658 Fitness

658 Fitness is a proper gym in Southport, the sort of place where locals actually go rather than somewhere trying too hard to be Instagram-friendly. It's a no-frills sports venue with the essentials - weights, cardio kit, and classes - spread across the space. Nothing fancy, but it does the job.

The weekday schedule runs 08:00 to 21:00, which gives you flexibility if you're staying at the nearby Southport Caravan and Motorhome Club Campsite and want to keep your routine going. Weekend hours are shorter (09:00-14:00 on Saturday and Sunday), so plan accordingly if that's when you'd rather train. Friday finishes at 20:30.

It's geared toward people who just want to crack on with their workout - regulars lifting weights, folks on the treadmills, the usual fitness crowd. If you're mid-holiday and getting twitchy about missing the gym, this beats trying to maintain fitness in a caravan. Parents might drop a teenager here whilst they explore Southport proper, though the little ones won't find much to do.

Admission details aren't listed online, so ring ahead or pop in when you arrive at the campsite. Day passes are common at gyms like this, though membership rates vary. Allow an hour to ninety minutes for a decent session, not counting travel time from the caravan park - it's only 2.7 miles away, manageable by car or a brisk walk depending on your tolerance.
