Activities may vary depending on the holiday period, so please check the timetable for the latest sessions.
Our Junior Gym sessions give young people aged 11–17 the chance to stay active during the holidays in a safe, supervised gym environment with support from our Fitness Instructors. These sessions help juniors build confidence, improve fitness, and learn how to use gym equipment correctly.

Our Junior Fitness Classes, held in the functional training zone during Junior Gym sessions, offer a fun and social way for younger members to stay active.
Led by our Fitness Instructors, these action-packed workouts use functional equipment and bodyweight exercises to deliver a full-body workout.
Our Adult & Junior Gym sessions allow young people aged 11–17 to train alongside an adult in the gym. This is a great way for families to stay active together while learning how to use the gym safely.
These sessions are available all day, every day, and every pre-paid adult member can bring one junior member to train with them for free.
Our intensive swimming lessons are a great way for children to progress quickly in a short period of time. Lessons run across multiple days during the school holidays and follow the Swim England Learn to Swim framework.
These courses are ideal for children who want to improve their technique, gain confidence in the water or progress to the next stage.
No matter your swimming ability or fitness level, our Swim for All sessions at Clissold Leisure Centre are a great way to enjoy time in the water. These sessions are perfect for building confidence, practising your swimming, or spending time in the pool with family and friends.
Children and young people aged under 16 who live in Hackney can swim for free (applicable to Swim for All sessions only).
Swimming is a great way for young people to build confidence in the water, develop important life skills, stay active, and have fun with friends. Free sessions provide a great opportunity for children to enjoy the pool regularly while improving their fitness and wellbeing.
