We are proud to have the doors back open at the six leisure centres across the borough and under the new management of Lampton Leisure, the company that now operates the leisure services for Hounslow Council. With restrictions starting to lift, the reopening of Leisure centres means that residents in Hounslow can once again access fitness facilities, including going to the gym and for a swim, as well as the return of our Swim School programme. Other activities and facilities will be phased in when it is safe and viable to do so and in line with the Government roadmap.

The centres are operating in line with Government safety guidelines and those planning to visit are required to book and pay online, to ensure contact is minimised at each centre and allowing for the track and trace process to be implemented.

These measures, combined with increased cleaning routines, are designed to keep customers safe and offer complete confidence to use the facilities when they return to their local centre.

To thank all members for their patience while we have been closed, we are giving them therest of April & May free. If you are not a member yet, head to the memberships page on Lampton Leisure’s website and sign up today and pay nothing till June.

Rowland Omamor, Managing Director of Lampton Leisure said:

“It feels wonderful to finally be able to reopen the leisure centres to the residents of Hounslow. We know the communities local to our facilities can’t wait to make a change totheir fitness routines and our teams across the borough have enjoyed welcoming them back.We’ve worked hard over the past months to ensure our centres continue to offer the very best facilities and that our customers can return with confidence and safety.”

Niall Bolger and the Corporate Leadership Team visited and supported the opening ofBrentford Fountain Leisure Centre on Monday. Niall Bolger, Chief Executive of Hounslow Council said:

“Residents in Hounslow have sorely missed having use of their gyms & leisure facilities and it is great to see them finally open up again. Exercise is a key part of maintaining physical and mental wellness, both of which have been more important than ever, and I am glad to see the Borough’s communities have even more accessible ways of keeping themselves and their loved ones safe and healthy.”

Hounslow Council and Lampton Leisure expressed their commitment to reviewing salaries as part of the transfer from Fusion Lifestyle to Lampton Leisure, particularly for those that fall below the London Living Wage. All staff have now had their pay reviewed and adjusted going forward.

Rowland Omamor, Managing Director said ‘Hounslow Council is already a London Living Wage employer. It began paying the London Living Wage in 2011 and became an accredited employer in 2012. As a company that operates the leisure services for Hounslow Council, we at Lampton Leisure will continue to honour our commitment to pay the increased rate to all staff, as we believe it is important for staff to earn a fair wage for the work that they do.’
