Westminster City Council added 45 new group exercise slots this month across its leisure centres, bringing the weekly total to 210 sessions in July 2026.

Residents in central London neighbourhoods continue to seek structured activity options that fit around work and family schedules, especially as outdoor temperatures climb and indoor venues offer reliable cooling and equipment. Council facilities provide consistent timetables without the higher fees charged by private gyms, drawing participants from Pimlico to Maida Vale.

Venues and class options

The Queen Mother Sports Centre on Vauxhall Bridge Road runs morning spin classes at 7:15 a.m. on weekdays and evening yoga sessions at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Further north, the Porchester Centre on Queensway hosts aqua aerobics three times a week in its 25-metre pool and circuit training in the main hall every Saturday at 10 a.m. Both sites accept drop-in bookings and offer family-friendly slots on weekends.

Westminster City Council reported 14,800 attendances at group classes in the first quarter of 2026, up 12 per cent from the same period in 2025. Standard drop-in rates sit at £7.50 for adults and £4 for concessions, while a monthly pass covering unlimited council classes costs £32.

Next steps for participants

Anyone can view the full timetable and reserve a place through the Westminster ActiveWestminster app or at the reception desk of either centre. New users receive a free taster class upon presenting proof of Westminster residency, such as a council tax bill or utility statement. Spaces fill quickly for peak evening slots, so booking 48 hours ahead is advised.
