Adult and Junior Gym

Adult & Junior Gym sessions are a great way for you to stay active together during the holidays. Adult members can bring one junior aged 11–17 years, giving you both the chance to enjoy a fun, shared workout. The junior just needs to complete their induction first and book into the session. If they’re aged 11–15 years, the adult will need to actively supervise them throughout. It’s a brilliant way to stay fit, build confidence, and enjoy some quality time.
