Training in Whitworth
A community pool and Thai boxing.
Whitworth Leisure Centre on John Street opened in 2003, built largely through the Community Leisure Association of Whitworth to replace the old pool, and it has a four-lane 25 m pool. Metcon Gym Whitworth is the town's independent gym, Valley Thai Boxing Club teaches Muay Thai, and Samba Dance & Fitness and Yoga With Granville bring classes.
The River Spodden runs south through Healey Dell, a local nature reserve since 1976 with a viaduct 150 feet above the water, and Brown Wardle Hill, 400 m on the county border, is a hang-gliding spot. Cowm Reservoir has a waterski centre. Moor and dell are both better with someone alongside.
