Training in Retford

Market-town gyms, riverside runs.

Retford has more independent gyms than you might expect for a market town. RT Fit, 180 Fitness, MyGym, Club Energy, VRTX Fitness and Goodbodys 24/7 sit alongside Snap Fitness and Retford Leisure Centre on Old Hall Drive, with its two pools and studios. For something quieter there's The Reformer Room, Yoga Barn, Kula Springs and two Pilates teachers, and martial artists can pick from Lynx, Storm, Kairos, shotokan karate and Retford Judo Club.

King's Park covers about 10 hectares on both banks of the Idle, and the Chesterfield Canal, built through town in 1777, gives you a flat towpath. Retford Athletic Club and the rugby, cricket and tennis clubs are there if you'd rather train with a team, and Gymist helps you find one person who trains when you do.
