You said and we listened! 

A project to transform the gym at Sir David English Sports Centre will soon be underway. 

Following your feedback, we are investing in the gym to create a modern, bright and welcoming space to enjoy your workouts. 

This includes brand-new Pulse Fitness equipment, new flooring, redecoration and feature lighting. 

Important information

We aim to carry out the work as quickly as possible to minimise any disruption.

From Monday 28 July 2025, the gym will be temporarily closed. Functional Fitness and Health Circuits classes will also be paused for three weeks.

The new gym is planned to open on Monday 18 August 2025

The rest of the centre, including group exercise classes and AirJumpX, will be open and operating as usual. However, please note that there will be no lift access to the first floor. Access will be via the stairs at the rear of the centre.

During this time, alternative gyms and exercise classes are also available at BH Live Active, Queen’s Park, Littledown, Stokewood, Pelhams and Corfe Mullen as part of our multisite membership and on a PAYG basis.

Please check the activity timetable on the BH Live Active app for all the latest information. More information about other centres is online.

We hope you will enjoy using the new gym when it reopens. If you have any questions, please come and speak with us in centre.
