All delivered in a friendly and informal setting by the brilliant Our Time Youth Agency CIC team of coaches and instructors.
Each session takes places across Leatherhead Leisure Centre’s fantastic activity spaces, including; the sports hall, tennis courts, multi-use games areas and squash courts.

Junior gym is a dedicated session where teens and older children aged between 11-17 can access the gym and get active. All sessions have a member of staff present, so if you are unfamiliar with any equipment, you can always ask them for safety advice. All juniors, however, are required to book a junior gym induction prior to attending the session.
Sessions take place daily and include:
Monday to Friday – 3.30pm - 6.00pm
Saturday & Sunday – 10:00am - 3:00pm
During holiday periods we also offer the following additional times. Please note that all sessions must now be pre-booked via our online booking system or our app.
Juniors will have access to the majority of gym equipment including:
Juniors are not able to access the free weights area. *Juniors are required to use the lightest weight plates when using the resistance machines.
Before attending their first junior gym session, all juniors must book and attend a junior gym induction. These inductions are conducted by our Fitness Instructors who hold a level 2 qualification, and are conducted in small groups of up to five people. The inductions last 30 minutes and cover all health and safety information pertaining to the gym. Our Instructors will also explain gym etiquette, demonstrate the equipment that juniors are permitted to use during the sessions, and instruct on how to use it safely.
Would you like to bring your child to the gym for free?
Our Adult and Junior Gym sessions allow our pre-paid adults to bring a child to the gym for free. The booking must be made by an adult who books the Adult and Junior gym session with their membership. Juniors must be supervised by the adults at all times. The adult must actually supervise the junior at all points, and must take responsibility for the child. Only children between 11-17 are permitted into these sessions. The session is limited to one child per adult. If the adult isn’t supervising the child or the child misuses or misbehaves the both parties may be asked to leave.
