With upgraded gyms, new equipment, and improved spaces, residents now have the ideal settings to achieve fitness goals in 2025.
The Castle Leisure Centre, Southwark Park Sports and Athletics Centre, Camberwell Leisure Centre, Surrey Docks Fitness and Watersports Centre, Peckham Pulse and Dulwich Leisure Centre have all been transformed.
As part of the improvements, gyms now feature:
- State-of-the-art equipment with virtual workout capabilities.
- Dedicated workout zones for cardio, weights, and functional fitness.
- More functional fitness space for lifting, stretching, and conditioning.
The BOX 12 fitness experience has also launched, offering an electrifying, full-body workout combining boxing and functional fitness in 12 action-packed, three-minute rounds. This cutting-edge feature not only sets Southwark Leisure gyms apart but is also captivating fitness enthusiasts of all ages with more members showing an interest in boxing training.
Our inspirational BOX 12 studio is at Camberwell, in-centre circuit at Dulwich plus BOX 12 PODs in the gym at Peckham and The Castle Leisure Centre.
Southwark Council is also preparing for the opening of the Canada Water Leisure Centre in Spring 2025. The state-of-the-art facility will feature Southwark’s largest swimming pool, modern exercise studios, and cutting-edge sports courts. This new leisure centre will replace the much-loved Seven Islands Leisure Centre, building on its legacy to offer even more opportunities for health, fitness, and community connection.
Councillor Portia Mwangangye, Cabinet Member for Leisure, Parks and Young People, said: “These upgraded leisure centres offer our residents the ultimate facilities to stay active and healthy as we kick off the New Year! With revamped gyms and exciting, innovative features like Box 12, we’re making sure everyone—from first-timers to fitness pros—can find something they love.
“Looking ahead, the opening of the Canada Water Leisure Centre in 2025 will be a game-changer for Southwark. Boasting the borough’s largest swimming pool, cutting-edge fitness facilities, and inclusive spaces for all abilities and interests, it’s set to become a landmark destination. This investment highlights our passion and commitment to ensuring health and wellbeing are within everyone’s reach in Southwark.”
