Leyburn Gym Market -- Overview
Leyburn is a small Wensleydale market town of around 2,200 residents, sitting at the gateway to the Yorkshire Dales. The town's economy is shaped by tourism, farming and a long-established Tuesday market. The fitness market is small but practical: a council-run leisure centre, a couple of independent gyms and small-group PT studios serving farmers, hospitality workers and the local outdoor community. National chains are a 25-30 minute drive in Northallerton, Richmond or Catterick.
