Choices Health Club

Troutbeck Bridge, Windermere, LA23 1HP

The only private health club in Windermere, Choices Health Club is a fairly recent addition to Cumbria’s health and fitness facilities, having opened in 2015. This modern gym with spa is located on the site of the former Troutbeck Swimming pool, which was abandoned in 2012. It was acquired by family run firm Choices Health Club, who invested half a million pounds into the project, and who already ran three other health clubs across the country. Three years after the pool was abandoned, it was reopened, this time as part of a health club with a large gym and spa. It is a very popular facility, offering both memberships and day passes.

The health club is located north of Windermere town centre, just off the A591, and is a short distance from the lake. Its location is convenient for those based in Ambleside and Windermere. The club is open to both members and visitors. Day passes are available for visitors starting at £6.50. The club has an agreement with many hotels in the area to provide free or reduced cost access to hotel residents, so if you are staying in Windermere it is worth checking with your hotel if this applies.
