Junior fitness
We believe a physically active child is much more likely to become a physically active adult. We run the following supervised sessions for children aged 11-15 years to attend:
- Monday - Friday 3:15pm - 4.00pm, 4.00pm - 4.45pm and 4.45pm - 5.30pm
- Saturday and Sunday 9.00am - 9.45am, 4.00pm - 4.45pm, 4.45pm - 5.30pm
All junior gym users must complete a group introduction before using the gym independently. These sessions last 30 minutes and can be booked with a member of our team when joining. An induction will need to be completed at each centre to be used.
- Monday - Thursday 4.30pm - 5.00pm and 5.00pm - 5.30pm
- Friday 5.00pm - 5.30pm
- Saturday and Sunday 10.30am - 11.00am and 3.00pm - 3.30pm
Once a junior member has completed their introduction and received programme advice they can attend outside the above supervised sessions with a parent/guardian or appropriate adult (18+) on a ratio of a maximum four juniors per adult.

Exercise Referral
Exercise Referral is a formalised method of enabling those with certain medical conditions, and health risks, to access exercise in a safe and effective manner. Having been referred by a registered health professional you have the reassurance of knowing that physical activity is considered to be appropriate for you.
