Training in Rochester

Two banks, one river.

Rochester's training runs over both banks of the Medway. On the east side are Rochester Health Club, Kings Rochester Sports Centre, Granite Gym and two yoga and wellness studios. Over Rochester Bridge in Strood you'll find The Gym Group, the council's Strood Sports Centre with its pool and gym, a Kyushin Ryu ju-jitsu club and Strood ABC. Nuffield Health Medway, MuscleHut, Infinite Fitness and Combat Sports Academy fill out the list.

Under the castle and cathedral, the river itself is busy with sailing and rowing. From Rochester station, high-speed trains reach St Pancras in under 40 minutes, so a training partner on the same timetable helps if you commute.
