Training in Southsea

Seafront, common and a lot of gyms.

Southsea's list is long and mixed. For weights, there's Gym 01 Fitness & Martial Arts, a 24-hour gym with lifting platforms, a boxing ring and MMA, BJJ and Muay Thai classes, plus Anytime Fitness, 24/7 Fitness and Fusion Fitness. BH Live's Wimbledon Park Sports Centre has a sports hall and a small gym. Yoga and Pilates come from Yoga by Emily, LANO Yoga, Stay Zen Yoga and Everybody Pilates, and the fight side runs from Heart of Portsmouth Boxing Academy to karate, krav maga, kickboxing and tai chi.

Outside, Southsea Common's mown grass runs along the shore from Clarence Pier to Southsea Castle, with public tennis courts and beach volleyball courts on it. Southsea parkrun is a free 5k along the seafront every Saturday morning. Southsea is also the birthplace of underwater hockey, so if you'd rather train in the water, you won't be the first.
