Training in Gosport

A peninsula town with one big public centre and a long seafront.

Gosport had around 82,000 people at the 2021 Census, 0.8% fewer than in 2011, with a median age of 43. It sits on a peninsula on the western side of Portsmouth Harbour, with the Solent along its southern shore. In Sport England's Active Lives survey for Nov 2024–25, 56.3% of adults did at least 150 minutes of activity a week, well below the South East's 67.4%, so there's room for more people to find a routine.

Places Leisure runs Gosport Leisure Centre on Forest Way with the borough council: two pools including a 25 m pool, a gym, studios, a cycling studio, a sports hall, 3G pitches and a sauna and steam room. Planet Ice Gosport is home to the Solent Devils ice hockey team, and Lee-on-the-Solent Tennis, Squash and Fitness Club has courts and a gym by the sea. Around them are independent and 24-hour gyms, Muay Thai, Brazilian jiu-jitsu and boxing.

Whether you've just moved here or have trained in Gosport for years, it's easier to keep going with the right company. Gymist is how you find them.
