More variety

Ask your instructor about cross training. Think about including swimming, skating, racket sports or running in your programme to elevate your progress.

Class waiting lists

To give everyone a fair chance to book the classes you love, waiting lists are back.

If the class is full, just book a space on the waiting list. When a space becomes available, we will email all the members on the list. You will be offered a space on a first come first served basis.

Class booking

During this period, we are limiting members to attending two classes per day. This will give all members the opportunity to attend the classes they want to.

Show up

We ask you to only book classes that you will attend. Please don't book two classes that start at or near the same time, then decide at a later time which class you will attend.

It's important that everyone plays their part and thinks of the bigger picture. 

Plan out

Plan your next visit at our quieter times to get the most from your workouts and avoid queuing.

The quietest days are Wednesday, Thursday and the weekends, and the quietest times are between 2pm and 3pm, and evenings.

This may help you plan your visits better to get the most from your workouts.

Check it out

We have multiple centres, so if you have a multi-site membership, why not take the opportunity to visit our other gyms or attend classes at other centres?

We have amazing facilities at our leisure centres, so make the most of your membership to help you navigate the busy period.

Quiet please!

Let’s be considerate. Recently we have asked members to keep phone use within our gyms to a minimum. If you have a phone call to make or take that’s important, please be considerate to your fellow members and take the call outside of the gym.

We are excited to help you reach your wellness goals in 2025!
