What about my Classes?A revised, temporary, class timetable will be in place from 9th May - September during the refurbishment of the Sports Hall. Many of our current sessions will remain, and we have added some new, challenging outdoor sessions too! Copies of the temporary class timetable are available from Reception and the Health & Fitness Desk.

New Membership PackagesWe have frozen prices on all current membership categories. Exciting, new, affordable membership packages will be announced in Autumn 2016. Don’t worry though, we will still be offering great value packages. More information to follow soon!

Your GymThe new gym and fitness offer at the centre will be second to none.

A large 100 station space with top of the range equipment; the latest integrated touch screen technology and fitness tracking software. The Projectile Hall will be used as a temporary gym whilst the refrubishment of the main gym space is completed.

The Projectile Hall will then be transformed into a dedicated, state of the art, functional training space.Available for individual and small group sessions.

A brand new outdoor fitness and training facility will be installed. Free to members, there will be a range of challenging fitness classes for you to try.

Exclusive Members’ Suite

We wanted to create a space that was just for you. With member only access, the Members’ Suite will provide an exclusive changing area and access to the brand new, ground floor steam suite. We have taken the tough decision not to re-install a sauna unit, however we hope this new and exclusive area will bring the ‘wow factor’ and make you feel like the VIPs we think you are!
