Training in Matlock

Lanes at the Arc, weights on Chesterfield Road.

Arc Leisure Matlock on Bakewell Road is the hub: an eight-lane 25 m pool, a teaching pool, a gym and a sports hall, with Matlock Kickboxing running classes there for ages 7 and up. Parkside Fitness at Bentley Bridge is a family-run gym with free weights, classes and personal trainers, and Evolution Health & Fitness at Darwin Forest in Two Dales has a members' pool, gym and spa. Wild Yogi teaches flow and hatha yoga in town, and golfers have Matlock Golf Club.

Hall Leys Park, by the river in the town centre, is a flat start for a run along the Derwent. Trains to Derby run about hourly, so a training partner might live a stop or two down the line.
