Our fitness suite
Top of the range fitness equipment includes everything from treadmills, steppers and cross-trainers to rower's resistance machines and free weights.
We’ve got a separate free weights area and a functional training zone with kit including medicine balls, BOSU and sandbags.
An area for stretching is available for the end of a workout.
A large proportion of our kit - nearly 50% - is also Inclusive Fitness Initiative (IFI) accredited, so is suitable for people with a range of physical abilities.

Junior Gym sessions: Age 10 to 13 years
Junior gym is for children aged 8 to 13 years old.
