Adult & Junior Gym (11-17yrs)

Alongside our Family classes and Junior gym hours, we also run Adult and Junior gym sessions where you can work out with your child. Like our other gym workout sessions, these give you and your child the chance to boost your fitness in the gym and use a range of equipment.

Juniors must book a space via the app and book an induction on their first visit. Adults attending alongside must also book a gym space on the app or attend as a pre-paid member. 

Supervision: Please note that the adult/parent must actively supervise the child at all times and takes responsibility for the child's conduct and safe use of machines. Only children between 11-17yrs are permitted in the session, and it is limited to one child per one supervising adult. If an adult is not supervising the child or the child misuses the gym equipment or misbehaves, both parties may be asked to leave.
