Training in Royston
A pool, a CrossFit box and a heath to climb.
Royston's main public centre is Royston Leisure Centre on Woodcock Road, with a 25 m pool, a gym, a studio for classes, a cycling studio and a four-court sports hall. Up on Baldock Road, CrossFit Royston runs coached classes and open gym from The Heath. Only Gyms Fitness adds another weights floor, and for martial arts there's Royston Shotokan Karate Association, Melbourn Judo Club and GMax Academy, which teaches Chinese martial arts and kickboxing. Yoga with Aline and two basketball teams complete the list.
Therfield Heath is a nature reserve on the hill southwest of town, and the Icknield Way Path passes close by, so a hill session is never far off. A training partner turns that climb from a plan into a habit.
