Riverside exercise classes
At Riverside Leisure Centre, we have over 150 group exercise classes on offer every week. You can try anything from relaxing Yoga classes to full on cardio.
Each class has its own benefits. You will be able to find something to suit your fitness levels, lifestyle and goals.
We have two brand new, modern studios, where you will be able to enjoy instructor led, or virtual group exercise classes.
We also have a new designated group cycling studio with Technogym bikes, a pixel wall and a lighting system that will make every class invigorating.
