Training in Waltham Cross

Grappling, boxing and the Lee Valley.

The Waltham Cross post town stretches north into Cheshunt, so many of the gyms here carry Cheshunt's name: PureGym Cheshunt, Lifestyle Fitness, the long-running Monster Gym, Cheshunt Boxing Club and the community sports park with its gym, squash and bowls. Closer to the Eleanor Cross you'll find Hertz Grappling, in an arch at Theobalds Grove station, and Waltham Cross Amateur Boxing Club. V & E Judo, ETHOS jiu-jitsu and a couple of small fitness studios fill out the mix.

Head east and you reach the River Lea, where the Lee Valley White Water Centre, built for London 2012, runs rafting and kayaking. With grappling, boxing and white water this close, a sparring partner or a paddling buddy is easy to put to use.
