Training in Londonderry

Pools, a climbing wall and a lot of mat time.

The council runs four centres across the city. Foyle Arena on the Limavady Road has a pool, a gym and a climbing wall, Templemore Sports Complex on the Buncrana Road and the City Baths on William Street both have pools, and Brooke Park has a gym with female-only health suite sessions. Around them sit PureGym, CrossFit Derry, strength gyms such as TOPTIER and Savage Strength, women-only personal training at Synergy, Pilates and hot yoga, and a deep list of combat gyms, from Team Torres Derry's Brazilian jiu-jitsu to kickboxing and boxing clubs.

The city is officially Londonderry and commonly known as Derry. The Foyle divides it into the Cityside and the Waterside, crossed on foot by the Peace Bridge, and the intact 17th-century walls make a walkway round the old town. A loop of the walls or the river is a good first session with a new training partner, and Derry City parkrun is another way to meet runners.
