Hills Gym Is Coming to Wimborne: What to Know About the New Fitness Space

A new independent gym is set to open in Wimborne in January 2027. Hills Gym plans to bring a 7,000 sq ft training space to the town, with equipment for strength, cardio and functional fitness. The family-owned business says the gym is being designed for people taking their first steps into fitness as well as experienced members looking for a place to train. 

The company behind the new gym

Hills Gym opened its first location in Lymington in September 2024. On its website, the company describes its aim as combining a modern, well-equipped gym with the friendly atmosphere of a local club. Its Lymington site brings together cardio machines, free weights, strength equipment and space for functional workouts. The company also presents the gym as somewhere members can exercise, socialise and unwind.

That gives a clearer picture of the ethos Hills Gym hopes to bring to Wimborne: serious attention to the training environment, alongside a welcome for people at different stages of their fitness journey. Its stated goal is to offer members of all fitness abilities a positive experience, whether they already have an established routine or are working out where to begin.

Who might Hills Gym appeal to?

The planned mix of equipment should appeal to people who enjoy lifting weights, building strength or following their own workout programme. Cardio and functional training are also part of the Wimborne plans, making it relevant to those whose goal is simply to move more regularly. Hills Gym has explicitly said it wants to welcome both beginners and seasoned gym-goers.

The local-club feel may be just as important as the equipment for someone choosing a gym. At Lymington, Hills Gym says it wants members to feel comfortable fitting exercise into everyday life, from a quick session after work to a longer weekend workout. Whether Wimborne will offer the same facilities and membership options has yet to be announced.

When will Hills Gym Wimborne open?

Hills Gym is aiming for January 2027 and says it will share updates as the space takes shape. A limited release of early memberships was announced for September 2026. The exact opening date, Wimborne address, prices and full facilities have not yet been confirmed in the information available.

For Wimborne residents considering a fresh fitness routine in the new year, this is one opening to keep an eye on.
