Women Time

This is a woman-only gym-based fitness session. The sessions are aimed at beginners, and will cover all aspect of resistance training, held at a quieter time in the gym. Our friendly instructor can help you progress at your own pace.

Women who are peri or menopausal will benefit from these sessions with the instructor having extra training in this subject area and the benefits of exercise.

These sessions have been made possible as part of a successful grant funding application made by the Community Sport and Wellbeing team through Find Your Active small grants.

Although we will hold these sessions at a quieter time, other customers will still be able to use the gym while these classes are running.
