Youth memberships

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

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