Gyms in Seaham

A harbour town on the Durham coast, where sea glass washes up on the beaches and independent gyms line the streets back from the front.

Training in Seaham

Independent gyms by the sea.

Seaham runs on independents: FIT 24, East Coast Fitness, ATD Fitness, Bruces Gym, Gym 55 and East Durham Fitness. Seaham Leisure Centre adds a gym, studio, sports hall and squash court. TFT MMA and Combat Taekwondo UK cover fighting, SW Pole Fitness teaches pole, and Blooming Bamboo Yoga and YOUGA run yoga.

The harbour, built in 1828 and officially opened after its expansion in 1905, uses a series of interconnecting locks rather than two walls, and the steel soldier known locally as Tommy stands on the seafront. Glass dumped from an old bottleworks washes up as sea glass on the beaches, which gives a coastal run with a training partner something to look for on the way back.
