Junior Gym

What is Junior Gym?

Junior Gym is a dedicated session for children between 11 and 17 years old to introduce them to working out in the gym and help them start their journey towards a healthy and active lifestyle. Keeping everyone fit, active and healthy is important to us, so we want to ensure we offer a variety of fun activities. Sessions are included in the monthly membership or can be booked on a pay-as-you-go basis. All juniors are to attend a Junior Gym Induction before their first session.

Monday - Friday 3:30pm-4:30pm and 4:30pm-5:30pm

Saturday & Sunday 9:30am-3pm

Junior Gym Rules

Due to high demand, booking in advance is essential to attend the sessions. Juniors are required to vacate the gym when their session finishes and are not able to stay between sessions.

Juniors will have access to the majority of gym equipment including:

  • Cardio machines (treadmills, cross-trainers, upright bikes, recumbent bikes and rowing machines)
  • Resistance machines* (chest press, smith machine, lateral row, cables pulley, leg press, lat pull down, shoulder press, leg extension and hamstring curl)
  • Functional Area* (kettle bells, steps, slam balls, plyo box, small free weights)

Juniors are not able to access the free weights area

*Juniors are required to use the lightest weight plates when using the resistance machines, as well as under 10kg dumbbells in the functional area.

Adult & Child Gym (9-15 years)

Our Adult & Junior Gym sessions offer a great opportunity for families to stay active and enjoy quality time together in the gym environment.

These sessions are for adults and juniors to train together so parents can bring up to one child with them and support/supervise during the activity.

All attendees must book a gym session beforehand and the junior must complete an inductionbefore using the equipment.

Supervision: The adult/parent must actively supervise the junior whilst taking part in the session. If the adult/parent is deemed to fail supervising the junior, both parties may be asked to leave.
