It has a gym, pools, studios, an indoor cycling studio, a health suite and a sports hall. The council's Harrier Centre in West Ewell has a 400 m track with public drop-in sessions, and Nescot's gym and sports hall are open to the public. Around them are David Lloyd, PureGym, The Rig Gym, CrossFit, Gauntlett Boxing Club and Nova Forca's Brazilian jiu jitsu.
