Training in Tamworth

Snow, a pool and a big gym under one roof, and room for more people to start.

Tamworth is home to around 78,600 people (Census 2021), up 2.4% since 2011, with a median age of 40. It has a lot of people still building the habit: in Nov 2024–25, 56.8% of adults did 150 minutes or more of activity a week, against 64.5% across England, and 33.1% did less than 30 minutes.

Much of the town's training happens at the SnowDome, which has a real-snow slope, ice skating, climbing, a 25 m full-width pool and a 12,000 sq ft gym with a 60 m indoor running track. Bannatyne on Bonehill Road adds a 20 m pool and more than 90 classes a week. Around them are Core 300, an official HYROX gym, the 24-hour Claymore Gym in Wilnecote, CrossFit Tamworth, Gracie Barra jiu-jitsu and Immortal MMA.

Every Saturday at 9am there's parkrun in the Castle Grounds. It's easier to keep going with the right company, and Gymist is how you find them.
