Training in Olton

Old-school iron and a canal towpath.

Olton's lifters have two very different options: Dino's Gym on Thornhill Road, family-run for bodybuilding since 1990, and Fitness First on Ulleries Road, with free weights and a functional area. K-Star Muay Thai on Hobs Moat Road, Solihull Karate Academy and two children's martial arts schools cover the mats, and Planet Ice Solihull adds a skating rink. Robin Hood Golf Club is in the southern part of the village, and Peachy in the Park Solihull is on the list too.

The Grand Union Canal passes through Olton, so the towpath is the obvious run. Olton Mere, the reservoir built to feed it, is a Site of Special Scientific Interest with no public access. Olton station has trains every half hour to Birmingham Snow Hill and to Dorridge via Solihull.
