Training in Wakefield West

A stadium, a 24-hour gym and fight gyms.

Training here starts at the track. Thornes Park Stadium on Horbury Road has a 76-station gym, a six-lane 60 m indoor track, a 10-lane outdoor track and a HYROX training area. On Dewsbury Road, The Gym Group runs 24 hours with six Olympic platforms and its own HYROX classes, and AStar Muscle and Fitness is the independent option. Guts Over Fear teaches Muay Thai and MMA, Game Fight BJJ covers jiu-jitsu, and there are two dance schools.

Thornes Park spreads over 60 hectares, under a mile from the city centre, with a 2-mile circular path and exercise stations along the way. Wakefield Thornes parkrun and its junior event run there too, so a Saturday 5k with someone new is easy to arrange.
