Get the feel good factor In the gym in November
If you have never been into one of our gyms before or it's a long time since you got on a treadmill, then November's offer could be just for you. For 30 days, we'll be opening our fitness suite doors* to all newcomers once they've had an induction.
Equipment to suit everyone
Our 'Future Fitness' gyms are all fully accessible and have cardio machines including treadmills, bikes, rowing machines and cross-trainers and a full range of weights and free-weight equipment to help you tone up and feel great.
Step by step
Once you have registered, our qualified staff will take you through an induction session explaining how to work the machines. You can then use the gym facilities for FREE for the month of November.
Getting motivated
To keep you on track, there'll be qualified staff available at all times and we'll give you an information pack which includes health tips, free exercise class vouchers and other goodies.
Not very fit?
Don't worry, when you register, there are a few basic questions about your health and at your induction, our staff will develop a personal exercise programme to suit you.
Exclusive to teenagers
For 13 - 16 year olds, there's a fully supervised Young Lifestyles programme available.
Special offer
There's an added bonus too! All those who take part, or current gym members who recommend a friend, will be entered into a prize draw to win a year's free membership.
