Located on the first floor, the Strength Gym is designed for more advanced training. It features squat racks, a Smith machine, multipower squat rack, incline and decline bench presses, and dumbbells up to 50kg. You’ll also find a chest press, cable towers, dual cable stack, lat pulldown and bicep curl stations, plus a punch bag.
