We have a fully equipped gym using state of the art Technogym equipment, indoor basketball courts, private exercise room, shower facilities, and experienced and qualified personal trainers. Many group fitness classes are regularly held, such as Yoga, Fitball, Bootcamp, Walk n Tone, Fat Burner Aerobics, with many more classes to come. We also cater for female only gym times and classes, under the supervision of our female personal trainer.

We update our timetable weekly, so please keep an eye out for changes and new developments.
We also have a Medical/ Health Centre currently being set up, starting with an experienced senior nurse. Medical check ups, family health advice and a sick bay are some of the services provided, and in the near future we are looking to have the services of a doctor.
