How our Activate and Focus sessions can support your fitness journey

Led by EGYM fitness technology

At Places Leisure, we understand that every fitness journey is different. Whether you’re new to exercise, getting back into a routine, or looking to reach a new goal, having the right support can make all the difference.

That’s why we offer Activate and Focus sessions as part of our Premium membership - a personalised programme designed to help you build confidence, stay motivated, and achieve sustainable results.

What is Activate and Focus?

Our Activate and Focus programme is a two-part support system built around you and your goals.

  • Activate is your starting point - a one-to-one session where we get to know you, assess your current fitness, and help you plan your next steps.
  • Focus is the ongoing support - regular sessions designed to review progress, keep your motivation high, and make any adjustments to your plan.

Together, they ensure that you’re not just exercising, but progressing in a way that works for your lifestyle.

Your journey begins with Activate

Your Activate session is where it all begins. One of our qualified fitness team will sit down with you to talk through your goals, your experience, and any preferences or concerns you may have. It’s all about making sure your fitness journey starts with confidence and clarity.

You’ll then complete an assessment using the EGYM Fitness Hub - our smart fitness technology that measures your:

  • Strength
  • Flexibility
  • Cardiovascular fitness
  • Metabolism

These measurements are used to calculate your BioAge, a simple number that shows how your current fitness compares to your actual age. It’s a powerful, easy-to-understand way of tracking your progress over time.

Supporting your progress with Focus

As you continue your fitness routine, Focus sessions are scheduled to keep you on track. These one-to-one check-ins are an opportunity to:

  • Review your progress and BioAge updates
  • Discuss any challenges or changes to your goals
  • Adjust your training programme if needed
  • Stay motivated and accountable

It’s not just about measuring progress - it’s about making sure you’re enjoying the journey and feeling supported every step of the way.

Powered by EGYM technology

The Activate and Focus programme is enhanced by our partnership with EGYM, offering a smarter and more personalised way to train. With the EGYM Fitness Hub and Smart Strength and Smart Flex equipment:

  • Machines adjust automatically to your personalised settings
  • Progress is tracked in the Places Leisure app
  • Training is safer, more efficient, and tailored to your current level

You can also connect your own fitness tracker to the app, bringing all your health data together in one place.
