Youth memberships

Youth memberships are designed to teach children and teenagers (aged 12 to 17) all about physical fitness.

We help to set the foundations for 'fitness for life' by teaching young people how to use gym equipment with correct technique. Our qualified health and fitness professionals design a safe, fun and exciting workout for our younger members.
