Junior Gym and Fitness Classes

WHAT IS JUNIOR GYM?

  • Weekends: 10.00am - 3.00pm

Gym Induction

Before attending their first junior gym session, all juniors must book and attend a junior gym induction. These inductions are conducted by our Fitness Instructors who hold a level 2 qualification, and are conducted in small groups of up to five people. The inductions last 30 minutes and cover all health and safety information pertaining to the gym. Our Instructors will also explain gym etiquette, demonstrate the equipment that juniors are permitted to use during the sessions, and instruct on how to use it safely.

Adult & Child Gym Sessions

Would you like to the opporutunity to train with your child at the gym for free?

Our Adult and Junior Gym sessions allow our pre-paid adults to bring a child to the gym for free. The booking must be made by an adult who books the Adult and Junior gym session with their membership. Juniors must be supervised by the adults at all times. Adult and junior gym sessions are available weekends 9am-2pm. The adult must actually supervise the junior at all points, and must take responsibility for the child. Only children between 9-17 are permitted into these sessions. The session is limited to one child per adult. If the adult isn’t supervising the child or the child misuses or misbehaves the both parties may be asked to leave

Virtual Junior Fitness Classes

Virtual Junior fitness classes take place across the week at New Addington. They take place in the studio and are already pre-programmed so all you need to do is turn up!

The Virtual programme covers a range of fun exercise disciplines including but not limited to:

Cardio

These classes typically involve a combination of rhythmic movements and bodyweight exercises, such as jumping jacks, lunges, and burpees, to elevate heart rate and challenge the cardiovascular system.

Strength & Conditioning

Strength and conditioning fitness classes are designed to improve overall physical fitness and performance by combining exercises that focus on building strength, endurance, and flexibility. 

 

Dance Fitness

Dance fitness classes allow you to get fit and feel great. These fun, energising group sessions to the music are guaranteed to make you sweat and put a smile on your face whilst burning calories.
