Training in Horbury

Old-school iron, karate and studios.

Horbury built railway wagons for most of the last century; its training now runs from Muscle World, a family-run gym on Cluntergate open from 6am on weekdays, to Ultra Gym and British Combat Academy. Karate is well covered, with White Tiger, Eagle Rose and the West Yorkshire Shotokan association, and there's pole fitness at Pole Passion, Pilates and barre at Roots, and yoga at Bodhi. Slazenger Sports and Social Club, on the old Slazenger factory site, has floodlit grounds for many sports.

The River Calder and the Calder and Hebble Navigation run along the south of the town, and Carr Lodge Park is closer in. With no station of its own, a gym buddy who shares your lift or your bus to Wakefield or Ossett makes the early sessions easier.
