Induction

Before you use our gym, you will need to have an induction with one of our fitness instructors.

During the induction you will discuss your goals, learn how to use the equipment safely and effectively, and get a personalised exercise programme.

At Riverside you will receive a Technogym key with your programme on, which allows you to use the equipment in the gym. You will also have access to the My Wellness App, where you can follow your progress. You will also be able to track your exercise outside of the gym, link other fitness trackers and create your own programmes.

Our instructors are on hand every time you come to use the gym, to answer any questions, or update your programme.
