Training in Ilford
A chain gym, mats and a track.
For open-access lifting, The Gym Group on Romford Road is the chain option. Redbridge Judo Club and GTI Taekwondo cover martial arts, Yoga with Rashmi and Yoga with Shruti teach yoga, Ilford Athletics Club and Ilford Sports Club are here too, and Barkingside Football Club plays at Cricklefield Stadium. Out towards Barkingside, the charity-run Redbridge Sports Centre adds a gym, squash and badminton.
Valentines Park is the largest green space in the borough, and South Park and the Roding Valley give you more room to run. A training partner makes a regular park loop or a judo night easier to keep, and the Elizabeth line puts plenty of people within reach.
