Junior Gym

What is Junior Gym?

At Llanishen Leisure Centre, you can start attending our dedicated  Junior gym sessions from the age of 11 right through to 17. These sessions introduce them to working out in the gym and help them start their journey towards a healthy and active lifestyle. All sessions are supervised, with either a fitness instructor or centre assistant present to ensure everyone is staying safe whilst they get their sweat on. You can attend these sessions on a ‘pay as you go’ basis with just a booking account, or sign up for a membership which also includes access to our Junior Fitness Classes (but don’t worry, if you aren’t a member these can also be booked and paid for separately). Keeping everyone fit, active and healthy is important to us, to but even more important is keeping everyone safe which is why junior s are required to attend a Junior Gym Induction before their first session.  

Junior Gym days and times:

Monday – Friday 3.00pm – 6.00pm

Saturday 10am – 1pm

Sunday 11am -1pm

Times vary during school holidays with extra sessions added during the day so make sure you check our holiday programme.

Junior Induction

Prior to venturing into our Junior Gym sessions our junior members must complete a mandatory gym induction to guarantee the safety of all our junior members. We offer a Junior Gym Induction conducted by a certified fitness instructor who will instruct them on the appropriate use of the equipment, exercises and gym etiquette. Junior Inductions have a maximum capacity of up to 4 juniors.
