Adult and Junior Gym

Calling all gym members with children! Would you like to bring along your child to train with you in the gym? Our 'Adult and Junior Gym' sessions allow any pre-paid junior to bring and adult with them to the gym. The reservation must be made by the junior who books the 'Adult and Junior Gym' session with their membership. Juniors must be supervised and accompanied by an adult at all times. Adults must also have a pre paid membership or have paid for gym usage. All Juniors will need to complete a gym induction before using the gym.

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 11-17yrs 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.

Days and times available:

  • Friday: 1900-2100
  • Sundays 1400-1600
