Burton upon Trent Gym Market - Overview
Burton upon Trent is the historic capital of British brewing, with a heritage going back to monastic ales and a current line-up that includes Molson Coors (formerly Bass), Marston's, Carling and the National Brewery Centre. The town's industrial base, plus its location on the Trent between Derby and Tamworth, supports a healthy gym market. PureGym, énergie Fitness and Anytime Fitness operate locally; East Staffordshire Borough Council leisure facilities cover the community tier, alongside independent strength gyms and CrossFit boxes.
