Junior Gym

Across leisure centres in Newham we believe in helping all ages stay fit and healthy and that is why we offer Junior Gym sessions for children aged 11-17 years. Anyone who plans to attend one of these sessions are required to book a Junior Gym induction after signing up to the Junior membership and prior to attending their first session.

Adult and Junior Gym Sessions

Keep your family active by working out together in our adult and junior gym sessions. Juniors must be supervised at all times by the adult accompanying them (the supervising adult is required to be a paying member to attend). Juniors are required to book into this session and must have completed an induction.
