INDUCTIONS

Before using the gym you can complete an induction, so our fitness instructors can provide demonstrations on our equipment and answer any questions you may have. Our fitness instructors can also create a tailored work out programme for you to follow which could help you to achieve your fitness goals.

REFOCUS SESSIONS

Our refocus sessions are developed specially to refresh your workout programme every six weeks so you get the most out of your time in the gym.

Refocus sessions are available to you at any time, where your fitness instructors will change your programme to suit your development.

JUNIOR GYM

At Arcadia Libray & Leisure Centre we offer a Junior Health and Fitness membership designed for 11-17 year olds. Through these sessions we help our junior members to understand the importance of correct form, how to train safely and effectively, but most importantly, to have FUN! 

As an All Inclusive Junior member, your child will benefit from the following:

  • Access to the swimming pools and junior gym sessions at all Manchester Leisure Centres
  • Use of squash, badminton and table tennis courts within your child’s home area (where available, one court per person per day)
  • A free, personalised fitness induction and a tour of the gym equipment to help them get started
  • Inclusive access to an expert fitness instructor, who’ll create them a personalised exercise programme with six-week refocus sessions to keep them on the right track

You can view our available junior gym sessions by visiting the link below.

Juniors must complete an induction with us before using the equipment for the first time and signed parental consent is required.
