Gyms in Roker
Roker's seafront runs north of the Wear's mouth, and behind it a Victorian park, a ladies-only gym and a sword-art dojo give you more than the beach.

Training in Roker
Sea, sailing and a Victorian park.
Roker trains by the sea. Sunderland Yacht Club sails from the seafront, Marine House Gym is the independent gym, and Club Zest is a ladies-only gym with group classes and personal training. Renyukan Iaido and Jodo Dojo teaches the Japanese sword and staff arts, and Roker Park has public tennis and basketball courts.
Roker Park opened in 1880 and runs down through a ravine to the beach, with a boating lake, bowling greens and multi-purpose courts. Above the sand there are upper and lower promenades, and Seaburn is the next stretch of coast north, so a sea-front run can be as long as you like. It's easier to keep it up with a regular partner.
