Training in Highwoods

A sports park, a country park, plenty of barbells.

Highwoods has two public sites. Colchester Sports Park on Cuckoo Farm Way has a gym, studio classes, a sports hall, all-weather pitches and a floodlit one-mile cycle track with a pump track. Leisure World Highwoods on Brinkley Lane is a community gym with a sports hall and outdoor courts. Around them are Fitness4Less, CrossFit Colchester and Colchester Weightlifting, personal training at Thrive Gyms and Greenes Gym, and Edgardo's Elite and Metxfit.

High Woods Country Park, opened in 1987, has 150 hectares of woods, lakes and marsh, so you have trails on the doorstep. A training partner turns a lap of the lakes or a cycle-track session into a fixed date.
