Training in Warwick District

The region's most active council area, with three towns of pools, parks and studios.

Warwick District is home to around 148,500 people (Census 2021), up 7.8% since 2011, with a median age of 40. About two-thirds of them live in the joined-up towns of Leamington Spa, Warwick and Whitnash, with Kenilworth to the north. It is the most active council area in the region: in Sport England's Nov 2024–25 survey, 75.2% of adults did 150 minutes or more of activity a week, against 64.5% across England.

Everyone Active runs the council's centres: Newbold Comyn in Leamington, after a £14.5m refurbishment, St Nicholas Park in Warwick, Castle Farm and the newly developed Abbey Fields pool in Kenilworth, and the John Atkinson Sports Centre at Myton School. On the University of Warwick campus, the Sports and Wellness Hub has a 12-lane 25 m pool and climbing walls, with public memberships. Around them sit CrossFit and strength gyms, jiu-jitsu and judo clubs, and plenty of Pilates and yoga studios.

Whether you're here for the university or have trained here for years, it's easier to keep going with the right company. Gymist is how you find them.
