Whether you’re taking the first steps on your fitness journey or you’re looking to stay in shape, you’ll find everything you need at Hendon’s Better gym.
We know that everybody’s different – and we all have our own goals, which is why we offer loads of different types of training and support. At our gym facilities you can get fit and raise your heart rate with cardio and functional area upstairs, or build your strength and stamina in strength training area downstairs.
GETTING STARTED
If you’re going to be using the fitness centre, a 1-2-1 induction with one of our trained Fitness Instructors is required, who will help tailor a bespoke gym experience based on your specific needs, as well as introducing you to the different types of machines and equipment. (An opt out option is available - subject to conditions).
Our staff are keen to share their wealth of knowledge and expertise to help put you at ease when discussing your goals and planning your regular exercise routine.
Our facilities are staffed, so you are never far from help and support if you need it. Just ask a member of the Health & Fitness Team on the fitness centre floor, or a member of staff anywhere in the building. We are always happy to help.
RE-FOCUS
Joining a gym is a huge step for most of us. To help ensure you stick to your routine and meet your goals, we are here to help keep you on track with a re-focus session.
Every six weeks we will offer you the opportunity to re-evaluate your progress with a Fitness Instructor and mix up your programme to keep challenging your body and stop your routine becomming stale.
The session is a good opportunity to assess what's going well, what could be improved, plus your workout preferences will all be taken into account to reinvigorate your fitness experience.
So whatever your goals, Hendon Leisure Centre and its knowledgeable staff are there to support you.
