Rivermead Leisure Centre, Reading
Rivermead Leisure Centre on Richfield Avenue brings comprehensive fitness and swimming to Reading, about 15 minutes on foot from Reading Station. The gym has cardio machines and free weights for complete workouts, while two pools cover all bases - a 25-metre pool for lane swimming, a diving pool and teaching pool with a fully moveable floor. The splash pad is perfect for younger visitors. There's also a sports hall, outdoor 3G pitch and soft play area. Classes include group cycle, yoga, Pilates, HIIT, boxfit and dance fitness, with aqua sessions in the pool. The dedicated cycle studio attracts a strong following locally. We run junior fitness programmes, activities for children, and over-50s sessions. There's also a cafe for refreshments after your swim or workout.
