Gym Floor
Cardio
Your heart is the centre of everything. With a stronger heart, you can pump oxygen-rich blood round your body faster, making it easier to both get and stay fit. Our huge range of cardio fitness training equipment is state-of-the-art. And great fun to use. We make sure you have everything you need to give your heart and lungs a great workout.
Fixed Strength
Fixed strength equipment focuses on specific muscle groups and provides an easy initiation into strength training. It’s perfect for building isolated muscle strength or size in a safe way as the machine guides your movement. And as muscle burns calories efficiently, it is a key part of your workout.
Cable Strength
Cable strength equipment is a great progression from fixed strength equipment and takes your strength training to the next level using multi-directional movement. It mimics the movement found in real situations and so works on a wider muscle group.
Free Weights
Free weight exercises enable the muscles to contract through a fuller range of motion giving an advanced muscle workout.
Ladies Only
With our Ladies Only zones you can work out in a less competitive, more relaxed and more girl-friendly environment. After all, guys may be great, but you can’t beat some quality me-time. So enjoy some breathing room and a little privacy in our Ladies Only zones.
Functional Zone
It’s all about having space to move. Whether you want to work out your core, practice your footwork or lunge all the way to the door, our functional zones give you the room you need to do your thing. It’s also where our fitness professionals hold their fun Fast Classes.
