Training in Needham Market

Independent gyms and a lake.

For a small town, Needham Market has a good spread of places to train. Needham Gym & Fitness, The Fitness Hub and The Training Ground are all independent, and Hurstlea Boxing Club trains here. HCL Osteopathy runs Pilates and Exercise Therapy offers studio sessions, and Needham Market FC, who reached the FA Vase semi-finals in 2010/11, play at Bloomfields.

Needham Lake, gravel pits flooded in the 1970s and now a nature reserve, is an easy loop for a run or walk, with the River Gipping just to its east. A running partner for the lake or a regular at the same gym gives you a reason to show up.
