Following its agreed partnership extension with Portsmouth City Council, registered charity and social enterprise BH Live is creating a brand-new Reformer Pilates studio at the Pyramids Centre in Southsea. 

This investment will expand BH Live Active’s sport and leisure facilities across the city. 

Set to open in June 2026, the new studio will have 14 Freemotion Reformer Pilates beds for on-demand sessions and instructor-led classes. 

More information about this new offering is available online.

Other proposed investments as part of the charity’s extended partnership with Portsmouth City Council include a major £750K refurbishment into health and fitness facilities at Mountbatten Leisure Centre, and changing room and gym improvements at Wimbledon Park Sports Centre. 

These investments support BH Live’s charitable mission to improve health and wellbeing by encouraging more people across Portsmouth to get active. Further details about the Mountbatten Leisure Centre gym refurbishment, along with updates on other planned improvements, will be shared with BH Live Active members and visitors later this year. 

Pyramids Centre is owned by Portsmouth City Council and operated in partnership with BH Live. 

On behalf of BH Live, Rob Cunningham, Director of Leisure and Business Development, shared; 

“We’re delighted to create this brand-new Reformer Pilates studio at the Pyramids Centre thanks to our extended partnership with Portsmouth City Council. This reflects our commitment to expanding high‑quality, inclusive fitness options across the city and meeting growing demand for specialist wellbeing-focused activities.” 

“Alongside planned improvements at Mountbatten Leisure Centre and Wimbledon Park Sports Centre, these investments support our charitable mission to encourage more people across Portsmouth to get active.” 

Overlooking the beach and Solent, Pyramids in Southsea has facilities and activities to suit every level of fitness. The centre has state-of-the-art Technogym fitness equipment in an airy spacious gym with a wide range of functional fitness, strength and cardio activities.  

Four activity studios offer dedicated group exercise classes, including Group Cycling, HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training), Yoga, and classes as part of the Les MillsTM programme, including BODYPUMP, BODYCOMBAT, and CORE. 

There is a dedicated assessment area for those who are new to exercise complete with fitness tracking technology to help set activity goals. Health and wellbeing programmes are also available to encourage residents with long-term health conditions and injury into physical activity.
