Training in Washington

A pool, CrossFit and fight gyms across 18 villages.

Washington was designated a new town in 1964 and is laid out as 18 villages, so its gyms are spread out rather than on one high street. Washington Leisure Centre, run by Everyone Active, has a 25 m six-lane pool. PureGym and JD Gyms cover open-access lifting, and CrossFit Tailored Training, The Training Club, Studio6 Fitness, Glacier Health & Fitness Club and MVMNT Culture lead a long list of independents. For combat there's Washington Taekwondo, Toukon Martial Arts, North East Jiu Jitsu and Washington Boxing Club.

Outdoors, the WWT Washington Wetland Centre has been here since 1975, and Penshaw Monument stands on its hill to the south-east. With gyms spread across so many villages, finding a training partner near yours saves a lot of driving.
