Adult & Junior Gym (9-17yrs)

Families can take advantage of our Adult and Junior gym sessions, which provide an excellent way to exercise and spend quality time together.

To promote physical activity among younger participants, the responsible adult can actively supervise the junior throughout the duration of their session rather than being instructor lead.

Supervision: Please note that the adult/parent must actively supervise the child at all times and takes responsibility for the child's conduct and safe use of machines. Only children between 9-17yrs are permitted in the session, and it is limited to one child per one supervising adult. If an adult is not supervising the child or the child misuses the gym equipment or misbehaves, both parties may be asked to leave.
