Training in Stoke Bishop

Small studios between the Downs and the river.

There's no chain gym in Stoke Bishop, so training here is small and specialist. Islandz Pilates is instructor Holly Hill's practice, with mat and reformer Pilates taught face to face and over Zoom, and the Matrix Yoga & Wellness Temple runs yoga and meditation classes. Checkmat BJJ Bristol covers Brazilian jiu-jitsu, Shirehampton Colts play junior football, and there are tennis courts at Dingle Close.

The Downs run along Stoke Bishop's edge, and in term time the University of Bristol's large halls of residence there bring in students who are new to the city and keen to find someone to train with. If you've just arrived, a running partner on the Downs is one of the quickest ways to settle in.
