STUDIO CLASS TIMETABLE

KIDS CLASS TIMETABLE

In addition to the gym and aerobics classes, we offer a number of specialised fitness courses such as our popular Weights 4 Women and 4D Training.

Online bookings

Due to high demand, you must continue to book your swim or studio class online in advance of arriving to a class to avoid disappointment.

We still are encouraging all members to book online for gym sessions; however, this is no longer mandatory. If you haven’t booked online prior to arriving for your gym session, you will need to check in at reception before heading to the fitness suite.

What to expect

Sports hall

Our sports hall can be hired out for football, badminton and a number of other sports as a block booking or on a casual basis.
