Community gym and swim pools in Havant and Waterlooville opening hours for Christmas and New Year 2025

At Horizon Leisure, they are proud to say they are more than just a gym.

“We’re a charitable trust dedicated to improving the wellbeing of everyone in our community. And as we enter the festive season, we’d like to wish all our members, and future customers, a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!” said Mike Lyons, CEO, Horizon Leisure.

Christmas is a wonderful time of the year, but the staff at Horizon Leisure understand that it can be difficult for many. Coming to the gym, to a class or perhaps going for a swim might be just the Christmas tonic you need. Its centres in Havant and Waterlooville are a safe space for you to work out, chill out and hang out, and the fantastic welcoming team will be there for you, as the doors will remain open for much of the holiday season.

Your health is for life

Prioritising your health isn’t just for new year fresh starts – it’s for all of life’s moments, from tiny tots learning to swim to slower paced walking football and memory-friendly sessions.

“Horizon Leisure is filled with people just like you. Whoever you are, you are the right fit. Our team of experts will work with you and for you to help you become healthier and happier throughout every stage of life,” explained Mike.
