Training in Slough

A young, fast-growing town with room to get more active.

Slough is home to around 158,500 people (Census 2021), up 13.0% since 2011, with a median age of 34. In Sport England's Active Lives survey for Nov 2024–25, 53.5% of adults here did at least 150 minutes of activity a week, against 64.6% for England, and 34.7% did less than 30 minutes. So there's plenty of room to start, and plenty of people starting.

Everyone Active runs the town's public sites. The Centre on Farnham Road has an eight-lane 25 m pool, a 115-station gym and a separate women's only gym; Langley Leisure Centre has a 25 m four-lane pool and a gym of more than 100 stations; and Slough Ice Arena on Montem Lane pairs its rink with a gym and a climbing wall. Around them are the Absolutely Fitness gym at Langley College, mixed martial arts at Blackbeard Academy in the town centre, and five-a-side at Powerleague.

Whether you're new to Slough or have trained here for years, it's easier to keep going with the right company. Gymist is how you find them.
