Discover our Gyms
At Burnley Leisure & Culture, we offer inclusive, modern gym spaces designed to help everyone feel confident and supported. Whether you’re starting out or pushing your fitness further, you’ll find everything you need – from state-of-the-art equipment and group fitness classes to personal training, functional training zones, and high-quality facilities.
Bringing the Burnley Community Together
Our two Burnley gyms are more than places to exercise, they are community hubs where people of all ages and abilities support one another. Whatever your goals, you will find a welcoming environment that encourages both physical and mental wellbeing.
Your membership also gives you access to other centres within the Active Network.
St Peter’s Centre, refurbished in 2024, is one of our two Burnley gyms, providing accessible leisure, fitness and wellbeing facilities for all ages and abilities.
Our facilities feature state-of-the-art equipment and versatile training spaces to suit every fitness goal. Enjoy our hybrid training area with resistance machines and free weights, a dedicated boxing zone with multiple bags, and two fully equipped fitness studios, one for indoor cycling and the other for a wide range of classes. Members also benefit from free use of the Boditrax body analysis machine, a body composition analysis tool that provides detailed metrics about your health.
Padiham Leisure Centre, fully refurbished in 2024, offers accessible leisure, fitness and wellbeing facilities for all ages and abilities.

With more than 50 classes each week, including Les Mills and HIIT Company sessions, there is something for everyone.
