We believe that encouraging juniors to start their health and fitness habits early is very important. That's why, to support them during their journey, Hatfield Leisure Centre offer a range of activities to choose from suitable for all abilities.
What's more, the Junior Membership gives even more access across Welwyn Hatfield with a fantastic programme of activities not only at Hatfield Leisure Centre but Hatfield Swim Centre too.

Give your child the support they need to reach their fitness goals. Whether they're new to exercise or already active in sports, our qualified Fitness Instructors are always on-hand during Junior Gym sessions to supervise, motivate and answer any questions. Once set up with a membership and having downloaded the Better UK app, all juniors must book and attend a Junior Gym Induction before their first session, to familiarise them with the equipment and how to work out safely and effectively.
Juniors can mix up their weekly workout and take part in Junior Fitness Classes. These classes are an additional way to get fit in a fun and social environment and take place during the dedicated Junior Gym sessions.
These fun, action-packed sessions will put our younger members and their friends through their paces, for an all-over workout.

Mandatory inductions – To keep everyone safe, members and non-members can attend our junior gym sessions without an adult. Before, they must take part in one of our induction sessions so they can learn how to use the facilities. Juniors will not be allowed to access the gym without having taken an induction.
Equipment restrictions – So everyone can work out within their limits, we have some age restrictions on our gym equipment. Junior members between 11 and 15 years can use cardiovascular and fixed resistance machines such as treadmills, chest press machines etc. but only 16 and 17 year olds can use the free weights (only specified weights). Juniors may remove weights up to 10kg from the free weights area but cannot remain in the area.
Adult and junior sessions - Alongside our regular classes and sessions for under 18s, we also run adult and junior gym sessions where you can work out with a child. Like our other gym workouts, these slots give you and a child the chance to boost your fitness in the gym and use a range of equipment. While adults take full responsibility for any children aged 11-17 our instructors are always on hand to help.
