Atherton Leisure Centre
Atherton Leisure Centre on Romford Road serves East London with a spacious gym that covers cardio and weights alongside two swimming pools for every skill level. The 25-metre pool offers lane swimming and aqua classes, while the teaching pool focuses on swimming lessons for all ages. Our functional training zone gives you space to work on strength and conditioning, and studios offer yoga, Pilates, HIIT and group cycle sessions throughout the week. Families visit for soft play and our popular fun swim sessions, and there are birthday party packages available too. We also run women-only swimming and partner with local schools and community groups to keep Newham active.
