Training in Knottingley
Gyms, the mats and the river.
Knottingley sits on the River Aire and the Aire and Calder Navigation, where coal barges ran to Ferrybridge power station until 2002, and Kellingley Colliery worked until December 2015. For training there's Formula Fitness and the class-based House of HiiT, Phoenix Martial Arts, Knottingley Judo Club and SYD Ringside Boxing Club, plus a dance school and Knottingley Sports Centre.
The town has a half-hourly train to Leeds, on two routes through Pontefract, and buses to Castleford, Selby and Wakefield, so the wider district's pools are within reach. A training partner who shares the journey is the simplest way to make that trip a habit.
