We are redecorating the pool and installing new boilers at SWFLC, meaning the pool is closed and showers are currently unavailable. Work started on Monday 4 November and is planned to finish by Saturday 21 December 2024. You can read more about the SWFLC improvement works and what it means for you. We apologise for any inconvenience.
Core classes
Core group exercise classes at South Woodham Ferrers Leisure Centre (SWFLC) will tone and strengthen your abs, back and bum, improving your posture and helping with back pain.
Our instructors will guide beginners and challenge experienced class-goers.
The minimum age for classes is 14 year old, but classes marked with a * are for over 16s only.
If you want to view our timetable more than seven days in advance, you can download the Chelmsford City Sports app.
Dynamic yoga
Dynamic Yoga is a lively group exercise class which helps improve core strength, balance and mental wellbeing.
During the class you will flow from one yoga movement into the next to transform your body and mind.
We will provide mats for the class, but please feel free to bring your own if you have one.
This class runs for 60 minutes and is a medium intensity session.
Pilates
Pilates will give you a healthy body and a healthy mind. It is a body conditioning class that will sculpt your muscles, improve your posture and flexibility and reduce stress levels.
If you are looking to tone up, in a low impact, relaxing environment, this is the class for you.
We will provide all equipment used in the class for you, but if you would like to bring your own mat feel free.
This class runs for 60 minutes and is a medium intensity class.
PiYo
Take the muscle-sculpting benefits of Pilates and combine it with the strength and flexibility of Yoga.
If you are looking for a fat-burning workout that is also low impact, then PiYo is the one for you.
No matter your age, no matter your body type PiYo will help give you dramatically visible results.
This class runs for 60 minutes and is a medium intensity session.
