Training in Lenton
Barbells, BJJ and a community pool.
Lenton takes its name from the River Leen, and today it's largely residential and popular with students, with the University of Nottingham and the Queen's Medical Centre close by. Nottingham Strong on Church Street is a barbell, strength and fitness gym open from 6am on weekdays. Total BJJ calls itself an award-winning Brazilian jiu-jitsu academy in Lenton. The university's Jubilee Sports Centre, Motion Performance, Pfaesthetos Gym and Yoga with Fiona complete the list.
The Lenton Centre on Willoughby Street, bought by local residents for £10 in 2004, runs a community gym and pool, with adult lane swims from 7:30am. A lot of people here are new to the city, so finding someone who trains when you do is easier than it sounds.
