Gym Sessions – Fuel For Your Dreams
A gym session with us means access to friendly, expert advice from the getactive team and the ability to train with state-of-the-art equipment in a social, highly motivating space.
When you start to use the gym, a qualified instructor will take you through an induction session to help you find the right starting point and design a workout programme, tailored to meet your objectives – stronger, leaner, fitter – whatever you want to be! Our team will ensure you progress at a comfortable pace, provide regular programme updates, offer advice and encouragement and be there to celebrate your successes. Read on for a snapshot of some of the ways you can journey to fitness with us!
