As the summer sun fades and the "Summer on the Coast" vibe starts the shift to cozy jumpers (at least early morning and evenings), it’s easy to let your fitness routine start the slippery slope to hibernatation. But at Stanmore Bay Pool and Leisure Centre, we’re turning the temperature up!

Whether you’re looking to boost your immunity, keep the kids active, or find a social escape from the rain, here is how you can make this winter your healthiest one yet.

Dive into Our Heated Sanctuary

Forget the cold outside as the water is perfect in here! Swimming is one of the best low-impact ways to stay fit, and our heated pools offer more than just a workout:

• The Lane Pool (28.5°C): Perfect for year-round lap swimming to maintain cardiovascular health.
• The Learners’ Pool (32°C): A warm, safe space for our youngest swimmers to keep developing their confidence.
• The Spa (38°–39°C) & Sauna: The ultimate winter recovery. Heat therapy is proven to improve circulation, relax stiff muscles, and provide a much-needed mental health boost during the shorter days.

Boost Your "Indoor Energy" with LES MILLS™

When the outdoor trails are too muddy, our group fitness studios are the place to be. From high-energy LES MILLS™ classes to targeted strength sessions in our fully equipped gym, we have everything you need to keep your metabolism firing.

2026 Trend Alert: This year, we’re seeing a massive focus on longevity training and core strength. Our trainers can help you adapt your routine to focus on functional fitness that keeps you feeling young and mobile, no matter the season.

Social Fitness: Play Your Way to Health

One of the hardest parts of winter is the "hibernation" feel. Beat the winter blues by joining one of our indoor social leagues:

• Social Pickleball & Badminton: These are booming right now! They are fun, fast-paced, and a great way to meet locals.
• Walking Netball & Basketball: Looking for something low-impact? These modified versions are perfect for staying active without the strain.

Schools Out (But the Fun Isn’t!)

We all know that "Family Fun" is what the Coast loves most. Don't let the rainy days lead to cabin fever. Between our indoor stadium sessions, holiday programmes, and preschool gymnastics (Gym'n'ees), we provide a safe, dry environment for kids to burn off energy while you grab a coffee at our onsite café.
