Residents across Harrow get a boost to their fitness activities and lifestyle with a £1.4m investment
Residents across Harrow are set to get a boost to their fitness activities and lifestyle with a £1.4m investment in local leisure centres after Everyone Active secured a new 10-year contract.
Everyone Active will continue to manage three key sites - Hatch End Swimming Pool, Harrow Leisure Centre and Bannister Outdoor Sports Centre.
The investment will include brand-new equipment, modern design upgrades to existing studios and improvements to the ladies-only gym. Plans also include the creation of a new, larger group exercise studio and an upgraded spin studio, increasing capacity for studio-based classes and group cycling sessions.
Work is scheduled to begin on 1 March 2026 and expected to be completed by summer 2026, with improvements phased to minimise disruption for customers.
Cllr Janet Mote, Cabinet Member for Community and Culture said:
“We know how important leisure and fitness are for our residents and we’re delighted to continue working with Everyone Active. Thousands of people enjoy using Harrow Leisure Centre, Hatch End Swimming Pool and Banisters Sports Centre and will welcome this news of further investment.
This will ensure our facilities continue to put residents first and meet the health and wellbeing needs of our residents and users. The upcoming improvements will make getting active easier and more accessible for everyone, so more people can enjoy fitness, wellbeing across our centres.”
John Sewell, Contract Manager at Everyone Active, said:
“We are delighted to have secured this new 10-year contract, which provides long-term continuity for customers and allows us to build on the strong relationships already in place across Harrow’s leisure facilities.
“Residents will continue to see the same familiar faces delivering services they know and trust, alongside some exciting improvements that will enhance the existing offer.
“This £1.4 million investment will help keep facilities modern and fit for the future, while increasing capacity and enabling more people to take part in physical activity.”
Residents will continue to benefit from the membership programme which includes complimentary memberships for cared-for children and care-experienced young people (via Council Family Support Team referral), free access for people living with Parkinson's and their carers, plus discounted rates for NHS staff, emergency service workers, full-time carers, and Universal Credit recipients.
