The Best Gyms in Wentworth

Surrey is not short of places to work out, but the best gyms near Wentworth tend to suit very different routines. The area’s reputation has been built over more than a century, from a private estate set around Virginia Water to roughly seven square kilometres of woodland and landscaped roads, with origins tied to master builder W G Tarrant, who secured the development rights in 1922 after creating St George’s Hill in Weybridge. Wentworth Club is also home to the BMW PGA Championship on its West Course, giving the area a clear sporting backdrop.

For anyone living locally or staying nearby, there is a wide choice without needing to travel far. Around Virginia Water, Ascot, Chertsey and Staines, the options run from private members’ club polish to reformer Pilates, swimming pools, strength floors and practical local gyms that do the job without fuss. It also reflects a wider shift in how fitness is now viewed, with 56% of people exercising for overall health and 37% doing so for longevity, rather than simply for appearance or performance.

In this guide, we look at five of the best gyms near Wentworth, from private members’ facilities and Pilates studios to health clubs and local training spaces.

Wentworth Club

Wentworth Club is the most exclusive fitness address in the area, though it is not a conventional public gym. Set within its 700-hectare estate in Virginia Water, the club is better known for golf, but its Tennis and Health Club gives members a fitness set-up beyond the fairways, built around a more holistic approach to health, wellness and nutrition.

The gym includes eGym equipment, which adjusts to each member’s personal requirements, while the studio timetable ranges from high-energy classes to calmer wellness sessions for the whole family. Swimming is another major part of the offer, with a 25-metre indoor pool, the original 1920s outdoor pool and an 8-metre children’s pool. There is also a Health Club Café, with menus shaped around flavour and nutrition, plus access to guest nutritionists for more personalised guidance.

A workout at Wentworth can be followed by a swim, tennis, time in the spa or lunch on the estate, while the club’s crèche gives parents the option to train or unwind while younger members are looked after. The result is closer to a private country club than a standalone fitness centre, with fitness sitting naturally within the rest of the day.

 

The River Bourne Club, Chertsey

The River Bourne Club in Chertsey is a more accessible all-rounder and one of the stronger choices for anyone looking for a proper health club. Its facilities include a large gym with cardiovascular equipment, weights machines, free weights and functional kit, including kettlebells, stability balls and a boxing bag.

The club also has a heated 25m x 12.5m swimming pool, aqua fitness classes, a sauna, café and a wide programme of studio classes across its three exercise studios. The timetable is broad, covering everything from spin, HIIT, Pilates and yoga to aqua aerobics, RB Strength, circuit training, Women on Weights and lower-impact classes for older members or those returning to fitness. There is also a Milon circuit, nutrition management, children’s activities, dance and martial arts.

 

Atletik Pilates

Atletik Pilates is the more specialist choice on this list, a Pilates studio based around the Wentworth Estate, with a focus on rehabilitation, performance and one-to-one sessions tailored to the body, movement and individual goals.

This is not the place for a crowded weights floor or a quick treadmill session. Its value lies in controlled, coached movement, with a sharper focus on alignment, strength and injury prevention. For golfers in particular, the appeal is clear: rotation, balance, glute strength and spinal control all matter if the body is expected to hold up across a full round.

 

Fitness Space Ascot

Fitness Space Ascot is a good option for anyone who wants a modern independent gym without the scale or ceremony of a private club. Based at Unit 1A, The Hermitage on Ascot High Street, it describes itself as an independent gym with state-of-the-art facilities, a wide range of classes and personal trainers who work across physical health, mental strength and overall wellbeing. Membership options are clearly set out, from gym-only access to packages that include unlimited classes and monthly personal training.

The approach is more coached than anonymous, with each membership including a coach session in the first month to help new members get started properly. Its class offering includes yoga and indoor cycling, while personal training memberships provide a more structured route for those who want accountability rather than just access to equipment. There are also bespoke online programmes, nutritional guidance, metabolic and functional testing and monthly workshops covering form, technique, alongside menopause and pre- and postnatal training.

 

Lifestyle Fitness, Staines

Founded in 1982, Lifestyle Fitness has built its name around accessible, inclusive gyms with modern facilities and expert support, which suits this Staines site well. The gym includes top-spec cardio equipment such as treadmills, rowing machines and cross trainers, alongside free weights, functional training space, studio areas, unlimited classes and personal training support. The Staines club is based at Matthew Arnold Sports Centre, which adds access to wider sports facilities alongside standard gym access.

Facilities also extend beyond the gym floor, with a sauna, cycle studio, outdoor training area, 3G pitch and bookable sports courts for badminton, basketball, football, netball, tennis and volleyball.

The best gyms in Wentworth say something about where fitness is heading. The old idea of the gym as a room of machines now feels dated. Instead, what people increasingly want is a place that supports the whole routine: strength, recovery, mobility, nutrition and, in some cases, a bit of quiet time in between. Together, they each show how fitness has become less about one fixed idea of exercise and more about finding a sustainable and enjoyable way to keep fit and healthy.
