We run a range of activities specially designed with the more senior members and visitors in mind. Book onto our sessions via the timetable.

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-Friday 4pm-5pm
- Saturday & Sunday 11am-12pm
There are 12 spaces available so pre-booking is advised. An induction must be completed as part of the first visit, our introductions are offered at the following:
- Junior Gym Intros (4 spaces available) Tuesday & Thursday 4.30pm-5pm
- Saturday & Sunday 11.30am-12pm
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 (18+) on a ratio of a maximum four juniors per adult.
