Training in Tipton

A track, a pool and the towpaths.

Kore runs both of Tipton's public centres. Tipton Leisure Centre on Alexandra Road has a 25 m pool, a 12.5 m teaching pool, a 64-station fitness suite and a dance studio. Sandwell Rackets Centre on Wednesbury Oak Road, formerly Tipton Sports Academy, has an eight-lane athletics track, four indoor and two outdoor tennis courts, three indoor padel courts and a gym. Beyond those, Rudis Fitness, Dominator Gym and Hybrid Studios are the independents, Gymmies Boxing & Fitness, William Perry ABC and Black Country Martial Arts Academy lead the combat gyms, and Aerial Jacks teaches pole and circus.

Tipton's surviving Old and New Main Line canal towpaths are used for cycling and leisure today, a ready-made route for a run with a training partner. William Perry, the Tipton Slasher, was a Victorian bare-knuckle champion of England, and his statue stands in Coronation Gardens.
