Inside The Sports Hub Fowey
Get Fit, Feel Fabulous
Rachel Roberts, 22 January 2026
This week, I had the warm pleasure of sitting down with Grace Williams, General Manager at The Sports Hub in Fowey—a brilliant, community-hearted gym at Fowey River Academy, where everyone from first-timers to regulars feels instantly at home.
Imagine slipping into a workout that fits your life like a favourite wellie - practical, supportive, and utterly Cornish. That's The Sports Hub in Fowey, a community powerhouse since 2002, where locals of all ages ditch the January blues for real, feel-good movement. Shared with Fowey River Academy and freshly equipped, it's the no-fuss spot to build strength, ease aches, and make new friends.
Whether you're a busy mum squeezing in cardio or a grandparent eyeing the squash court, these spaces deliver without feeling overwhelming. The Engine Room offers cardio machines for heart health and resistance equipment; Performance Zone for purposeful lifts; Runway for fun functional kit like battle ropes and tyres. Rally on four badminton courts, two squash ones, or the full hall for netball. The airy studio calls is the perfect spot to dance, while table tennis brings family giggles. And … there’s free parking onsite.
Classes That Nourish Body and Soul
And if you need the motivation and support from a class there are plenty to choose from - Mondays' 6pm HIIT revs all levels with bursts and recovery; Circuits on Wednesdays/Fridays mix cardio and weights for stamina. Functional Fitness (Tuesdays 9:15am, Saturdays 10am) hones daily moves. Thursdays' Strength and Cardio balances it all. You can pay as you go – and for just £25/month unlimited access via Glofox app means you can come to as many classes as you like!
Smart, Flexible Ways Memberships
One of the best things about The Sports Hub is that there are no tie-ins and no unfriendly contracts - memberships from £25/month (gym), £25 classes-only, or £35 for both classes and gym with the freedom to cancel anytime. And if you’re a member of the Blue Light scheme, a teacher, or a member of the RNLI there are reduced rates (£20 gym, £30 Gym+ …and the discount applies to partners too). There are also youth memberships (£20, 12-15s with adult). Court hires: badminton or squash £7 full hall £37/hour, studio £20/hour, table tennis £6 – and for members there’s 50% discount on those – making a badminton court just £3.50 for an hour’s hire. Trainers Grace Williams, James, and Jacob offer personalised support from mobility to core blasts. "Fitness here is about feeling comfortable and supported - small steps and consistency are key," says manager Grace Williams.
