Exciting Changes to Strength & Conditioning Equipment Coming to Horizon Havant and Horizon Waterlooville

We are delighted to announce that Horizon Havant and Horizon Waterlooville will soon be enhanced with upgraded strength and conditioning equipment! This investment is part of our ongoing commitment to offering our members the best possible fitness experience.  

However, there will be some expected disruption and temporary schedule changes at both centres throughout December to facilitate these improvements. We want to ensure that our customers have complete visibility into this, and we appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to deliver stronger, better-equipped gyms for you. 

What’s On the Way? 

 At Horizon Havant, we install a full range of brand-new, state-of-the-art strength equipment. This includes cutting-edge resistance machines, high-performance strength equipment, and a refreshed functional training zone to elevate your workout experience. 

At Horizon Waterlooville, we are adding more equipment from Havant’s current setup to enhance the gym offering. This means more variety and additional equipment provision, ensuring you have more options to help you achieve your fitness goals. 

Our Waterlooville customers may be eager for more extensive changes and excitedly wait for refurbishment updates. We want to reassure you that the comprehensive refurbishment plans are being actively developed. A dedicated update on this will be shared in December, so stay tuned!  

Temporary Changes to Gym Access 

To allow for the installation of the new equipment, there will be some temporary closures at Waterlooville and limited access to equipment at Havant. Here’s the detailed schedule:

  Both Havant and Waterlooville Centres will operate with adjusted hours on this day, opening from 07:30 to 17:30 with full equipment access. This early close is part of our annual Horizon Christmas Party tradition, allowing our team members to come together and celebrate the festive season.

  The gym is open as usual from 07:30 to 21:30 on weekends and 06:00 to 22:30 on weekdays, and all equipment is available. 

We’ve scheduled these changes to minimise disruption. Waterlooville offers early morning and evening access, and Havant has alternative equipment. 

Why These Changes Are Necessary 

The temporary closures at Waterlooville and limited equipment availability at Havant are essential to ensure the smooth installation of our new equipment. These updates will modernise the gyms, giving you access to state-of-the-art facilities supporting your fitness goals. 

We have carefully scheduled these adjustments to minimise disruption, ensuring early morning and evening access wherever possible. 

Thank You for Your Patience 

 We have intentionally chosen December, one of the quietest times of the year, to complete these upgrades and transfers to minimise disruption to your routine. We sincerely appreciate your understanding as we work to make Horizon the best possible place for your fitness journey. If you have any questions, our team is always happy to help!
