Training in Hillsborough

A big leisure centre and a lot of fighting sports.

Hillsborough Leisure Centre on Beulah Road is the anchor: two 20 m pools, one with slides and a wave machine, a six-court sports hall, a gym, two studios and a cycling studio. Everyone Active also runs Wisewood Sports Centre, with a gym, a sports hall and a floodlit artificial pitch. Beyond them the list leans towards fighting sports: Sheffield Boxing Centre, Glynn Rhodes Boxing, Heathen Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Curaik Martial Arts and two karate schools, plus independent gyms such as Gravity Fitness and LS Fitness.

Hillsborough Park covers 49 acres and is one of the council's 13 city parks. Its junior parkrun is a free 2 km for 4 to 14 year olds every Sunday at 9am, and Hillsborough Arena, inside the park, has pitches for hire. The Yellow tram stops at the park, so a training partner from anywhere along the line can meet you there.

Hillsborough gym questions

What people ask.

How many gyms are there in Hillsborough?

Gymist lists 29 gyms, leisure centres and clubs in Hillsborough, from Hillsborough Leisure Centre and Wisewood Sports Centre to boxing, jiu-jitsu, karate, pole and dance studios.

Is Hillsborough Leisure Centre staying open during its refurbishment?

That is the plan. In October 2026 the council proposed an £11m refurbishment starting in April 2027, delivered in phases so parts of the centre stay available rather than closing completely. The proposals were out for consultation in October and November 2026.
