Within ten minutes of the market

The two shopping centres and the riverside
Castle Mall was renamed the Castle Quarter in mid 2019 and holds one of the three PureGyms. Chapelfield became Chantry Place in October 2020, though nobody born here says so. Riverside, the post industrial strip along Wherry Road, carries the Odeon, the Riverside Leisure Centre and the second PureGym.
North of the river, Anglia Square is being rebuilt in a £350m scheme by Aviva Capital Partners with Norwich City Council and a £34m Homes England grant, with up to 1,100 homes plus 8,000 square metres of retail, office and leisure space, and construction required to commence by July 2026. If you live in NR3, the gym map here will look different in a few years.
City centre trade offs
The centre gives you two chain boxes open round the clock at budget prices, one strong independent at £29.99, and a tight little strength room by the castle. What it does not give you is space. Nobody in NR1 is fitting a fifty metre pool or an eight lane sprint track, so if that is what you want, look at Sportspark in NR4.
Parking is the other cost. Everything listed here is a walk or a bus ride from the city core, which is an advantage if you live in the Golden Triangle or study at Norwich University of the Arts, whose twelve buildings all sit in the centre, and a nuisance if you are driving in from Sprowston.
Every gym in the city centre
Within walking or a short drive of the centre. Areas overlap, so a gym can appear on more than one area page.
