The fitness suite has the latest Life Fitness and Cybex equipment. In addition to a wide range of cardiovascular equipment there is an extensive selection of fixed weight machines and free weights to use. Once you join you will receive a free induction to ensure you understand all the health and safety rules for using the gym and are comfortable using the equipment.

  

The highly qualified sport and active team are always on hand to provide expert advice and training information.

To help you on the way to your fitness goals the Sport & Active Leisure Team can provide a wide range of fitness tests. These range from a quick Health MOT or Body Fat test to a full fitness test. Once you have had your tests, staff will be able to suggest and set sensible targets for you to aim towards. Of course, you can always retake the tests a few weeks later to see how your training is progressing!

Why not get a personal fitness programme designed to help you achieve you fitness goals. After an initial consultation, a member of staff will design a programme tailored to your specific requirements. They will then arrange a session with you in the gym to go through the programme ensuring you understand all the exercises and are happy with the programme.  

In addition to the fitness suite, the Sport and Active Leisure Team also runs a wide range of exercise classes. These are held in the Nancy Astor Sports Centre and include classes such as aerobics, body conditioning, Pilates, yoga and spinning. Spaces on these classes can be reserved by contacting the reception desk in the sports centre. Details of the current exercise class timetable can be found below:
