Training in Telford

New-town gyms, old-town pools.

Telford was designated a new town in 1963 and pulled in older towns such as Wellington, Oakengates, Madeley and Dawley. The chains are all here, from The Gym Group and PureGym to Anytime Fitness and Nuffield Health, and so is Telford Ice Rink. Around them are council leisure centres at Wellington and Oakengates, two CrossFit boxes, independent strength gyms like Foundry, and a long list of kickboxing, Muay Thai, jiu-jitsu, judo, krav maga and boxing clubs.

Telford Town Park sits right beside the shopping centre and hosts a free parkrun every Saturday, and the Silkin Way follows an old railway line through it. For hills, the Wrekin rises to 407 m on the edge of town. Both are better with company, whether that's a regular Saturday 5k partner or someone to haul up the Wrekin with.
