For kids that want to get into the gym, we run sessions where they can use the cardiovascular equipment, under the supervision of one of our specially trained instructors.

Our Under 16s gym sessions will prepare teens for full-time use of the gym from 16 years old.

Those aged 10 to 13 will follow a set programme.

Those aged 14 and 15 will follow their own bespoke programme set by our gym staff at their induction.
