Training in Littleborough

A climbing wall, a boxing gym and the Pennines.

Littleborough's public site is Littleborough Sports Centre on Calderbrook Road, run by Your Trust, with a gym, a group exercise studio, a sports hall and an indoor climbing wall. LWL Gym is the independent option for lifting, and the combat side is covered by Littleborough Boxing and Fitness Club and Average Joe's Karate.

The town sits on the western slopes of the Pennines, with Blackstone Edge rising to the east and the Rochdale Canal running through the Summit Gap. Hollingworth Lake has a 2.5-mile (4 km) path round the water, a good loop to share with a training partner before the climb to the edge.
