We would love to show you around our facilities and be given the opportunity to answer any questions you may have so please pop in and see us - no need to make an appointment.
Inductions
All users are asked to complete an induction session before using the gym. They provide a great opportunity for you to meet the fitness team, learn important health and safety information, and ensure that you have the requisite knowledge about how to use our equipment.
You may attend group exercise classes prior to your induction.
For confident and experienced gym users a 20-30 minute express induction is available.
Those who feel they would benefit from more thorough demonstrations and explanations can book a full hour-long induction.
