Training in Manningtree

A small town with dojos, gyms and the Stour.

Small as it is, Manningtree has more training than you might expect. SMART Dojos teaches martial arts, Live Fit Gym and Fitness@Summers Park cover the gym side, and Manningtree Sports Centre and Manningtree BootCamp add group sessions. For something gentler there's Yoga with Gipe, Onespace Studios and Reconnect Studio, and Lawford House Pool is a private hydrotherapy pool you can hire.

The town sits on the River Stour at the eastern edge of Dedham Vale, and Stour Sailing Club is based here. A riverside walk or a Saturday sail is easier to keep up with a regular partner.
