Our team of full-time Sports Assistants are here to provide you with the very best experience during your visit to the gym and can offer support and guidance in relation to safe and effective practice.

To get you started, new members are offered a gym induction, which takes you through the basics of how to use the various pieces of equipment in the main gym. Our level 2 gym Instructors are also happy to discuss workouts and basic exercises with you.

A fitness consultation is an information sharing session that can be used to plan your fitness goals, offer fitness advice and help plan your personal exercise routine. The session will look at key areas that will help you reach your goals, we will help you run through some questions and use this information to guide the exercise plan.

• why you are training?
• what motivates you?
• what are your short and long term goals?
• what do you like to do? (run, walk, lift weights, swim etc)
• what don’t you like doing? (stepper, rower, x-trainer etc)
• how committed are you to reach your goals?
• how much time do you have to invest?
• are your goals realistic and are they timed?

Beginning an exercise programme could not be easier with our 6-week Personal Exercise Plan that is tailored to your specific needs and goals.

After the initial consultation which establishes the client’s wants, needs and any injury/illness considerations, a training plan is devised. A gym session is then arranged where the trainer will introduce the client to their personal exercise plan.

Sport specific fitness includes a structured developmental programme that can incorporate muscular endurance, strength, power, speed, aerobic or anaerobic conditioning. It has been shown that transference of the work carried out in the Strength and Conditioning Room into sports performance is high, producing better performances and reducing the incidence of injury.

For more information please visit our Strength and Conditioning pages or contact a member of the Strength and Conditioning Team.

As well as 1 to 1 Personal training sessions we also offer tailored 1 to 1 sessions focusing solely on Pilates or Seasonal Yoga. Our Pilates and Yoga Instructor Laura can offer either in person or virtual sessions.

The sessions follow the same pricing structure as our Personal Training services. If you are interested, please contact Laura directly:

Pilates

Pilates is a movement technique to develop core strength, increase postural control and spinal stability for every day functional movement, exercise and sport.

Exercises are sequenced to incorporate major muscle groups to help or prevent muscular imbalance. A focused concentration on joint alignment and core connection can improve balance and mobility. Movements are also matched to the breath to encourage a mind-body connection.

The benefits of 1 to 1 Pilates are many. These include; individually tailored sessions with personal attention to ensure that the exercises are performed with correct form and execution, resulting in faster progression and results. It also provides an opportunity to focus directly on any specific health or injury issues.

Seasonal Yoga

Seasonal Yoga is a fusion of traditional yoga and T’ai Chi. It is based on living harmoniously with the seasons, the elements, and the cycles of nature. Influenced by the ancient systems of Classical Yoga, Traditional Chinese Medicine and Ayurveda, the concept is thoughtfully balanced to improve overall health, well-being, and vitality.

Individually tailored sessions will include; breath work to improve physical and mental wellbeing and direct the flow of energy, physical yoga postures and T’ai Chi to increase flexibility and strength together with an option to include meditation to reduce stress and encourage a feeling of calm.

1 to 1 sessions allow for a personal approach to your practice. Whether you are a beginner or already have yoga experience, the sessions provide an opportunity to explore and develop your practice. Additionally, there is scope to focus directly on an injury or a specific goal.
