REFURBISHED GYM NOW OPEN!

The new gym provides over 125 workout stations, this includes a new functional astroturf training area with a range of equipment such as TRX bands, core bags and battle ropes. There is also state of the art industry equipment such as Technogym's SkillMill and SkillBike as well as two Concept Ski Ergs, allowing our members to further train as elite athletes.

There is also a wide range of new traditional equipment for both cardiovascular and weights equipment such as treadmills, bikes, cross trainers and a large range of fixed resistance machines as well as free weights ranging from 2kg to 40kg. Finally, we have dedicated stretching areas and fitness aids such as Swiss balls.

For a fitness programme tailored to your needs, just ask one of our fitness instructors and they'll be happy to put together a workout to suit you. Before using the gym you'll need to complete an induction, so our fitness instructors can go through the equipment with you and answer any questions you may have to ensure we help you achieve your fitness goals.

Re-focus sessions are also available to you at any time, where our fitness instructors will mix up your fitness programme. Did you know that keeping your workout more varied and challenging will actually keep you much fitter?
