Training in Normanton

A council pool, a strength gym and plenty of mats.

Normanton's collieries once employed over 10,000 men; today the town's training starts at Normanton Leisure on Market Street, with a six-lane 25 m pool, a functional training gym and a group cycle studio. UltraFlex Normanton on Ripley Drive adds strength and cardio kit, a sauna and an ice bath. Around them are Viper Martial Arts Academy, Black Widow Taekwondo and FMA Karate Academy, plus Pilates, yoga, aerial fitness and dance.

The parish runs north to the River Calder, and the council is opening Newland Country Park on its banks near the town. Rugby league is the big local sport, with Normanton Knights at Queen Elizabeth Drive, so a training partner for preseason running or a lane buddy at the leisure centre is rarely far away.
