JUNIOR GYM - GIRLS ONLY
According to a women in sport report, only 8% of teenage girls meet the recommended activity levels of 60 minutes of physical activity each day. We understand there are several reasons for this, and in order to make the centre more inclusive and to provide more opportunities for girls to stay active, we have introduced a new junior gym session specifically for girls in our programmable gym.
Our programmable gym is a private area for you to excercise and feel comfortable in. As part of your junior gym membership you receive an induction in how to use the equipment safely and how to get the most out of your excercise.
