Training in Holmfirth

Studios, a pool and big hills.

Holmfirth's training is mostly small and specialist. Intu Pilates & Yoga Studio, In The Flow and Core Reform cover the mat and the reformer, and Holme Valley Martial Arts Academy runs as a full-time academy. Holmfirth Community Sports Centre, the tennis club and the cricket and athletic club by the River Holme round it out. For lengths, Kirklees Active Leisure's Holmfirth Pool and Fitness Centre on Huddersfield Road has a 20 m pool and a gym.

This is hill country: the Peak District National Park boundary is 2 miles south-west, and Holme Moss climbs about 7 km from Holmfirth to 524 m. Holmfirth Harriers, a running group more than a hundred years old, are one way to find people to train with.
