Gyms in Workington

Workington sits astride the River Derwent where it meets the Solway Firth, and it trains on a 10 m climbing wall, under barbells at a strongman gym and in a string of fight gyms.

Training in Workington

Pool, wall, barbells and fight gyms.

Workington Leisure Centre is the big public site: 25 m and teaching pools, a 90-station gym, squash and a 10 m climbing wall. Strength is well covered, with Crossfit Stormbreaker, Cumberland Strongman Academy and independents such as Empire Gym, Intrim Fitness Centre and Ted's Gym Health Studio, plus Re-Energize Ladies Gym for women. For combat there's Tapout Knockout MMA & Jujitsu, HFAMMA's Sukata BJJ, Ox Fight Academy and Precision Krav Maga.

This is a rugby league and speedway town: Workington Town play at Derwent Park, the Comets race at Northside, and the Uppies and Downies ball game goes back to medieval times. Watching all that tends to make people want to train, and a belayer for the climbing wall or a regular lifting partner makes it stick.
