Why take part in fitness classes?
Possibly the best thing about group exercise is the fact it is led by a professional. Unlike going solo in the gym or at home, attending a class is the next best thing to having a personal trainer, making it a really affordable way to spend time with someone who can help you achieve your fitness and better body goals.
Not only that, it’s a lot of fun, with an added social element to keep you motivated to return week after week and remain active for longer.

Yes, we have classes running until 8:00pm on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays. Check out our timetable for a full list of all the classes we offer.
100% yes! Fitness classes can help you get fit and active, learn new skills, have fun and improve your health. They’re also a great social activity where you can get together with like-minded people and workout in a friendly, motivational environment.
This depends on your fitness goals, availability and motivation. As a general rule, we would suggest aiming for at least two classes a week. You can also mix and match different classes to work on different aspects of your fitness, so one day you could try a HIIT class to work on cardio and build muscle strength and another day go for something more holistic, such as Yoga or Pilates. The most important thing is to find fitness classes that work for you and that you enjoy.
If you have your own equipment such as a yoga mat or kettlebells, we recommend you bring these along to classes. We also suggest that you bring along your own water bottle and towel.
Yes, we have a café on site selling Costa coffee and a range of drinks and snacks – perfect for winding down after an exercise class!
