Training in South Elmsall

A council pool, small gyms and a country park.

South Elmsall grew around Frickley Colliery, one of the largest deep mines in the country until it closed in 1993. Your main stop now is Minsthorpe Leisure on Ash Grove, a council centre with a six-lane 25 m pool, a 60-station gym and a studio. Level 10 Ladies Fitness Studio, Elite Gym and The Unit Fitness add more gym space, with SESKU Muay Thai and Boxing Academy, a kung fu school, yoga and dance alongside.

Frickley Country Park opened on the reclaimed colliery site in 2009 with walks and play areas, and Frickley Country parkrun is a free weekly 5k. Cycling has deep roots too: the town's social cycling club was founded in 1934 and relaunched as Elmsall road club. A riding partner or a parkrun pacer is a good place to start.
