Your Workout Is Getting An Upgrade

We're excited to announce that together with the Royal Borough of Greenwich, we're investing over £200,000 into additional fitness equipment, helping you to stay motivated as you work towards a healthier you.
The new equipment will start arriving from week commencing 22 June and we'll be making improvements to the layout in preparation for its arrival throughout the month. To do this we will occasionally need to close small sections of the gym off for short periods, but we'll do our best to keep any disruption to a minimum.
