Junior Gym

What is Junior Gym?

At Walthamstow Leisure Centre, our aim is to make fitness fun for the whole family with our dedicated junior gym programme. These sessions are designed to introduce junior members from the age of 11-17 to the world of fitness, providing them with a solid foundation for a healthy and active lifestyle. Whether you opt for a monthly membership or prefer the flexibility of a pay-as-you-go arrangement, our junior gym sessions are readily available to accommodate your first steps on your fitness journey. To ensure a seamless start, all juniors are required to attend a Junior Gym Induction before their first session. 

To ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience for all of our junior and adult members alike, we kindly ask you to make sure you are booking a space in one of the available Junior Gym time slots on the Better UK app or website.

Junior Gym Rules

Due to high demand, attendance at one of our Junior Gym sessions will require a prior booking onto one of the available time slots. Remember that you are required to vacate the gym promptly at the end of your allotted session and are not permitted to stay between sessions. 

Juniors are permitted to use the majority of gym equipment including cardio machines, resistance machines, and equipment in the functional area. When using the resistance machines, we require juniors to utilize the lightest weight plates available and in the functional area, please use dumbbells weighing no more than 10kg. These guidelines ensure your safety and prevent any undue strain.

Please note that juniors are not permitted to access the free weights area for safety reasons.

Adult & Child Gym

Attention all gym members with children! Join our 'Adult and Junior Gym' sessions where Junior and Adult members can train together. Simply book the session as the adult member and bring your child along. Please note that children between 11-17 years old are allowed, with one child per supervising adult. The adult must actively supervise the child, taking responsibility for their conduct and safe equipment use. Both the adult and child may be asked to leave if there is inadequate supervision or inappropriate behavior. Enjoy a shared fitness experience with your child at Walthamstow Leisure Centre!
