Wellbeing Week at Colombo Centre: New Gym Equipment, Free Sessions, £9.99 monthly membership and Community Spirit
The Colombo Centre is celebrating a major boost with £100,000 funding from The Clothworkers’ Foundation, Active Southwark Olympic Legacy Fund, Coin Street Community Builders, and a private donor. This funding has allowed the Centre to upgrade its gym with new equipment, enhancing its mission to support local health and wellbeing.
To mark the occasion, Colombo is hosting Wellbeing Week from 20–26 January 2025. Local residents and workers are invited to enjoy free passes, taster sessions, and special discounts—a perfect start to a healthier new year.
Located in the heart of Southwark, the not-for-profit Colombo Centre is more than just a gym. It offers affordable memberships, free memberships for those on low incomes, and a range of facilities including a gym, studios, therapy rooms, and outdoor courts. Income generated goes directly back into maintaining the Centre and funding community activities.
Get the rest of January for free, and February for just £9.99, when you sign up on Wellbeing Week. No contract or joining fees, ever.*
*monthly price reverts to regular price from March 2025 onwards.

Stuart Flude, Colombo Centre Manager, said:
“Good health and wellbeing should be a right, not a privilege. Colombo is a no-frills, community gym with a big heart. Thanks to this funding, we’ve upgraded our equipment to better serve our members. If your goal is to get fitter in the new year, Wellbeing Week is the perfect opportunity to see what we’re about.”
David Hopkins, Director of Community, added:
“Colombo Centre is more than just a gym—it’s a lifeline for the community. Coin Street’s youth and community team run free and low-fee sports and wellbeing activities for older adults, young people, and those with additional needs. By becoming a member, you’re directly supporting these vital initiatives.”
