Training in Ripley
A leisure centre and plenty of combat sports.
Ripley Leisure Centre, run by Places Leisure, is the town's public option, with a pool, gym, studio and sports hall. Combat sports come next: Benefit Martial Arts & Fitness, Next Level Martial Arts and Ripley School of Boxing. Fusion Yoga Studios and DruWithJu Yoga share a postcode, Amber Valley Gymnastics Academy coaches gymnastics, and Ormonde Fields has a golf course.
Ripley was an industrial town, home to the Butterley Company whose ironwork arches over St Pancras station, and the birthplace of Barnes Wallis. Today Crossley Park has a bandstand and Butterley Reservoir draws anglers and birdwatchers. Lace up with a training partner and a loop of either is a good start to the week.
