Correction (4 October 2026): an earlier version of this page listed places and details we could not stand behind. It has been rewritten from scratch: every place below was confirmed at two independent sources on 4 October 2026, and every price was copied from the page it was published on.
Looking for somewhere to train in Richmond without guessing at the details? This page covers three fitness venues in and around Richmond: a council recreation centre with a pool and gyms, a gym in Abbotsford that says it has no set hours, and an MMA gym in Cremorne.
Each place was checked against its own website or council page, and against OpenStreetMap where the map holds a matching entry. We go on stated criteria only: published hours, listed prices, and the classes and facilities each place names itself. One of the three shows no price we copied.
That is the full count, three places, not a league table.
