Training in Spennymoor
A wave pool, a run of independents and a few fight gyms.
Spennymoor Leisure Centre has County Durham's only wave pool and water slide, a gym with free weights, studios for group classes and a sports hall, and South Durham Gymnastics is based there. Independent gyms fill in the rest: The Fitness Lab Durham, Fitness By Instruction and Bodies Health & Fitness. For combat sports there's Wolf Thai Boxing and Chikara Dojo, and Earth and Ember Yoga runs yoga in town.
Victoria Jubilee Park, given to the town by Queen Victoria on land that was once part of the Whitworth Hall estate, is the obvious place for a run or an outdoor circuit. Bring a friend: a regular pad partner at the Thai boxing gym or someone for an early swim makes the habit easier to keep.
