Training in Pity Me
Abbey's gym floor, then martial arts and dance.
Abbey Leisure Centre on Abbey Road is the anchor. Thrive Leisure's refurbished gym there has around 80 pieces of Technogym kit, including plate-loaded machines and a power rack, and its virtual studio runs more than 100 classes a week. Around it you'll find Healthlands Ladies Fitness Club, Red Tiger Academy and UKTC Taekwondo for martial arts, SwingFit Dance, Steps2Fitness and Durham Moor Tennis Club.
A class timetable that size makes it easy to settle on a regular slot with someone, and tennis at Durham Moor needs a partner anyway. Go North East buses serve the Arnison Centre retail park on the village edge from Durham, Newcastle and Sunderland, so a training partner from across the area can reach you without a car.
