Claire Oatridge, BH Live’s regional head of operations, said: ‘The appetite across the city to get more active and ultimately live a healthier lifestyle is strong and we have been very encouraged by the overwhelming response of local residents during this first month.’

Cllr Linda Symes, Portsmouth City Council’s member for leisure, said: ‘It’s fantastic news that so many have already taken advantage of these offers.’
