Gym support

We offer a free one-to-one support session for our members* to help familiarise you with the gym, to get to know your goals and build a bespoke digital programme using state-of-the-art EGYM Fitness Hub & Tanita Body Composition scales. We’ll ensure you leave the session feeling confident and ready to start your programme. The session lasts for an hour and can be booked online.  

To make the most of your session, please download the EGYM app before your session.

The EGYM app is available for Apple (iOS) and Android devices.  Simply visit the App Store for Apple devices and Google Play for Android and search for 'EGYM' or download via the links below.

Exercise Referral is a formalised method of enabling those with certain medical conditions, and health risks, to access exercise in a safe and effective manner. Having been referred by a registered health professional you have the reassurance of knowing that physical activity is considered to be appropriate for you.
