Training in Willington

Two gyms and a football town's history.

Willington has two small independent gyms, Elite Fitness and Bodyforce Fitness, and football is the other big draw: Willington Football Club and Bishop Auckland Girls FC both play here. Crook, about two miles away, adds Crook Community Leisure, with a gym, daily classes and a five-lane running track.

The town has plenty of parkland with play areas, handy for a run or a bodyweight session. A training partner makes the dark months easier: someone to meet at the gym door or for a lap of the park.
