Junior Gym

Junior Gym at Penrith Leisure Centre

Junior Gym at Penrith LC gives young people aged 11 to 17 a safe and supportive way to stay active. Sessions take place in the gym, with access to equipment designed for this age group. It’s a good way for young people to build confidence, stay active, and take part in structured sessions close to home while being supervised.

There are 3 steps to take before you are able to start using the gym.

1. Set up a membership.

2. Book an induction.

3. Attend an induction with a qualified instructor.

Once all steps have been taken, they are able to book into junior gym sessions

Set up your membership

A Junior membership lets young people take part in gym sessions during dedicated times across the week. Before attending their first session, all juniors complete a gym induction with a qualified instructor.

When setting up their membership there are 2 options. The first is to set up a monthly direct debit which gains them unlimited access to the gym, pool and racket sport courts. The other is to set up a Junior Pay and Play membership. This is a one off charge of £4.20 and then they pay for each session when booking.

Click to set up your membership

Book an induction

To ensure the safety of all junior members, we provide a Junior Gym Induction led by a qualified fitness instructor who will show them how to properly use the equipment and perform exercises. This will include showing them what they can/can't use.

All juniors must book this induction prior to their first Junior Gym session.

BOOK NOW

Attend the induction

When attending the induction make sure they arrive on time, wearing appropriate gym wear and abring a drink.

Once the induction is finished the instructor will sign them off to be able to use the gym.

The gym can be accessed during Junior Gym times or any time as long as they are accompanied by a paying adult. The junior cannot book sessions out side junior gym times, they must scan at recpeption up on arrival with a paying adult.
