Gym membership for juniors in Manchester
With a Better Junior Gym membership, young people aged 11–17 can work out in the gym and attend fitness classes during dedicated time slots throughout the week.
All juniors must first complete a gym induction run by one of our qualified instructors, where they'll learn how to use the equipment safely and confidently. Some equipment restrictions apply for under-18s, but our staff will explain everything and make sure everyone's comfortable using the equipment.
While our monthly Junior Gym Membership is most popular, we also offer Junior Pay as You Go and Flex membership packages, giving families more choice when it comes to managing fitness routines. We also offer Junior Inclusive memberships for those with access needs.
Included with a junior gym membership
Women and Girls Sessions
At selected Manchester centres, we offer female only Junior and Adult and Junior gym sessions, giving women and girls an inclusive space to work out. These sessions are held in private spaces, separate from the main gym floor to give a private place to exercise and feel comfortable in.
View the timetable for your local gym to see when these sessions run.
Adult and Junior Gym
Our Adult and Junior gym sessions are a great way for families to stay active together. Junior members can access these sessions for free (with a paid adult member), giving you a chance to exercise with your young person.
Adults must supervise children during the session, but our instructors are always on hand to provide any guidance and support.
Gym Inductions
So everyone can use the gym safely, all junior members are required to complete a Junior Gym Induction. Led by a qualified fitness instructor, this induction covers how to use gym equipment correctly and how to train effectively.
This must be booked prior to attending a first junior gym session.
