There is also an extensive gym with the latest exercise equipment from Life Fitness
The Newham Council-funded £14.7m Atherton Leisure Centre opened last weekend (2 April), bringing a raft of new leisure facilities to the East London borough.
The centre, built on the site of the former Atherton Leisure Centre, houses a 25m (82ft) six-lane main pool and 20m (66ft) teaching pool. There is also an extensive gym with the latest exercise equipment from Life Fitness, two fitness studios, a group cycling studio, café, crèche and soft play area.
Construction company Mulalley built the new centre working to designs from Pozzoni in collaboration with Rick Mather Architects. The centre is one of four leisure centres – including Balaam, Newham and East Ham – and a fitness centre in Manor Park, run by activeNewham on behalf of Newham Council.
Mayoral advisor for environment and leisure, councillor Ian Corbett, said: “The new Atherton Centre shows that despite the continuing cuts to our government funding we remain committed to providing a wide range of sport and leisure opportunities for people of all ages and abilities across the borough.
It’s been five years since the fitness industry reopened after the last lockdown – long enough
to look back on the impact the pandemic had on the sector and what might come next.
Wattbike has announced a new integration with EGYM, which enables the bikes to contribute to
the Cardio BioAge score of individuals via a VO2 max result.
Les Mills has launched a reformer Pilates workout. The 45-minute workout blends traditional
reformer movements and more contemporary exercises, choreographed to music.
Panatta brought together four of the most influential figures in bodybuilding history on the
stage of RiminiWellness 2026: Phil Heath, Lee Haney, Ronnie Coleman and Hany Rambod. [more...]
