The gym offers a range of equipment for exercising with weights (resistance) and increasing your heart rate (cardiovascular), as well as boasting four 42” inch plasma televisions complete with Sky TV!

Induction sessions

Before using the gym you’ll need to complete two induction classes to learn about gym health and safety and to familiarise yourself with our equipment.
