Gym Workout

Whether you are an experienced gym user or a complete beginner, prior to using the gym you must complete an induction with one of our highly qualified fitness instructors. Depending on your experience, this can take 15mins or for a full induction, 1hour. This also gives you the opportunity to get advice about other activities the centre offers which could help you achieve your fitness goals.

Customers with pre-paid memberships have the option to book re-focus sessions every six weeks, helping you to stay on track at achieving your fitness goals. Did you know that keeping your workout more varied and challenging will actually keep you much fitter?

Gym Induction

Our fitness instructors are always on hand and happy to help you with any queries to help you gain the most out of your membership.

Inductions involve an introduction to the gyms facilities with an explanation of how to use the equipment.

You can decided between a 30-minute basic induction, where our instructors will give you a brief introduction to the gym, the equipment and health & safety advice, or a 1-hour Total Induction, where they will discuss your goals, write you a programme and give an overall health MOT.
