Refurbished gym coming December 2024!
The gym at Abbey Leisure Centre is set for a major overhaul. Everyone Active, in partnership with the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham, is investing £500k to revamp the layout, install state-of-the-art fitness equipment, and redecorate throughout. This significant investment aims to enhance the facilities available to local residents.
To facilitate these upgrades, the gym will be temporarily closed from Thursday, 5th December and will reopen at 10:00 AM on Saturday, 21st December.
If you’re a member, during this time, other areas of the leisure centre will remain open as usual, and we encourage you to take advantage of these facilities. The women’s only gym will remain open as usual. Your membership will also allow access to our neighbour sites Becontree Heath Leisure Centre (Dagenham), London Aquatics Centre (Stratford) and our Everyone Active Havering sites whilst these improvements take place. Use our centre finder to find your nearest Everyone Active centre.
