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.

Junior fitness
We believe a physically active child is much more likely to become a physically active adult. We run supervised sessions for children aged 11-15 years to attend.

Cycle Revolution
All group cycling classes are not created equal, so why just turn up and hope that the class fits your style, whether that's a full-on power-driven sweat-fest, a good session to great music, or a social family ride?
We've arranged our group cycling classes so you can find the one that suits you.
