Hanley

A certified track and a lot of mats.

Northwood Stadium on Keelings Road is Staffordshire's only certified track and field facility. Members can use the track and a strength and cardio gym, and there's a 1,600 mΒ² sports hall with squash, and a floodlit 3G pitch for hire. Around it, Hanley's list is mostly fighting: Origin BJJ at Hallfield Works on Festing Street, Kamikaze Kickboxing, Hulton Abbey Amateur Boxing Club, Stoke Combat Academy and Maddogs Fitness. Stone Strength and Conditioning and Transform Hub cover strength and coaching, and Northwood Valiants play basketball.

Hanley Park covers about 63 acres, with the Caldon Canal running through it, and Central Forest Park was made on the old Hanley Deep Pit site. Both make a good meeting point for a run with a training partner.
