Wellness programmes
At Riverside Leisure Centre we're dedicated to supporting recovery, rehabilitation and your overall health and wellbeing. That's why we offer several wellness programmes to provide help to those in our community that need it.
Junior fitness
We believe a physically active child is much more likely to become a physically active adult. We run the following supervised sessions for children aged 11-15 years to attend:
- Monday to Friday: 4.00pm - 5.00pm
- Saturday and Sunday: 12.00pm - 1.00pm
All junior gym users must complete a group introduction before using the gym independently. These sessions last 30 minutes and can be booked with a member of our team when joining.
Once a junior member has completed their introduction and received programme advice they can attend outside the above supervised sessions with a parent/guardian or appropriate adult (16+) on a ratio of a maximum four juniors per adult.
Long COVID Recovery Programme
Riverside Leisure Centre is one of dozens of Places Leisure venues currently offering our Long COVID Recovery Programme.
Delivered by certified coaches, we will support you by offering safe and effective advice, exercise guidance and lifestyle hints to help break the cycle of Long COVID symptoms.
Our programme comes at no extra cost to Premium members.
