London gyms with a pool

A pool is the fastest way to narrow down a London gym — almost no budget chain has one, so the list is short and specific. These are the 34 London clubs we've confirmed have a swimming pool, named individually, with the ones that also have a sauna marked.

Virgin Active

21 with a pool Premium health club

The broadest pool coverage in London by a distance — most sites are full health clubs with a pool, sauna and spa rather than gyms with a pool bolted on. The free-weights areas are good rather than hardcore; you're paying for the amenities as much as the iron. Best pick if you want to swim and steam as often as you lift.

Third Space

13 with a pool Luxury

The one to beat if you want a serious lifting gym wrapped in a spa. Every confirmed site has both a pool and a sauna, the kit is immaculate, and unlike most premium clubs the free-weight floors are genuinely excellent. Priced accordingly, and day passes are rare and expensive.

What this list does and doesn't cover

These are the London pools we've confirmed at the major private clubs. It is not every pool in London — council-run leisure centres have the majority of the city's lane swimming and cost a fraction of a private membership, and a handful of other premium clubs have pools we haven't confirmed branch by branch yet. We only list a pool once we've confirmed it for that specific site rather than assuming it from the brand.

Compiled from the operators' published information and last checked on 3 August 2026. Facilities close for refurbishment and membership tiers change — check with the club before you join on the strength of a pool.

Common questions

Do budget gyms in London have pools?

Essentially none. PureGym, The Gym Group and Anytime Fitness are weights-and-cardio only. In London a pool means either a premium health club like Virgin Active or Third Space, or a council-run leisure centre.

What does a London gym with a pool cost?

Expect £70 a month and up, and well beyond that in central London. Pools are expensive to run, so they only appear at the premium end. Council leisure centres are far cheaper if you mainly want lane swimming.

Are these gyms any good for serious lifting?

Third Space is the standout — genuinely strong free-weights floors alongside the spa facilities. Virgin Active's weights areas are good rather than hardcore; you're paying for the amenities as much as the iron.
