Harrow is home to around 261,200 people (Census 2021), up 9.3% since 2011, with a median age of 38. In Sport England's Active Lives survey for November 2024 to 2025, 64.4% of adults here did 150 minutes or more of activity a week, up from 54.8% a year earlier, a rise Sport England marks as significant.

Everyone Active runs the council's leisure sites. Harrow Leisure Centre on Christchurch Avenue has a 33 m pool, three gyms with 180 stations between them, a ladies-only gym, a 9 m climbing wall and squash courts, and Hatch End Swimming Pool has a 22 m pool. In Stanmore, the spinal injury charity Aspire runs Aspire Leisure Centre, a fully inclusive centre with a gym, an accessible pool and a sports hall. Better has a gym in Pinner, and there's CrossFit, boxing, judo and gymnastics across the borough.

Harrow's suburbs are spread along the Metropolitan, Jubilee, Bakerloo and Piccadilly lines, so the people who train like you may be a stop or two away. Gymist is how you find them.
