First Floor Fitness
The first floor has a range of over 100 pieces of cardiovascular (CV) and fixed weight resistance equipment. CV exercise is a great calorie burner and can help you reduce body fat and lose weight, strengthen your heart, improve your aerobic endurance, lower your blood pressure, improve your appearance and psychological well-being.
The CV equipment includes treadmills, arc trainers, steppers, bikes and concept II rowers. You can work at your own pace, or test your fitness against the many preset programmes on the equipment.
The wide range of resistance machines are designed to help strengthen, tone, shape and firm up all the muscles in your body. But don’t think that resistance training is just for body builders – it can help everyone of any age improve general health and fitness. The benefits of resistance training include stronger joints, tendons and ligaments, more strength and endurance for everyday activities, body fat reduction and increased bone density.
Finally, there is also floor space for exercise to help strengthen your core muscles. We have numerous stability balls to help make your workout more challenging and help improve your posture and abdominal tone. Doing hundreds of sit-ups will not remove body fat covering your abdominals, but as part of a sensible balanced diet and exercise programme, abdominal exercises will improve your stomach tone and overall core muscular strength and ebdurance.
Whatever your fitness goals may be, the fitness team will always be happy to advise you on the use of the equipment to help you get the most out of your workout.

Personal Fitness Programmes
We all exercise for a reason, but if we don’t have a specific goal then how will we ever achieve anything? If we don’t have regular programme reviews how do we track our progress?
A Personal Fitness Programme is designed for you, around your schedule and to help you achieve your goals. The aim of a Personal Fitness Programme is to give you a routine and a workout to follow for up to 8 weeks. It is also there to help you understand how to get the most from your training. All Programmes are written by qualified Fitness Instructors and Personal trainers.
Exercise should be challenging but enjoyable, interesting and fun. You should always leave the gym feeling that you have achieved something in each session, if this has stopped happening then you need to review your Programme.
Regular programme reviews are very important as it will challenge the body in a different direction; they also keep you interested in your training.
All goals can be reached and achieved, its just finding the time and the best workout for you, and that is what a Personal Fitness Programme will help you do.
