Training in Sleaford

A riverside pool and a strong set of independents.

Sleaford's public pool sits beside the River Slea on Boston Road. Sleaford Leisure Centre began as an outdoor lido in 1886 and now has a 25 m pool, a splash pool, a gym and a sauna. GLL's second site, Better Gym Sleaford on East Road, adds a teaching pool, a squash court and a 3G pitch. Around them are independents: Oakley Fit, New Image Gym, Zone Fitness and Prevail Strength and Conditioning, plus Apex Combat MMA, a boxing academy, taekwondo and a handful of yoga and Pilates teachers.

Sleaford Striders have run here since 1984, and the 13.8-acre recreation ground is also on Boston Road, so a first run with someone new needn't go far. Two local nature reserves, Lollycocks Field and Mareham Pastures, are inside the parish for longer walks and runs.
