Norfolk
A small town on a fast line
Diss has 9,599 residents and sits about 21 miles south of Norwich on the Great Eastern Main Line, with a direct service to London Liverpool Street. That gives it a commuter and second home profile, and a rush hour at both ends of the day rather than the middle.
For a town this size the provision is genuinely good. Most Norfolk towns of under 10,000 get one council site and a couple of independents. Diss gets a PureGym, a 24 hour independent with more than a hundred reviews, a refurbished council pool and a strong studio cluster running out to Burston.

Norfolk
The council centre, and the price you can actually read
Diss Swim Centre is run in house by South Norfolk Council, which reopened it in January 2025 after a £4.2m refurbishment. The council says plainly that it keeps its five centres in house to put community benefit ahead of profit, and unlike most Norfolk operators it publishes every price.
- £36 a month by direct debit across all five centres, plus a £15 joining fee.
- Concession £28.20, Active Seniors 65 and over £30.40, student £24.40.
- Pay as you go: gym or class £8.25 to £9.35, swim £6.60 to £7.60.
The other four are Wymondham, Kett's Park, Long Stratton and Framingham Earl. If you commute along the A140 that is a useful membership.

Diss has no parkrun of its own. Harleston Magpies is the South Norfolk event among the county's 23, and Norwich's four are up the A140.
