- Active Club England runs regular open -air training sessions in London parks
Secret images have revealed how a Neo-Nazi group that presents itself as a fitness club prepares for a 'racing war'.
The group, called 'Active Club England', uses Extreme Fitness and Brotherhood as a way to recruit members before giving them weapon training and notorious figures such as Adolf Hitler ali.
An ITV News study has revealed how a recruitment drive in the aftermath of the summer riots of last year attracted an influx of new members.
The group has collected more than 100 people, with one branch that starts biweekly training sessions in a park in Vauxhall, South London.
Recent recruits from the club include a convicted criminal who was previously imprisoned for a knife attack in a store.
