Training in Woking

A fast-train commuter town with big public centres and heath on its edge.

Woking is home to around 103,900 people (Census 2021), up 4.8% since 2011, with a median age of 40. It's a town of working-age commuters: 22.8% of residents are aged 35 to 49. In Sport England's Active Lives survey for Nov 2024–25, 67.4% of adults did at least 150 minutes of activity a week, above England's 64.6%.

Everyone Active runs the four public sites. Woking Leisure Centre and Pool in the Park sit side by side in Woking Park: a 120-station gym, a 10-court sports hall and five squash courts, then a 25 m six-lane pool and a leisure lagoon with flumes and a wave machine. Eastwood Leisure Centre in Sheerwater has its own 25 m pool, and Woking Sportsbox on Egley Road has an eight-lane, 400 m track. Around them are David Lloyd Woking, The Warehouse Gym in West Byfleet, kickboxing and Muay Thai in Old Woking and jiu-jitsu in Maybury.

About 60% of the borough is Green Belt, with Horsell Common and the Basingstoke Canal close to the centre. Whatever you train for, it's easier with company. Gymist is how you find them.
