Classes at Places Leisure Eastleigh
We operate a range of fitness classes at our centre. Take a look at some of the types of activities we've got for you:
Studio classes

Group Cycling

RT24
Relentless 24 is a functional training programme that focuses on HIIT and HIRT.
HIIT
High intensity interval training
Each class is designed to be no longer than 24 minutes of work. This allows us to work at High Intensity in short interval periods. The timing and structure of each class will vary but each class is based under the HIIT principles.
HIRT
High intensity resistance training
RT24 uses 'high volume, low loading' within RT24 to get the muscles to fatigue. It is when in the fatigue state that the muscles will grow. Each class is designed to target every major muscle group so you are getting a full body workout.
Take a look at our class timetable to find the one for you. Prices are available to view on our timetable.

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.
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.
