So whatever your goals, Bude Leisure Centre is the perfect place to meet them.

 

GYM INDUCTION

If you’re going to be using our gym, your everything starts with a 1-2-1 induction with one of our trained Fitness Instructors, who will help tailor a bespoke gym experience based on your specific needs, as well as introducing you to the gym and different types of machines and equipment.

Our staff are keen to share their wealth of knowledge and expertise to help put you at ease when discussing your goals and planning your regular exercise routine. For the more experienced, you can opt out and get straight to it.

You are never far from help and support if you need it. Just ask a member of staff anywhere in the building. We are always happy to help.

 

RE-FOCUS SESSIONS

Joining a gym is a huge step for most of us. To help ensure you stick to your routine and meet your goals, we are here to help keep you on track with a re-focus session. 

Every six weeks we will offer you the opportunity to re-evaluate your progress with a Fitness Instructor and mix up your programme to keep challenging your body and stop your routine becoming stale.

The session is a good opportunity to assess what's going well, what could be improved, plus your workout preferences will all be taken into account to reinvigorate your Better Gym experience.

Element+ has been designed to bring customers results in comfort. Included in this range, our Inclusive IFI-certified machines for users with sensorial, cognitive or physical disabilities have an identical design to the Element+ machines so as to avoid creating discrimination.

Some of the key feature which make these products stand apart from the competition is:

Physiocam - This feature allows variable resistance to be delivered to accommodate the specific strength curve of the muscle group being trained. As a result, users perceive consistent resistance throughout the entire exercise.

Ergonomic Bioseat - the ergonomic seat and backrest are anatomically shaped to support the spinal column and to help users assume the correct position during workout. Different padding densities have been used to best accommodate the shape of the body, offering soft or firm support wherever needed.

Biomotion – a scientifically established design concept which reproduces the natural movements of the body through the selected range of motion. It enables resistance to remain steady throughout exercising making movement exceptionally fluid.

Simple visual set up - Thanks to the innovative features and settings – made extremely visible by the yellow colour coding - even first-time users will immediately spot them and be able to set up their personal settings on their own.

Smart Pin - This optional feature is integrated into the top of the weight stack and allows you to select an additional incremental plate that is half the weight of those in the rest of the stack. This makes it possible for you to gradually increase the load.
