Is 2025 your year to get fit and feel great? While beach life and water sports are a great way to boost your fitness levels, when the days are short and the weather inclement, heading to a gym is a surefire way to increase your cardio and carve those winter curves into muscle.
Short of having a home gym in your holiday cottage, use your time off to hit these gyms and fitness centres near Padstow, where you can work out while staying in North Cornwall.
Tucked away in the countryside near St Issey, just 10 minutes from Padstow, this is our pick of the (six) pack. For starters, the Office Gym Club is stacked with state-of-the-art equipment in a spacious venue that’s easy to get to from North Cornwall’s Seven Bays area. Secondly, its range of passes make it a cinch for holidaymakers to use. With a short-break four-day pass, a two-week temporary pass and a no-ties one-month pass available, it couldn’t be easier to incorporate gym time into your coastal break in Cornwall.
Not far from our base in Padstow, this community-focussed gym, swimming pool and sports centre welcomes visitors to make the most of its fitness facilities. Whether you’re into free weights or want a finely-tuned fitness plan, the Wadebridge Sports and Leisure Centre has instructors on hand to help focus your goals. Or, you can slip in at your leisure for non-member sessions in the gym and pool, strength and conditioning classes, or a game of squash or badminton. So, there’s no excuse to skip out on your fitness goals while on holiday in Cornwall.
The gym and health club at The Point has everything you need, from Bosu balls to Olympic bars, and a whole range of resistance machines that will hone every muscle in your body. Plus, there’s a daily programme of spinning, circuits and sculpting classes, personal trainers on hand if you want to set some goals and stay focused, plus an indoor swimming pool with a sauna, steam room and jacuzzi. What really makes The Point worth a 30-minute drive from Padstow isn’t just its proximity to Polzeath Beach but the flexibility of day passes, week passes and flexi-passes, making this a great option to fit in with your holiday plans in Cornwall.
Only 30 minutes from Padstow, this 24-hour gym in Bodmin offers a seven-day holiday membership so you can keep up with your fitness goals while away. Mike Munds Fitness Studio is a well-equipped strength training gym with resistance machines, free weights, cardio equipment and classes. Outside, there’s a wellness garden complete with a sauna, ice bath and cold bucket shower.
Boasting a multi-leisure club with a gym, fitness classes, swimming pools and soft play, Atlantic Reach is the perfect place for the whole family to hit their fitness goals on holiday. Free day trials and no contract or joining fee ensure it fits seamlessly with your stay in Cornwall, and you can opt for an all-in monthly membership with gym, swim, classes and courts, as well as virtual fitness classes you can do from the comfort of your holiday home. Located just off the A39, twenty minutes from Padstow, it’s also in an ideal spot to swing by and power up on route to and from Padstow, when you’re off on day trips around the rest of Cornwall.
This brand-new health and fitness complex at SeaSpace, close to Newquay’s beaches, is an idyllic spot to combine coastal activities, indoor fitness and foodie delights. Pump, tone and train in the gym, stretch, spin and energise with a full schedule of fitness classes, and do laps of the 80’s Miami-beach style swimming pool. Then fuel up with Cornish coffee, superfoods and sea views in the cool café and restaurant. Monthly memberships are the best option (including 10% off dining in the café), but you can dip in and pay per class if you’re only here for a short holiday.
