The family gym provides a fantastic opportunity for children aged to 7-14* and their parents to work out together. Junior and adult equipment is incorporated into the same area. Children must stay within the designated family workout area (the red zone) whilst parents can use any of the equipment within sight of their children.
*Some family zones also include some miniature kit for 4-7 olds – in other clubs this infant kit can be found in the soft play areas close to the cafes.
Within the family gym there is a wide variety of equipment including junior spin bikes, cross trainers and rowers, enabling children to develop their stamina, (aerobic or cardiovascular fitness).
In addition, there is the unique resistance circuit to help children develop their strength and muscular endurance. The circuit uses hydraulics rather than traditional weight stacks therefore the workout is a lot easier on the joints. Mum & Dads and grandparents alike are also able to use the hydraulic strength equipment.
Before using the family gym all children must have an induction / get to know session. The parent/guardian must attend this session
