Gym support
We offer a free one-to-one support session for our members* to help familiarise you with the gym, to get to know your goals and build a personalised workout plan. We’ll ensure you leave the session feeling confident and ready to start your programme. The session lasts for an hour and can be booked online.
You are also welcome to book one free 15-minute programme review a month, just speak to a member of our team.
Our gyms are not always manned, but rest assured support is never far away. Our equipment is labelled with QR codes, which when scanned, provide you with a video tutorial.

Junior fitness
We believe a physically active child is much more likely to become a physically active adult. We run the following supervised sessions for children aged 11-15 years to attend:
- Monday - Friday 3.00pm - 4.00pm, 4.00pm - 5.00pm, 5.00pm - 6.00pm
- Saturday & Sunday 10.00am - 11.00am, 12.00pm - 1.00pm, 2.00pm - 3.00pm, 4.00pm - 5.00pm
All junior gym users must complete a group introduction before using the gym independently. These sessions last 45 minutes and can be booked with a member of our team when joining.
Once a junior member has completed their introduction and received programme advice they can attend outside the above supervised sessions with a parent/guardian or appropriate adult (18+) on a ratio of a maximum four juniors per adult.
Junior introduction times: Monday, Wednesday, Friday 5.00pm - 5.45pm & Saturday 11.00am - 11.45am
Exercise referral scheme
Exercise Referral is a formalised method of enabling those with certain medical conditions, and health risks, to access exercise in a safe and effective manner. Having been referred by a registered health professional you have the reassurance of knowing that physical activity is considered to be appropriate for you.
Senior activities
We offer free swimming sessions for our senior members and visitors at Loddon Valley Leisure Centre.
Session times:
- Wednesdays: 9.30am - 10.30am
- Fridays: 2.00pm - 3.00pm
