Training in Newport

A market town that climbs and swims.

For a market town of around 14,000 people, Newport covers a fair spread. The council pool sits in Victoria Park, Newport Rock is Shropshire's climbing centre, and Alpha Athletic and Forge Fitness handle the lifting. Crowns Fitness offers personal training, Newport Tae Kwon-Do teaches taekwondo, and Newport Salop RUFC and the cricket club play here too.

The railway closed in 1964, so most training here starts on foot. The truncated Shrewsbury and Newport Canal runs through town, and Aqualate Mere, the largest natural lake in the English Midlands, is just over the Staffordshire border. A regular partner makes those early pool lengths or canal miles far easier to keep up.
