Accessibility in the gym
Accessibility is important to us at The Bridge Leisure Centre. As such we offer a range of equipment for wheelchair users, or people with limited mobility that has adjustable settings and can be used safely with appropriate support.
Group workout classes
We host a range of classes, across all intensities so whatever you’re in the mood for, come along and dance, lift, run & relax with us.
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.

Junior fitness
We believe a physically active child is much more likely to become a physically active adult. We run supervised sessions for children aged 11-15 years to attend.
An induction will need to be completed at each centre to be used
Cycle Revolution
All group cycling classes are not created equal, so why just turn up and hope that the class fits your style, whether that's a full-on power-driven sweat-fest, a good session to great music, or a social family ride?
We've arranged our group cycling classes so you can find the one that suits you.
