Training in Hemsworth
Martial arts, a strength gym and a water park.
Hemsworth was a one-industry coal town until the pits closed in the 1980s. Its fullest training option today is Legacy MMA & The Fitness Suite on Bank Street, which teaches MMA, BJJ, wrestling, Muay Thai and boxing and has a strength and conditioning gym with HYROX-style classes. Vanquish, Phoenix and Chuldow add more martial arts, El Dance Studios teaches dance, and GolfTech Studio is an indoor golf studio.
Hemsworth Water Park, on the outskirts, has two lakes and a boating lake, a good loop for a run or a walk with company. Rugby union at Hemsworth RUFC and the Sandygate football complex fill out the list, and a training partner is worth having when the gym options are few.
