Training in Selly Oak

A student district with a canal through it.

The Gym Group Selly Oak is the open-access option, and Revolution Gymnastics, Twist Xtreme Revolution Cheerleading and Adage Dance & Fitness Studios cover tumbling and dance. Weoley Hill has cricket, tennis and bowls, Harborne Rugby Club plays here, and South Birmingham Paddle Club is on the list too. The university's own pool and gyms are filed under neighbouring Bournbrook.

The Worcester & Birmingham Canal runs through the district, and Selly Oak Park still holds the stump of the old oak. With the University of Birmingham next door, a lot of people here are new to the city and glad of a running partner or someone to lift with.
