Goole Gym Market -- Overview
Goole is an East Yorkshire inland port of around 19,500 people, sitting at the meeting of the Aire and Calder Navigation and the Ouse. The port -- still the UK's furthest-inland working port -- and the M62 have shaped a working-population economy with shift workers needing 24/7 access. The gym market is small but practical: a couple of small chains, an East Riding leisure centre, and several independents serving dock workers, lorry drivers and the local college community.
