Fitness Suite Information

Our Fitness Suite is equipped with a wide range of the very latest cardiovascular and resistance training equipment. The Fitness Suite is air conditioned and you can be guaranteed an enjoyable workout in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere.

Whether you want to exercise for fun or for a demanding workout, the Fitness Suite will help you to achieve your goals.

Before you can use the Fitness Suite you must undertake an induction, even if you have used another fitness facility in the past. Booking and payments of inductions must be made in advance.

We want you to get the most out of your fitness training and return to use the facility time after time. We try to ensure your induction is as comprehensive as possible. Not only do we show you how to use the equipment, we also give you a fitness assessment, your own basic training programme and friendly help and advice from our highly qualified instructors.

Once you have completed your induction you will be issued with your membership card. You can then use the Fitness Suite as many times as you like within the advertised opening hours. Please bring your card to reception every time you attend, as the receptionist will check your membership status to ensure you have been inducted before you are admitted. Failure to show your membership card may result in your admittance being delayed.

Monitor Your Progress

Why not book an appointment with one of our instructors to monitor your progress? You can either have a fitness assessment, fitness test or a combination of both to compare your previous results. To assist you with further improvements, our instructor will write your personalised fitness programme to suit your own needs to help you achieve your own goals. Alternatively, if you need that little extra ‘push’ or you wish to be stretched to your limits, why not try a Personal Training session?
