Training in Newtownabbey

A big council centre and a lot of mats.

Valley Leisure Centre on Church Road is the anchor: a 25 m pool, a Technogym fitness suite, a cycle studio, squash and a ring of 3G pitches, with the V36 skatepark next door. Around it sit independent gyms such as MaxFit, Revolution Fitness and Re:Form, Avenge CrossFit, and a deep bench of combat sport: Abbey Judo Club, Valley Ju-Jitsu, Ulidia Taekwondo, Newtownabbey Grappling Academy, and boxing in Rathcoole and Monkstown.

Out of doors, the town wraps around Carnmoney Hill, and the wooded glens of the Three Mile Water and the Glas-na-Bradan cut through it towards Belfast Lough. A hill rep or a glen run is easier to keep up with a training partner who lives a few streets away.
