Training in Hammersmith and Fulham

Young, very active and well served by the Tube.

Hammersmith and Fulham is one of the most active boroughs in London. In the Sport England Active Lives survey for November 2024 to 2025, 76.0% of adults did at least 150 minutes of activity a week, second only to Wandsworth among London's 33 local authorities. It's young as well: the median age is 34, against 40 for England, and 23.4% of residents are aged 25 to 34.

Better runs three council centres on the borough's behalf: Phoenix Fitness Centre and Janet Adegoke Swimming Pool in White City, with a 25 m pool, women-only gym and sports hall, Hammersmith Fitness and Squash Centre with three squash courts, and Lillie Road Fitness Centre in Fulham. Linford Christie Stadium on Wormwood Scrubs is the council's athletics venue. Around them are big chain gyms in Hammersmith and Fulham Broadway, CrossFit and jiu-jitsu, and a long run of yoga and Pilates studios in Parsons Green.

With this many people training, the hard part is rarely finding a gym. It's finding someone who trains when you do. Gymist is how you find them.
