Training in Ilkeston

Two public centres and plenty around them.

Ilkeston has two council-run centres: Victoria Park Leisure Centre on Manners Road, with a 25 m pool, a learner pool, a splash pool with a flume and a 25-station gym, and Rutland Sports Park, with a gym and classes. Snap Fitness and Anytime Fitness bring chain gyms, Platinum Gym and Fitness and The Unit are independent, and The Manor Health and Racquets Club adds courts. Synergy Martial Arts and Fortress Academy cover combat sports, with Erewash Valley Gymnastics Club, an athletics club, Stanton Tennis Club and yoga too.

Victoria Park, laid out in 1897, has a tree trail and links to the cycle trail, and Bennerley Viaduct, a 443 m wrought iron span, has reopened as a cycleway and footpath. A riding partner makes the Erewash valley worth exploring.
