Training in North Shields

Fight gyms, strength and the Fish Quay.

Combat sports lead the list. Serenity Jiu Jitsu, SBG North Tyneside for MMA, kickboxing, wrestling and jiu-jitsu, Lionheart Muay Thai, Tempest Martial Arts, Krav Maga Newcastle and two karate clubs all train here. For lifting there's Forged Training, the YMCA Gym, We Rise and Coast Fit Gym, and the council's Parks Sports Centre on Howdon Road has a sports hall, artificial pitches and indoor and outdoor bowling greens. Jasmine Yoga & Wellbeing, iYogaBody and The Little Pilates Company handle the slower work.

The Fish Quay has been in use since the 1870s, and the Shields Ferry crosses to South Shields every half hour. Northumberland Park, on the border with Tynemouth, and Redburn Dene, laid out along a stream on old dockland, give you green space for intervals or an easy jog with a training partner.
