 Thinking of how you might get fitter and healthier in 2022? Brand new facilities, to get more people enjoying the health and wellbeing benefits of being active, are on track to open at Southsea’s Pyramids Centre on Tuesday 4 January 2022.
The size of the centre’s gym has significantly increased. It has state-of-the-art Technogym fitness equipment, functional fitness, strength and cardio zones. A dedicated spacious area for health assessments, and those new to exercise, is a brand-new feature and particularly important getting more people active.
In addition to the gym, there are new changing rooms and three activity studios for Group Cycling classes, HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) and private hire. Activities can be personalised and tracked using app technology such as myzone and mywellness.
The gym and Group Cycle classes are included in BH Live Active’s multisite membership and on a pay as you go basis. As part of the BH Live Active membership, customers can also access facilities including swimming, gym and classes at Mountbatten and Charter Community Sports Centre.

 We're looking for your views to help us improve various cycling and walking routes in the south of the city.
Our proposals include:
- improving the cycle route along Goldsmith Avenue
- developing a better walking route from Fratton to the city centre
- making the cycle route along Winston Churchill Avenue better.
If more people walked and cycled instead of using their vehicles, there would be less traffic congestion, which would help create cleaner air. Walking and cycling helps to develop healthier lifestyles, lifting mood and improving fitness.
If you run a sports club in the city and want to appeal for new members or share some positive sporting news please get in touch and we will try and include it in a future bulletin. Photos also welcomed if you have permission to use).
