Encourage your child to develop healthy exercise habits early by enrolling them in a Junior Gym membership at Kendal Leisure Centre, tailored for children aged 11 to 17. Sessions are offered after school, on weekends, and during school holidays. A staff member is always present on the gym floor during these sessions to ensure a safe and enjoyable workout experience for all junior members.
Junior Gym Induction
To ensure the safety of all our junior members, we require a Junior Gym Induction led by a certified fitness instructor. During this session, they will be taught how to properly use the equipment and perform exercises. All juniors must complete this induction before attending their first Junior Gym session.
The instructor will guide you on which equipment can be used and how to safely train on the machines during the induction. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
Please attend in suitable gym clothing and trainers, as you’ll be using the equipment. Bring a water bottle to stay hydrated. Bags are not allowed in the gym, so please store your belongings in a locker (available in the changing room and corridor).
