Fitness Class FAQs

Are fitness classes included with my Better membership?

Most Better membership types include fitness classes at your home gym or centre. However, for other class and membership types, or guest bookings, you might need to pay some extra charges.

Check at your local centre or on the Better UK app for more information.

Can I attend any fitness class in Manchester?

Depending on your membership type - and class availability - you can attend any fitness class across all Manchester gyms and leisure facilities.

If you’re not a member, you can still join a class, but you’ll need to create an online account first before making a booking. For instructions on how to book a class as a non-member, see our Help Centre.

Are there fitness classes for beginners?

Yes! All of our classes are suitable for every level. While you might see some classes listed in the timetable as beginner-friendly sessions, all our instructors will make sure that everyone feels comfortable during the class and adapt any exercises if needed.

If you’re unsure about what class is right for you, talk to a member of staff at your local facility.

Do you offer women-only fitness classes?

Yes we do. We offer women's-only gym classes in Manchester at a number of our sites like Belle Vue, Whalley Range, Abraham Moss and Moss Side.

To find out about women-only classes at your local facility, check with a member of staff or on your Better UK app.
