A newly expanded women-only gym has opened at Harrow Leisure Centre as part of a £1.4 million investment in the borough's leisure facilities. The upgraded gym is now 50 percent larger, according to operator Everyone Active, and is designed to better meet the growing demand from female members.
Enhanced Equipment and Facilities
The revamped space includes a wider range of equipment, such as an enhanced free weights and resistance area, cable machines, pin-loaded equipment, dumbbells, and squat racks. Cardio equipment like treadmills, bikes, cross trainers, and a stair climber are also available. New additions include a power mill, glute bridge, and abductor and adductor machines. A larger stretch and recovery area has been introduced, giving members more room to focus on post-workout recovery.
In the coming weeks, a recovery station will be installed, offering access to massage guns and muscle stimulation equipment.
Community-Focused Design
Tiffany Johnson, general manager at Harrow Leisure Centre, said: "We’re really pleased to open our newly upgraded ladies-only gym, which has been designed with our community very much in mind. We know that having a dedicated, comfortable space can make a real difference in helping women feel more confident and supported when getting active. This upgrade allows us to offer more choice, more space and a better overall experience for our members. It’s an important step in making our facilities more accessible and ensuring we continue to meet the needs of local residents."
Further Upgrades Underway
Work on the centre’s main gym is also progressing, with the fully refurbished space scheduled to reopen on May 21, featuring new and upgraded equipment. Additional improvements, including two new larger group fitness studios and a group cycle studio, are expected to be completed by summer 2026. Everyone Active stated that the work is being carried out in phases to minimise disruption.
