Junior Gym and Fitness Classes

What is Junior Gym?

Junior gym is a dedicated session for children between 11 and 17 years old to introduce them to working out in the gym and help them start their journey towards a healthy and active lifestyle. All sessions are supervised, with a member of the Fitness team present, to ensure they are working out safely. Membership also includes access to our Junior Fitness Classes that take place on the gym floor during the allocated sessions. Keeping everyone fit, active and healthy is important to us, so we want to ensure we offer a variety of fun activities. Sessions are included in the monthly membership or can be booked on a pay-as-you-go basis. All juniors are required to attend Junior Gym Induction before their first session. 

Junior Gym days and times:
Monday - Friday,  3:30pm - 4:30pm and 4:45pm - 5:45pm

JUNIOR GYM INDUCTIONS

All juniors are required to book and attend a junior gym induction before attending the first junior gym sessions. Junior inductions are conducted by our level 2 qualified Fitness Instructors in small groups of no more than five people and are 30 minutes long. During the inductions, our Instructors will go over all health & safety information about the gym, explain the gym etiquette, demonstrate the equipment that juniors are allowed to use during the sessions, and show how to use it safely. 

Adult & Junior Gym (11-17yrs)

Our Adult and Junior gym sessions offer a great opportunity for families to stay active and spend quality time together. These sessions are for adults and juniors to train together so parents can bring their child (maximum one child per adult) and support/supervise them during their workout. All attendees must book their session in advance and juniors must have completed an induction with a fitness instructor prior to attending their first session.

Ages: 11-17 years 

 

Supervision: Please note that the adult/parent must actively supervise the child at all times and takes responsibility for the child’s conduct and safe use of machines. Only children between 11-17yrs are permitted in the session and it is limited to one child per one supervising adult. If an adult is found to not be supervising or the child is misusing gym equipment or misbehaving then both parties may be asked to leave.

Booking:

Book your session, up to 7 days in advance, via our Better UK app or online. Juniors to book under "Adult and Junior Gym" and Adults to book under "Gym".
