Training in Ilkley

Studios in town, the moor above it.

Ilkley's list leans towards studios: The Hot Yoga Chapel, Ilkley Yoga Centre, Leiko Pilates, Pure Pilates Ilkley and Zen Studio among them. For weights there's Heavy Metal Gym, XO Fitness and The Ilkley Fitness Centre, while Evolution Gracie Jiu Jitsu, Ilkley Karate Club and Kokoro Academy cover martial arts and Clip 'n Climb gives you a wall. Ilkley Pool and Lido on Denton Road has an indoor pool and tennis courts; the unheated lido, built in 1935, is closed until its 2027 season. Ilkley Lawn Tennis and Squash Club has been going since 1880.

Then there's the moor. Ilkley Moor rises south of the town, the Cow and Calf rocks above it are a climbing spot and have hosted a Tour de Yorkshire summit finish, and the Dales Way sets off from the Old Bridge on its 84 miles to Bowness-on-Windermere. Long hill days go better with company, so find someone who wants the same Saturday.
