Norfolk
A resort with an older resident base
Cromer has 7,524 residents, down on 2011, and sits about 23 miles north of Norwich. Pier, crab fishery, a summer that triples the population and a winter that empties it. North Norfolk as a whole is 34.2% aged 65 or over against 18.7% across England, with only 52.7% of working age, and Cromer is squarely in that profile.
Two consequences for the gym market. The daytime crowd is older and the timetable reflects it, and the resident base is too small and too seasonal to support a budget chain. The nearest 24 hour gym is at North Walsham or Fakenham.

The pool question
Cromer has a sports centre but no pool of its own. Cromer Academy Gym and Sports Centre is run by Everyone Active for North Norfolk District Council, and the district's pool is The Reef at Sheringham, three miles west, with a 25 metre six lane pool and a 70 station gym.
Everyone Active publishes its Reef tiers at £21.99, £31.99, £39.99 and £49.98 a month. If you live in Cromer and want to swim, the question to ask is which tier covers both the Cromer site and The Reef, because you will be using both.
Norfolk
Free
Sheringham parkrun is the nearest of Norfolk's 23 free adult 5k events, with North Walsham, Blickling and Holkham the other North Norfolk ones. In a town where the walk along the front is already the default exercise, they are worth using.
