Training in Penistone

High town, long trail.

Penistone Leisure Centre is led by the community as a registered charity, with a gym, a cardio room and a main hall. Around it you'll find reformer Pilates at Form and The Fe Tree, Vyayami Yoga, Quest Taekwondo and Penistone Karate Centre, smaller gyms such as Compound Coaching and The Shed, and several swim schools. The sports centre at Penistone Grammar School, founded in 1392, completes the picture.

At 228 m Penistone is among the highest market towns in Yorkshire, and the old Woodhead line west of town is now part of the Trans Pennine Trail. Hills and long rides come built in here; a training partner keeps them in the diary.
