Our spacious and airy Fitness Studio was renovated in December 2021. We have added brand new state of the art equipment which now matches the trend of some of the best gyms in the country. Seven racks with accompanying benches, suspension trainers, plates and bars, means members looking to develop themselves through resistance and strength training will have everything they need to progress.

In addition to treadmills, cross-trainers and bikes in most standard gyms we have added curved treadmills, assault bikes, ski ergs and a Wattbike to assist those members wanting to improve their cardiovascular fitness.

The final piece of the puzzle we wished to add to our fitness experience, was to develop an external space into a functional training area. This area has pull up bars, suspension trainers, push sleds and battle ropes to use, as well as lots of free space for any dumbbell and kettlebell exercises.

Floor to ceiling windows along the terrace allow members using the cardio equipment to enjoy a view of the rugby pitch to the front of the centre.

The cardio equipment consoles have touch screen technology to visually enhance your workout, including features such as a street view running programme and links to mainstream fitness apps Fitbit and MyFitnessPal to help you record your activity every step of the way.

The Fitness Studio is available to members from 14 years upwards and with equipment to allow all ages and abilities to undertake comprehensive workouts in a safe manner. (Please note that use of resistance equipment is only permitted for members aged 16 years and older).

Following an induction, our trained and professional staff will be delighted to put together a fitness program for you to help you achieve your fitness goals, whatever they may be. Your program can be reviewed with a fitness instructor on a regular basis to keep your workouts fun, varied and effective.

Personal Training is also offered by our fully trained fitness team.  Please visit our Personal Training or contact reception for further details.
