Training in Saffron Walden

A cluster of gyms and fight clubs, plus yoga.

Saffron Walden's gyms cluster together: Bearwalden CrossFit, JustGym, Bellwether Boxing & Fitness, The MMA Room and Saffron Walden Judo Club all share the CB11 3AQ postcode, so one trip covers lifting, conditioning and fight training. Saffron Walden Karate Club adds another martial art, and for slower work there's A Fine Balance for yoga and Pilates, Hotpod Yoga and The Yoga Shed.

On the Common, near the castle ruins, is the largest turf maze of its kind in England, about 30 m across, and Bridge End Gardens are seven linked gardens with their own hedge maze. Both make a gentle route for a recovery walk with your training partner.
