Training in Romford
Ice, water, judo and strength.
Romford's main public centre is Sapphire Ice & Leisure on Western Road, with an eight-lane 25 m pool, a teaching pool and a full-sized ice rink, home ice for the Raiders hockey team. North of the town, Noak Hill Sports Complex has floodlit pitches, tennis courts and a 60 m sprint track, and Iron Phoenix Fitness runs WODs, Olympic lifting and strength classes on the same site. Martial arts here means judo, at Ford Judo Club and at Judokai Romford in Havering-atte-Bower, and gymnastics comes from Havering Gymnastics Club at Bower Park Academy and Harlequin Gymnastics Club.
The town is on the Elizabeth line and is the western end of the Liberty line to Upminster, so it's easy to meet someone halfway. Raphael Park, part of the 1910s Romford Garden Suburb, is a good place for a run or an outdoor session.
